Transient Emphasis
Click the “Transient Emphasis” button to fine-tune the shaping of transients before limiting takes place;
this helps to preserve sharper sounds like drums, while still optimizing loudness.
The higher the amount of transient recovery you dial in using the fader, the more pronounced the
transients will be after the limiting process.

Threshold Meter
The Threshold meter displays gain reduction as it is taking place with level meters. The outer two
meters display the levels of the incoming signal; as gain reduction begins to take place, a gain
reduction meter appears in red between the two level bars.
Visuals
The display at the top of the Vintage Compressor module oers two display modes:
• Detection Filter
• Gain Reduction Trace
To view a given display mode, click on its icon on the left side of the display.
Gain Reduction Trace
Also found in the Dynamics module, the Gain Reduction Trace is a scrolling meter that displays the
incoming signal’s waveform with a superimposed tracing that illustrates the amount of gain reduction
taking place in real-time. The Gain Reduction Trace can help you to set attack and release controls
appropriately and monitor the envelope of gain reduction.
Spectrum Analyzer Graph
The Spectrum Analyzer Graph displays the incoming signal’s waveform as a detailed spectrum.
Note: For both types of metering, you can adjust the vertical scale on the left side of the meter by
hovering over it and using your mouse wheel.
Component Maximizer Plug-in
If you are using Ozone 7 Advanced you will also have the ability to instantiate Ozone 7’s Maximizer
module as an individual component plug-in.
Ozone 7 Advanced includes component plug-ins for all of Ozone’s modules. Each component plug-in
has the same features as its corresponding in-Ozone module.
