Ozone Imager
Ozone Imager is a free stereo imaging audio plugin from iZotope designed to control and manipulate the stereo width of audio tracks. It allows mixing engineers and producers to widen or narrow any sound, create stereo effects from mono sources using the Stereoize mode, and visualize stereo field information with vectorscope meters. The plugin is widely used in music production, mastering, podcasting and sound design. It is available in multiple formats (AU, AAX, VST2, VST3) for use as a plugin inside professional DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, and others, as well as included within iZotope's Ozone mastering suite.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOzone Imager ships with native Apple Silicon support—iZotope added native arm64 builds in a recent release and their system requirements page explicitly confirms the plugin runs natively on Apple M-series Macs. Since this is an AAX plugin used inside Pro Tools, you need two things to get the native version: (1) Pro Tools itself must be on version 2023.6 or newer (which ships natively on Apple Silicon); (2) update Ozone Imager through iZotope's Product Portal or by downloading the latest version from izotope.com/downloads. Once both are current, Pro Tools will load the native AAX version of Ozone Imager automatically. If you are still running an older Pro Tools build (pre-2023.6), update Pro Tools first via the Avid Application Manager or Avid's website—that is the critical blocker. Verify your Pro Tools version in Help → About Pro Tools; if it is 2023.6 or newer, simply re-download Ozone Imager from iZotope to get the native build.
