Saving
The standalone version of Ozone 7 oers three separate save commands, located within the file menu.
They work as follows:
Save
Project Click on File/“Save Project” to save the Ozone project to your computer.
A dialog box will appear, allowing you to specify the save path of the project, as well as the project
name.
Once the project has been initially saved, you can click on the Save Project command again at any
time, and it will automatically update your changes, saving over the previous version.
A saved Ozone project contains the following three components, all placed in an automatically created
folder named after the project:
• An Imported Audio Files folder, that contains a copy of the imported audio files, in their original
state.
• An Exported Audio Files folder, that contains a copy of the exported audio files, in their
processed state.
• A session file (with the file extension “.ozn”) that contains all parameter values that have been
applied to the imported audio files.
This file uses the project name specified by the user.
This is the file you would click on to launch and reload the session, if you wished to make further
adjustments to the audio files and then perform a new export.
Save Project As
Clicking the Save Project As command will always bring up the save dialog box, where you can give a
new name and save the project as a new, separate file from the previously saved version.
This is very useful if you wish to save dierent mastering versions of the same project, and do not wish
to overwrite the old version with new changes you have made.
For example, you could create a mastering session with a very loud, bright mix, intended for radio and
then save that project using the save command. You could then create an alternate mastering, that is
quieter and with more dynamic range, intended for a vinyl release. By using the Save As command,
both versions of your mastering have been saved and preserved.
Note that when using the Save As command, only a new version of the project file (the file containing
the mastering settings) is created. No new version of the actual audio files is created.
