It is used by music producers, mastering engineers, and mixing professionals in professional studios and home setups.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOzone 9 Maximizer is a VST audio plugin, not a standalone application, so it cannot be updated independently through the App Store or a generic download. Instead, update it through iZotope's official plugin management tool, the iZotope Product Portal, which handles all iZotope plugins and software updates. Launch the iZotope Product Portal on your Mac, select Ozone 9 Maximizer from your library, and check for available updates. iZotope released native Apple Silicon support for most of its audio products starting with Ozone 10 (released in 2021), so if your Ozone 9 Maximizer is still running under Rosetta 2, upgrading to a newer version of Ozone through the iZotope Product Portal would provide native performance. If you prefer to stay on Ozone 9, verify in the iZotope Product Portal whether a native build of Ozone 9 Maximizer became available; if not, be aware that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point Intel-only builds will stop launching on your Mac.
