I see it now has a facility that you can insert your own VSTs into its signal flow. Just as well...
 
btw I bought v5 with the promise of a free v6 (dynamic eq being the carrot) but I'm buggered if I'm forking out the extra for advanced version.

THIS!!!

I never really thought much about Dynamic EQ before the Ozone 6 hype, but like the concept. What other options are out there for folks interested in one? I was putzing with a google search earlier but not sure how to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I don't believe you can use 3rd part software there. I believe you can load one of the Ozone 6 modules only. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

I purchased Ozone 5 about a week before they announced Ozone 6. I was pleasantly surprized that izotope included my purchase time for the free upgrade, but I cannot say that I am loving ozone 6. I think I will continue to use ozone 5 in the DAW. I am not sure that they added anything, but they did remove stuff.
Likes:
The standalone app. I think that is going to help me the most in the future
Gui:it is cool and fun to move the dials, but just a different look really
Dislikes:  
The individual presets, ie are somewhat hidden from view. I just found how to access them. 
Removal of Reverb and Gate. 

apparently another forum a different post this is what is missing:

Things missing:
1. Reverb
2. Two algorithms in Maximizer are not there.
3. Other dithering algorithms apart from MBIT+ are gone.
4. Imager misses controls for phase, polarity and delay offset.
5. Gate/expander gone
6. Dynamics histogram view gone
7. Due to the change of GUI the scaling sliders for individual processes are gone

What we got:
1. Nicer GUI
2. Dynamics EQ
3. Standalone app (which I don't really need)

Has anyone here trialed it yet? I hope it has full screen mode for the standalone. I wonder what export options it has? I'm not worried about fewer dither, limiter modes and I never once used the gate. I like the things I never use being absent.

And now it can load 3rd party plugins too :)

MDynamicEQ. The best one I've found, and I've tried most of 'em. Wait until it goes on sale again for $44. That, or get its big brother MAutoDynamicEQ, which adds spectrum-matching and two more bands.
 
Once you've dipped your toe into dynamic equalization you'll wonder how you ever got by with just static EQs.

I think about that every time I listen to a wonderful sounding record... how did we get along without Dynamic EQ? :-)
 
 
 
 
How about Gliss EQ? That was the first product about which I heard the phrase "EQ dynamics". I always turned the "dyn" off.
 
 
 
 

What would be the difference between dynamic EQ and multi band compression?

I presumed as much , thanks for the input!
 
I did download GlissEQ yesterday and was playing with it on a 30 second track... I kept getting a flashing message that "audio drops out occasionally" but it never went out on me so left me wondering. Perhaps the track was too short to get the dropout (but I assumed it would be when the warning flashed). I didn't really delve into it much other than a few minutes of play time.
