Yes, I went against all known advice and tried it across the stereo mix bus. You can do these things with reverb, EQ and panning but there’s a pronounced, ethereal quality about the Ozone sound that tells me there’s more going on than basic mixing techniques. Each setting will change it’s mix placement. Flip to a different setting and now it may move to the right and be in the forefront.

If you have a guitar part or a vocal part and apply an Ozone preset, the part will seem to be floating in space back in the mix somewhere. Why use it? It magically gives the stereo field a far greater sense of depth. I’ve been experimenting with it and the results have been both interesting and impressive. This Izotope Ozone 5 is one of our new plug ins.
