EQ/Reverb/Crossover Options

The EQ/Reverb/Crossover tab lets you control Ozone's equalizer, reverb and crossover module options.

Equalizer

Filter size

This controls the resolution of the EQ when used in the Digital or Matching modes. Higher filter sizes will result in more precise frequency resolution, at the expense of more CPU.

Buffer size

Sets the buffer size for the Digital and Matching EQ. See Buffer Sizes for more info.

Soft Saturation

Turns on an algorithm which will gradually rolloff the level through EQ bands if they start to saturate. Since Ozone uses 64 bit DSP, it can accurately process signals with extended dynamic ranges and you can leave this off in most cases. The exception would be if you had reordered the modules so that the Paragraphic Equalizer was the absolute last process in the chain, in which case this option can soften any clipping that occurs in the EQ before being sent to the output.

Link EQ curve and info panel selections

When enabled, the EQ curve's selected band will automatically update when changes are made in the info panel. This makes it easy to find which band you're changing in the info panel. Also, when you change the active band by clicking on the EQ curve, the focus will move to the new active band.

Alt-Solo Filter Q

Allows you to set the default Q or width of the filter that is activated when Alt-clicking on the Paragraphic Equalizer.

Reverb

Room reverb buffer size

Sets the buffer size for the Room-modeled reverb. See Buffer Sizes for more info.

Crossover

Number of bands

Allows you to set the default number of bands available in the multiband modules. (up to 4)

Crossover type

Selects between a digital linear phase crossover, an analog crossover, and the new Hybrid crossover. The digital crossover provides a more transparent sound, while the analog crossover option provides a natural analog character. The Hybrid crossover is a perfect reconstruction IIR analog crossover designed to reduce phase distortion and frequency distortion found in other analog crossovers while maintaining precise crossover points and the warm characteristics of analog crossovers.

Crossover buffer size

Sets the buffer size for the digital crossover. See Buffer Sizes for more info.

Crossover Q

Adjust the bandwidth or Q of the digital crossover filters. A higher Q results in tighter crossovers, while a lower Q provides a more gradual transition from one band to the next.

Show mini-spectrum handles

Provides the option of turning on or off the horizontal handles (white lines) that appear in the mini-spectrum while adjusting multiband controls.
