help iZotope Ozone Imager FAQ
Is Ozone Imager a full mastering suite or just one module?
Ozone Imager is a dedicated stereo imaging plugin, not the full iZotope Ozone mastering suite. It focuses on width, stereoization, metering, and phase correlation.
Can Ozone Imager make a mono track sound wider?
Yes. Its Stereoize mode is designed to create a wider stereo impression from mono or narrow material, which is why producers often try it on synths, backing vocals, or percussion loops.
What meters are built into Ozone Imager?
It includes visual stereo metering such as a vectorscope and correlation display. Those tools help show whether a signal is wide, narrow, or likely to cause phase problems in mono.
Where does Ozone Imager usually sit in a mix?
Mix engineers usually place it on individual tracks, buses, or the master channel depending on the problem. For mastering, it is commonly used cautiously because extreme width changes can affect mono compatibility.
