Preset System
Ozone features a preset manager that allows you to quickly and easily work with presets.
Note that User Presets are the same as Global Presets, as users can save to the factory presets
folders.
Preset Manager
By default the preset manager will open automatically at startup. If you do not wish for this to occur,
uncheck the “show at startup” box at the bottom of the presets window.
To open or close the Preset Manager, click the Browse button in the lower left-hand corner of the
screen, or press the keyboard shortcut P.
Ozone 7 presets are organized into three folders, based on their level of processing:
• Balanced: These are the standard set of Ozone 7 mastering presets.
• Light: These are based in the balanced set, but are more transparent, applying less processing
to the audio. Best suited for louder mixes.
• Heavy: These are based on the balanced set, but are more aggressive, applying more
processing to the audio. Best suited for quieter mixes.
Selecting Presets
Loading Presets in Ozone
You can select and audition any preset by simply clicking on the name in the list. This will activate the
relevant selected Ozone modules, and you will hear the eect of the preset when you play back your
audio. You can easily compare several dierent presets just by picking a dierent name on the list.
Working with Presets in Ozone
Once you have selected a preset from the list, you may choose to change the original settings within a
specific module. When you change any of the original settings within a preset you will see an asterisk
(*) added to the beginning of the preset’s name. This means that the preset has been altered. If you
want to keep these settings you need to “Add” a new preset or “Save” the existing preset in the Preset
Manager.
Working Settings
If you modify a preset’s settings, then these modified settings become your “Working Settings.” Your
Working Settings will always be at the top of the preset list within the preset manager.
This allows you to freely preview and compare dierent preset options. When you are done, you can
return to your Working Settings by selecting the item at the top of the Preset Manager labeled .
To select a preset and have it replace your Working Settings, just select the name of the new preset.
