| The verdict | A mastering suite that podcasters borrow from music production to get a final loudness and polish pass on an episode. |
| Free tier | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | Shows that care about a consistent, professional final loudness and tonal balance across episodes. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone just trying to clean up a noisy recording, that's RX's job, not Ozone's. |
| The gotcha | It's built for music mastering, so a lot of its modules, like stereo imaging, do nothing useful for a mono voice recording. |
