What's New in Version 3

Highlights

• Full support for VST, AU, RTAS, and AAX plug-ins
• Over 75 professionally designed presets

Expanded Signal and Effect Processes

• New signal and effect processes added include noise gate, reverb, simple delay, chorus, flanger

Automatic Loudness-Leveling Capabilities

• Precisely calibrated AES/EBU loudness meters help you make use of the entire dynamic range for broadcast audio files
• Loudness meter ensures compliance with broadcast loudness regulations such as the CALM (Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation) Act
• Flexible meter positioning puts you in control of the location and the orientation of the meters

Audio Repair Improvements

• Automatic clip detection quickly scans for and detects clipping
• The Detect Clipping command automatically places markers at each instance of an audio clip to help you quickly locate and repair audio clippings

Dynamic Rendering of Project Files

• No need to render intermediary pre-masters any more
• Pass multiple audio pre-masters through unique plug-in chains as they are being burned Disc-At-Once to a Red Book standard CD
• A single click saves every project file, along with information about the plug-in chain and its associated audio asset

Mastered for iTunes Auditioning

• Hear exactly what your mastered-for-iTunes audio sounds like before rendering
• Continue to adjust, edit, and enhance while auditioning the results in real-time without rendering

Load Audio Portions of Popular Video File Formats

• Open and edit the audio stream from a variety of popular video file formats including XAVC, XDCAM, AVCHD, and more

iZotope RX Elements

• De-Clip: Restores distorted audio by detecting and repairing clipping artifacts
• Voice De-Noise: Specifically designed to fine-tune vocals and dialog by reducing background noise
• De-Hum: Easily remove line noise and ground-loop hum
• De-Click: Use the low-latency de-click algorithm to remove clicks and crackle from vinyl recordings, or attenuate the “clicky” performance of a bass-guitar track

iZotope Ozone Elements

• Based on the algorithms of legendary iZotope Maximizer
• Enables you to achieve a full, rich, and loud final master — radio- and streaming-ready

Key Features

Processing Power

• Optimized for Mac OS X environment
• Designed to work flawlessly with native and third-party plug-ins

High-Resolution Recording

• Record high-resolution audio at 24-bit / 192 kHz
• Up to 32 channels of simultaneous recording
• Customizable window layouts give you access to flexible hardware routing and adjustable metering utilities

Precise Editing

• Edit at the sample level
• Configure viewing panels to toggle between multiple open files, and configure open projects for easy access to editing features
• Easily switch between time-based or event-based editing modes

Interoperability with Spectralayers Pro 4

• Complete round-trip workflow with SpectraLayers Pro 4
• Experience the best of both waveform editing and spectral editing
• Menu commands enable you to easily move files between the two applications and utilize the unique strengths of these powerful audio tools

Mastering for Music and Dialog

• Combine native mastering tools such as the Wave Hammer Compressor/Limiter with included iZotope plug-ins to perfect the audio

Disc-At-Once CD Burning

• Burn all open files directly to a Red Book compliant, replication-ready master CD
• Add track markers to a single-file recording of a live set and burn a gapless, Disc-At-Once, Red Book standard audio CD

File Conversion Automation

• Standalone batch processing application automates multiple-file processing in a single operation
• Convert to a new file format, add processing and effects, add metadata including artwork, to multiple files in a single batch process

Flexible and Customizable Workspace

• Easily optimize the interface for the task at hand
• Click the show-/hide-pane buttons to quickly readjust the interface layout
• Drag tools from one pane to another to customize tool location to suit your workflow

Multiple Edit Mode

Time Mode

• For general purpose editing — enables you to select a range of time within the waveform, and manipulate just that audio

Event Mode

• For editing non-destructively
• Event-based editing allows you to divide a sound file into any number of independent sections (events) that can be arranged and rearranged on the timeline
• Event Mode allows you to convert regions to events, lock event markers, region markers, and envelope points to events, and automatically ripple successive events forward in time while editing

Normalize

• Use the normalize feature to accomplish standard peak-level normalization, or modify an audio file dynamics directly using average RMS-level normalization
• Great for matching the apparent loudness of different recordings

Channel Converter

• Use the Channel Converter to change the number of channels in an audio file, reverse the channels of a stereo file or intermix the channels of a multichannel file to create panning scenarios

Native Processor

• Built-in native-audio processors provide powerful sound-shaping possibilities
• Apply processes such as Auto Trim, Fade In/Out, Invert/Flip, Mute, Reverse, and Volume to a specific time selection within an audio file or to the entire file

Post-Processing

Bit-Depth Conversion

• Convert sound files to different bit depths while applying dithering using the included iZotope MBIT+Dither plug-in
• Achieve optimum bit-depth conversion with detailed control over parameters such as bit-depth selection, dither mode, noise shaping, minimize peaks, and silence harmonics

Sample-Rate Conversion

• Convert the sample rate of an existing sound file accurately using the included iZotope 64-bit SRC (sample rate converter) plug-in
• Achieve optimum sample rate conversion with detailed control over parameters such as sample rate selection, quality, steepness, filter length, cutoff scaling, alias suppression, and pre-ring

Time Stretch

• Use zplane élastique time-stretch plug-in to achieve optimal pitch-shifting and audio file length adjustments, without artifacts
• State-of-the-art psychoacoustic models and signal-processing theory provide stable timing, inter-channel phase coherence, and sample-accurate stretching
• Achieve formant-preserving pitch shifting
• Choose from various stretching methods tailored to your source audio, including Pro, Soloist, and Efficient modes
• Monitor and adjust settings while previewing in real time

Synthesis

• Use the simple synthesis plug-in to generate basic waveforms and noise
• Perfect for creating pitch-accurate tuning notes and pink and white noise for room tuning

Wave Hammer

• Audio mastering tool which combines a classic compressor and a volume maximizer
• Use the Compressor to add punch to your audio or crank it up to create analog-like distortion
• Use the Volume Maximizer to boost the overall level of a signal without clipping or distortion or to limit the signal's peak amplitude

Audio Effects

• Improve the quality of your audio or create unique sounds using the included processes and effects
• Apply effects individually or use a plug-in chain to add multiple plug-ins to process your audio
• Adjust parameters and preview the results in real-time prior to rendering
