Native Instruments offers iZotope Ozone, a mastering plugin suite that uses an AI-powered Master Assistant to analyze an audio track and automatically generate a custom chain of mastering processing settings — including EQ, dynamics, loudness, and width — as a starting point for the user.
Details
Ozone's Master Assistant, first introduced in 2017 and continuously updated (most recently in Ozone 12), listens to a section of a user's audio, analyzes it against thousands of professional reference tracks, identifies genre, and recommends a tailored signal chain covering tonal balance, dynamics, stereo width, and loudness. It uses neural networks (described by iZotope as 'best-in-class neural nets') for modules such as Bass Control and Unlimiter in Ozone 12. The user retains full control and can adjust all settings after the AI suggestion.
