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.
