Ozone 10 Exciter is an AAX audio plugin for Avid Pro Tools that provides dynamic exciter and saturation processing. It is one of the individual modules that make up iZotope's Ozone 10 Advanced suite, allowing engineers and producers to add harmonic excitement, presence and coloration to individual tracks or the master bus during mixing and mastering. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestioniZotope added native AAX Apple Silicon support to Ozone 10 in version 10.4.0, and a native build has been confirmed in the wild. The native version delivers noticeably better performance and lower CPU usage than running the Intel build under Rosetta 2. Update through the iZotope Product Portal (available at izotope.com — log in with your iZotope account to check for updates and re-download the latest native build). You will need to run the iZotope installer for Ozone 10 Advanced, which now includes the native AAX modules. After installation, Pro Tools will automatically discover and use the native Ozone 10 Exciter AAX plugin alongside any existing instances. Important: ensure Pro Tools itself is running a native build (version 2023.6 or newer for AAX native support), as older Intel-only builds of Pro Tools cannot host Apple Silicon native AAX plugins.
