Taken from the Izotope Site http://www.izotope.com/support/downloads.html FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE IZOTOPE RELEASES FULL PLUG-IN LINE FOR PRO TOOLS, VST AND DIRECTX Cambridge, MA, March 22, 2004 - IZOTOPE, INC., recognized innovator in digital media technology, has released its entire line of professional audio plug-ins in Pro Tools, VST, and DirectX formats. The release includes iZotope Ozone, a 64-bit analog modeled mastering system, iZotope Trash, a 64-bit classic amp, distortion, delay and filter simulator, and iZotope Spectron, a versatile spectral-based effect. iZotope Ozone is a 64-bit mastering plug-in featuring analog modeling with options for digitally transparent processing. Features include: Loudness maximizer with Intelligent Release Control for extremely transparent limiting Proprietary MBIT+ wordlength reduction technology Tube modeled multiband dynamics with analog and linear-phase crossover modes, RMS and peak detection Tube modeled EQ with linear phase mode for digitally transparent equalization, intelligent matching function for spectrum matching 64-bit acoustically modeled reverb iZotope Trash sets a new standard in distortion and amp modeling. With its wide range of 64-bit box, cabinet, and speaker models, multiband distortion algorithms, fully sweepable and triggerable filters, and unique delay module, Trash is able to provide a superior sound with tremendous flexibility. Highlights include: 48 distortion types ranging from tube overdrive to the fuzz of germanium transistors. Chain pairs of distortions together for sonic destruction at 64-bit precision, or split the signal into multiple bands and apply distortion independently to individual frequencies. Realistic modeling of 85 amp cabinets and speakers. Classics, combos, boutique models, stacks... a tone and character for any occasion. 36 filters that can be LFO or envelope triggered through a unique graphical display. Synth filters, resonant filters, classic analog filters and more. Multiband dynamics and gating to control the peaks and tame the noise. Trash the echo with a selection of classic lo-fi delays. Tape delay with saturation and nonlinear tape machine artifacts, tape-tube delay with added tube saturation modeling, classic analog delay with analog degradation and Lo-fi digital delay with quantization noise and aliasing. iZotope Spectron is the new "must have" tool for sound designers. It's designed around the Spectron Engine, a core processing module which decomposes audio into thousands of frequency bands for spectral processing. Spectron offers a powerful interface which lets sound designers control groups of frequency bands with virtually unlimited options for sweeping and triggering. By chaining effects including morphing, panning, delay/feedback combinations and filtering, it's easy to find a unique sound with Spectron. Features include: Morph module for vocoder-style spectral morphing with frequency-selective amount control Spectral-based delay with independent delay and feedback control for each frequency band Spectral-based stereo panning Filter module for frequency-selective attenuation Smear module including four independent delay lines with flanger-style LFO for smoothing the output of the Spectron Engine Innovative interface allows for virtually unlimited sweeping and triggering options, includes advanced LFO settings with amplitude, frequency and pulse-width modulation. Along with support for the new formats, the releases include several key optimizations and enhancements to the DirectX versions of the products. All plug-ins are available for purchase as a download or on CD from the iZotope web site. Ozone 3 for Pro Tools 6.1+, VST, and DirectX is available for $299 to new customers and $49 to current Ozone 3 DirectX customers. Trash for Pro Tools 6.1+, VST, and DirectX is available for $199 to new customers and $39 to current Trash DirectX customers. Spectron for Pro Tools 6.1+, VST, and DirectX is available for $99 to new customers and $29 to current Spectron DirectX customers. All plug-ins are shipping on CDs with extra content for an additional $29. Updates to the DirectX version for existing DirectX customers are provided free of charge. George Ware |

I'm just glad to see that they've removed the PACE/iLok copy protection for all but ProTools users again. Just wish I could get their new online activation system to work, but I'm sure it's just a server glitch... |

Hello MAC - MONEY How do you rate - SPECTRON, it looks very cool and the demo seems so awesome. Have you beaten on it, and tried it thoroughly? There is no doubt that I will after (my Vegas 5 update) purchase the update for Ozone, that package is so awesome, and the reverb is very natural -- I tip my hat to those guys -- WOOOOH --- Furthermore, how is Trash -- Read some reviews on it and it good a nice repsonse for the reviewer. I am happy to see that in Mass we have some pretty cool developers... MOTU, IZOTOPE, AVID, etc. Peace - Kevin *** |
