Ozone allows you to set widening and imaging for the mix using a multiband stereo imaging module. As with the other multiband modules in Ozone (Dynamics and Harmonic Exciter) the module is split up into four bands determined by the multiband crossover points displayed on the spectrum.
Key Features
• Provides up to four bands of widening for adding space to your mix
• Apply multichannel delay controls to adjust the perceived location of the stereo field
• Visualize the stereo image with Vectorscope and Correlation meters as well as new Width Spectrum View and Correlation Trace View to help you troubleshoot potential phase problems
Ozone Advanced Exclusives:
• Stereoize feature adds stereo width to mono or narrow recordings. When in Stereoize mode, the Width controls for bands 1-4 introduce a natural-sounding widening effect.
Band Widening: These controls set the amount of stereo widening for each band. Higher amounts provide more widening: -1.0 (mono) to 1.0 (full widening)
Meters: The Stereo Imaging module provides a view of the stereo imaging field through the Correlation meter and Vectorscope.
Mini-Spectrum Window
The window at the top of the module defaults to a display of the signal spectrum. However, with selections on the left it may also display the Stereo Width Spectrum as well as the Correlation Trace.
Stereo Width Spectrum: a mirrored spectrum display of the incoming signal’s stereo width by frequency superimposed on the multiband crossover display.
Correlation Trace: a scrolling tracing of the incoming signal’s stereo correlation drawn in real-time. Positive (in phase) values are drawn in grey while negative (out of phase) values are drawn in red.
Stereoizer: This Ozone 5 Advanced exclusive feature
uses stereo synthesis to add natural-sounding stereo width to mono
or narrow recordings. The
Stereoizer’s stereo synthesis effect allows mono capability to be
retained throughout the process. By adjusting the delay control you may
control the character of the stereo effect. The Depth control
affects the stereo width effect by changing when sound arrives at
the listener’s ears. In addition, the Stereoize effect is totally
mono-compatible—even if you add width to audio, it can still be
played back in mono without producing unpleasant artifacts.
Component Stereo Imaging Plug-in
If you are using Ozone 5 Advanced you will also have the ability to instantiate Ozone 5's Stereo Imaging module as an individual component plug-in. Ozone 5 Advanced includes component plug-ins for all six of Ozone's modules complete with all the same features as the module within Ozone. Any module presets saved within Ozone will open within the component plug-ins' module preset system.
