Standalone Version Operation
Ozone 7’s standalone version allows you to use its mastering tools as a standalone application; no
external DAW or two-track editor is required.
This approach can be advantageous when your un-mastered audio already exists as a standalone
audio file, and you wish to process it in as straightforward a manner as possible, without the
complexity or CPU overhead of running a separate DAW or two-track editor.
The following is an explanation of the commands and workflows that are unique to the standalone
version of Ozone 7, that are not present when using it as a plug-in with your DAW software.
File Menu
Ozone’s file menu contains the dierent commands you use to perform functions such as:
• Loading audio files into an Ozone project for processing
• Saving the project
• Exporting the processed audio files
The file menu’s dierent commands are detailed below, in the context of describing the workflow of
loading, processing, and saving audio files.
Loading Files
Upon launching the standalone Ozone application, a new project will automatically be created. The
first step is to import an audio file into the new project.
To do so, you can:
• Click on the File menu at the top of the screen, then “Import Audio Files.”
• Click on the “plus” icon at the top-left area of the interface.
• Use keyboard shortcut Cmd+I or Ctrl+I
A standard dialog box will appear where you can navigate to the desired le, then click “Open” to
import it into the project.
