AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOzone 8 Spectral Shaper is a VST plugin component, not a standalone app, and must be updated through iZotope's official update channel. Launch the iZotope Product Portal (iZotope's main plugin manager and installer utility) on your Mac and check for updates to the Ozone suite. The Product Portal will automatically detect which versions of iZotope plugins you have installed and allow you to update them. If you have not yet installed the Product Portal, download it from iZotope's website and use it to manage all your iZotope plugin installations and updates. iZotope has been shipping native Apple Silicon builds of Ozone and its component plugins since version 9 and onwards, so updating through the Product Portal will move you to a native build. However, if you are staying on Ozone 8, note that this is a legacy version and iZotope has not released a native Apple Silicon build for it. This means Ozone 8 will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Consider upgrading to a current version of Ozone or another iZotope suite product through the Product Portal to ensure your plugins remain functional on future macOS releases.
