AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOzone 9 is a VST plugin, not a standalone application, and cannot be updated directly from the App Store or a generic vendor download page. The correct update channel is the iZotope Product Portal, the vendor's own plugin management and licensing system. iZotope added native Apple Silicon support to Ozone 9 Advanced in version 9.12 (released April 2022), so if you are running an older build of Ozone 9, you should update through the iZotope Product Portal to receive the native version. Launch the Portal, sign in with your iZotope account, navigate to your installed products, and check for available updates. The Portal will serve you the native Apple Silicon build if your Mac qualifies. If you are running a current version of Ozone 9, verify in your DAW's plugin manager or by checking the plugin architecture (Get Info on the plugin bundle) whether it is the native ARM64 build; if it shows as Intel-only, re-running the iZotope Product Portal updater will replace it with the native version.
