Message: [QUOTE="Borrowdale Barron, post: 15803, member: 6"] [USER=2313]@Tanonoka[/USER] replicating EQ curves it's time-consuming for the average person hence VST plug-ins like Vintage EQ will always come in handy to provide an end-user with a fast workflow and for productivity purposes a seamless approach surely makes sense. Sometimes on other EQs like FabFilter ProQ, DMG Equilibrium, or even Neutron Equalizer you'd need like 3 to 5 bells to get it right depending on what you are trying to clone. And when you decide to change the center frequency you have to move those 3 to 5 bells to a new position—rinse repeat. So y'all can imagine what time you'd be spending with all that clicking and typing into input fields to make sure things are on point. [USER=2178]@Bombastus[/USER] iZotope Ozone is one of those plug-in bundles that should be bought and used with great care because it's so easy to mess things up real quick if you go overboard. So I assume what [USER=2313]@Tanonoka[/USER] is trying to say is it's better especially for noobs to ONLY stick to using the Equalizer and the Maximizer module instead of unnecessarily complicating things with other modules like: [LIST] [*]Master Rebalance [*]Low-End Focus [*]Exciter [*]Dynamics [*]Dynamic EQ [*]Spectral Shaper [*]Vintage Comp [*]Vintage Tape [*]Vintage Limiter [*]etc. [/LIST] The reality is that in most cases (like you have pointed out yourself [USER=2178]@Bombastus[/USER]) you really don't need them at all and if I am not mistaken in order for you to be able to use Ozone Maximizer's IRC IV algorithm you need to purchase the Advanced bundle. You can't do it separately e.g. with FabFilter you can buy Pro-L2 only if you want. You don't have to buy a bundle. The end result is you gotta pay iZotope $499 USD for only ONE module that would have prolly cost less if you were to buy it alone, LOL. So yeah, it's good business on their end and arguably the reason they bundle stuff as a means to justify why you ought to spend more gwap on dem tings. ? [/QUOTE]
