I grabbed it on Page's and hi and lo's recommendations and love it.  I run it with Audition.   Have tried it with Audacity, but as noted, it's painful.

You do have to be careful about overdoing it with Ozone.  There is a lot of really cool stuff you can do with it, but you can easily overdo it if you're not careful.

All of the Izotope products are top notch and well worth the money.  Their Alloy is getting great reviews too.

spent some time in the studio with my friend today playing with it and I liked it. 

Came home to mess with it in audacity and I can't even get teh damn program open.

I see it loading the drivers when audacity starts, I've got the vst plugin tool added, and ozone is in the driver folder, is there something else I'm missing?

here is a shot of the studio I was in. I think I was salivating at all the cool toys.

I started with Ozone 4 about a year and a half ago and upgraded to 5 (while the intro offer was still going). I think 5 sounds and functions better.

That said, I haven't had a ton of plugins aside from the ones that came with my Metric Halo +DSP license and Reaper. Outside of that, I've maybe demoed or bought 10-20 plugs so I don't really feel like I'm qualified to say, "This is killer" or "This sucks".
Personally, I feel like it's an excellent learning tool. It has just about anything you could ask for in a single plug-in but that's a double edged sword. You can go crazy and mess stuff up beyond belief (but IMHO, that's something that everybody has to do for a while). And while it's a little better now, it can be a CPU hog. If you have an old computer, and your host DAW isn't light in it's requirements, you might be better off with individual plugs.

I'm hoping to learn enough to "outgrow" some of the modules in Ozone eventually,.. but I could see using it for quite a while.

I can only guess it's audicity?  But should ozone be loaded into the VST folder, like any other VST app?

I think it's an issue wtih the VST bridge tool for Audacity. The plugins are supposed to be stored in the normal system VST folder like any other, but there is something squirley with the bridge connector that I had trouble with the first couple of times.

Darn, unless I'm missing something it appears on page 64 of http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/iZOzone5_en.pdf that standard version of ozone 5 does not offer stereo linking of its limiter.  Does anyone using the standard version know for sure whether or not its limiter can be stereo linked?

If it can't then what were they thinking because that's a fundamental requirement for a mastering limiter.  I understand iZotope wants people to spend the extra bucks on their advanced version which has it but that would be an unacceptable omission.  Don't know if ozone 4 had a stereo linking master limiter but that version is not available anymore anyway.  After trying the advanced version I had high hopes for the standard version but without this feature it just won't do.

If it indeed doesn't offer stereo linking then it's time to start looking harder and demoing the competing products by; IK multimedia, Fabfilter, Slate Digital and Brainworx because the advanced version of ozone 5 and waves mastering bundles are more that I'm willing to spend.

It can be in both standard and advanced. They made that change after printing the manual. There is a post on GS about it somewhere.

It can be ran as linked (so pre-ozone5 mode), fully independent, or any degree of linked/independent in percentage form. They've also added (after 5.03 I think) the ability to tune the Intel3 mode in terms of aggressiveness (normal, crisp, clipping, etc).

I think the info regarding the standard Ozone 5 upgrades were in the original "Ozone 5 Released" GS thread. It was a nice to see iZotope respond to the needs (and rants) of their customers.

Even though this thread has gotten a little off subject, I've found it very instructive,.. thanks guys!

To add something other than another "me too" post, here's a link to a couple of Sound on Sound articles on "Advanced Compression Techniques" which cover most all the subjects in page and gutbucket's posts.

Thanks Page, I had e-mailed iZotope Support at the time of my last post and they responded today with the same answer.  They stated Ozone 5 Standard offers stereo linking of the limiter as of version 5.01 and that the help document has a typo.   :)
