Winamp Plug-in Details

Winamp Staff Review

Great tool for ehancing audio
This is a very slick plug-in that allows you to add that extra flavor to your audio files. The interface is top notch and engaging...complete with some very handy configuration settings, this is sure to help you get the most out of your song files. The free version has a great many options disabled tho, so you'll probably want the full version to get the good stuff.

A brill DSP plugin, worth the money.You will need to play around with the settings, to get it to your personal level, but just go for it.

Best of its type

Apr. 25th, 2008

I have used this program for several years, and love it. It is the best DSP I have tried with Winamp, or any other music player for that matter. It really works.It enhances the sound quality in many different, programmable ways. You just have to try it.

Love it

Izotope make some of the best professional products out there, and this is also great. Very nice!

Nice preset

Jan. 24th, 2008

My second choice DSP plugins after STEREO TOOL plugin by Hans van Zutphen (5 star). Too bad artist preset cannot be updating. Except you add your own some trial and error.

Not free

Oct. 28th, 2007

I really wish Winamp changed their site so we would know when something is free or not free. Because this isn't free! It got 5 stars so it has to be great.

Wonderfull

Jul. 4th, 2007

Ok, let's face it - I'm not an audiophile. I'm not an audio pro. I don't even hear subtle nuances in music. I don't know the terms used. I just care about the feeling. Hence: lot's of crap will follow...Listening to FLACs on a pair of really good professional audio monitors (with reasonably flat freq.response 85Hz-20kHz and very good sounding lows) is much more _enjoyable_ when this plugin is enabled. The room simulation really adds some life to the sound even at low SPL. Reverb or what ever you audiophiles call it. If I turn off the room simulation, the sound becomes boringly flat. I'll still have a wonderfull sound stage thanks to these two gems, but it's so... static and boring. More exact and defined maybe, but in my opinion it really looses some "life".The tube amplifier bass compression also enhances my listening experience. It makes the bass sound much more like my grand grand mothers valve radio - and that's not a bad thing! Progressive trance, for example, just sounds SO MUCH better! I like that wonderfull bass! Without Ozone the sound becomes very dry and analytical.I don't have clue about how this Ozone sounds with the usual "multimedia speakers", and frankly I don't want to know :)This plugin is worth a try.

You just can't beat the classics!

I've tried every DSP out there, or so it seems sometimes....but I always come back to Ozone, my first love! :) Ultimate configurability and oh-so-many options for fine-tuning the details -- perfect for those with high-end soundcards and speakers who use Winamp as their primary entertainment hub. No other DSP handles your output with such power yet gently enough to preserve the original integrity of the input.Couple it with AudioBurstFX and turn your PC into a massive audiophile's dreamsystem! =)

Ozone

Jan. 8th, 2007

I've tried many Winamp DSP plug-ins over the years. This is by far the best overall sound/ambience adjusting tool that I have found. If you like to tinker with controls this is for you. If you don't like to mess around with adjustments just use one of the many presets available. If you're not listening on hifi equipment this will make your computer speakers sound much better.Used to be free (crippled version no longer available) but I bought the full version anyway. Very professional.
- David Duani

Ozone THE BEST

Oct. 23rd, 2006

The best by far. If you know music and have hearing ability, then this is simply the best there is..
- Peter Plarre

Best kid on the block.

Aug. 21st, 2006

I really wish some people would stop complaining. Even on a 1Ghz PC, Ozone works just fine. It offers a hell of a lot more control than any other DSP, the free version is NOT a TRIAL and it sounds great, especially with audiophile-quality speakers (5.1 systems recommended). *VERDICT:Beats other DSP plug-ins HANDS-DOWN. **RATING: 10 out of 10.
- Stefan Rosic

useless

Aug. 8th, 2006

only gives you a few presets. Very anoying messages regarding full version.

Discount still available

Aug. 5th, 2006

FYI, the "OZMP-DF45" discount is still valid as of August '06. I just bought the OzoneMP plug-in the other day for $19.

my opinion

Jul. 14th, 2006

it sound good but i wish that there was a plugin like this that didn't make you pay to get the full effect

Very authentic sound

Apr. 5th, 2006

Last year I hopped on the wagon and digitized my entire collection. While this is beyond convenient in terms of having all of my media a click, instead of a load-and-wait, away, it also provided pretty stark, cold sound, even at the alleged 'CD quality' bitrate of 320. So I searched and searched the plug-ins here. I ran Enhancer for some time, and was pretty satisfied. But I could still hear 'breathing' and 'pumping' in the cymbals, and the sound overall was short of my traditional stereo experience. But OZONE ROCKS! This thing reminds me of listening to that brushed aluminum monster of a stereo my dad ran when I grew up in the 70's and 80's. I mean, DAMN! It truly 'warms' the sound. There's a reason that old analog receivers, amps, synthesizers - you name it - often sell for much higher rates than their highly capable digital counterparts. There really is a 'warmth' that can't be described until you really listen. There's no 'fatigue' in the sound, and the bass gets compressed for a tighter bunch instead of the boomy crap we all get from our computers, even when streaming to a high-end stereo. Ozone compresses the bass, warms the mids, and cuts the harshness from digitized, compressed highs. Sh*t, that ALONE is worth the price. But you get a ton of stuff to play with. My FAVORITE without doubt is being able to assign values to each song or string of similarly produced tracks. This ENDS that SEVERE irritation of reaching for the bass knob to handle different production values of different songs. For instance, Crystal Method is gonna blow my woofers, but the Pretenders won't. You just listen to your tracks, EQ it to optimum settings, and assign it. All your music will sparkle, and you won't boom yerself out of the room when you skip from, say, The Rolling Stones to Prodigy. It also has kicka*s stereo widening, giving the vocals a truly 'live' feel. You can adjust the values of your room's acoustics, and whole hell of a lot more. If you look, there are promotion codes available online. I had the free version set to 'warm and airy' but got pissed because that damned red window kept popping up! Dude, it's $19, or $29 if you're not resourceful. This is a serious audio company specializing in pro recording software. All of those people who b*tch about having to pay for a plug-in - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. And for all of the research that went into this one, free ain't gonna cut it. So if you're serious about music, quit complaining an buy this!

I cant get it to work on SHOUTcast

Jan. 29th, 2006

Really good When I Use the MAD decoder but you probably know that MAD doesn't work well on stream music so I disable MAD and use the Nullsoft decoder but I wont get any sound unless I disable OZONEGet The Picture :(OTHERWISE A REALLY GOOD PLUGIN

Simply the BEST Winamp plugin!!!

Jan. 27th, 2006

After trying dozens of DSP plugins - and being disapointed with most of them - at last I found one that REALLY enhances your mp3 listening experience. Ozone emulates the good aspects of analog audio on your compressed music, making it sound full, deep, warm, airy and punchy in place of that thin and shallow digital sound. The difference is enormous and still you feel that's how it's supposed to sound, unlike many plugins that makes it all feel very artificial.The free version alone can greatly improve the sound of your pc speakers, earphones, etc, but the full software is so vastly configurable that besides allowing the user to tweak it perfectly to his needs, it is extremely addicting to mess around with as well! For those who prefer to just push play and enjoy, there are TONS of presets, for various music styles and - yes - lots of specific artists. Amazing, huh? In addition, you can assign presets to each of your songs. The guys at iZotope really thought of everything...My suggestion to everyone that demands the best is: BUY THE FULL VERSION NOW! Your ears will be eternally thankful and you'll wonder how in the world you could listen to music without this.

Worth every cent

Jan. 24th, 2006

This GREAT plug-in does what the ultimate goal of every music fan is - it makes WINAMP sound close to a real analog source.It relieves us from listening fatigue and makes us forget we are using a computer instead of a real Hi-Fi audio source.Everything we could ever wish for!
- Dragan Milunovic

Freekin' Awesome

Dec. 24th, 2005

After playing with the free version for only about half an hour I ordered the full version. This is production quality stuff, and at $19 (promo till 12/31/05) it can't be beat. I was absolutely amazed at what it did for the sound of the songs I tried it on, just using the default preset. And for those who are morally opposed to paying for winamp plugins, this is production quality stuff from a real company that has other signal processing products. It is great that there are many free plugins, but ya gets what ya pays for. This is the first plugin I've spent money for. Try the free version. The free presets alone may meet your needs, but this is one that I just couldn't pass up. When you pay, you get a package that supports winamp, windows media player and the qcd player, all for $19.
- Steven Quinlan

Amazing!!!

Sep. 20th, 2005

If you love music and actually know what you are doing, this is the plugin for you. Even though it uses quite a bit of system resouces, I bought the full version and it's one of the best computer related purchases I've ever made. The sound is so perfect when you can adjust the EQ, the room simulator, the lowest lows and where they cutoff and the entire mid section to add/decrease warmth and the final touch with a little bit of sparkle to add to the highs. If you don't have this plugin, you don't know what you are missing and if you do have it and don't love it, maybe you just need to buy it so you can actually see what it's capable of. Besides, for 29 dollars it's TOTALLY worth it!

oh my god

Sep. 7th, 2005

This Plug-In really rocks. And it keeps the things it promises. The Sound is not 100% like the sound of "real" valve equipment (I already built a hi-fi tube amp, but I don't use it because it has no protection fuses), but still it is the best Plug-In I ever tried.Shure E2c In-Ears Monitors: Superior Sound.Old Techinics Receiver (2x 8Ohm on one channel): Still superior sound.The distortions it creates are of a very low grade and not to strong/loud. Just lying in bed and listening to Nightwish and other interprets of the Metal/Gothic Metal Genre is very nice.I recommend good headphones, as the sound of headphones is usually clearer than the sound of stereos (my headphones are priced at 90?, but they are the "cheapest" versions of a series of musicians headphones. There are better headphones out there for less money but without the sound isolation I need).And finally: This Plug-In consumes quite much CPU Power, but its worth playing with worther graphics (a pun ^^)Sebastian

Finally!

Aug. 8th, 2005

A DSP plug-in that works!! I usually use the eq. and something like DFX or WOW Thing. I've never been able to get a good sound without at least the eq. and one of the others. Well! No more. This sounds GREAT! I turned everything off but this one and it sounds SO SWEET! I'll never need anything else!! Thank you for a free, GREAT, plug-in. Can't wait to upgrade to get all the adjustments available. But for everyone else, that's not even necessary!!! HIGHLY recommended! I registerd just to rate this! I've never rated any other, but I felt this definitely deserved it! GET IT! You won't be sorry. I'm using it on a P4 with 512MB Rambus RAM - no problems at all.

The freebie settings, I wish were more of. I use the extra wide sound along with winamp eq set on rock and get a good sound at only 48kbs. Worth checking out. Worth buying? Why shell out the bucks for something that works for free. Just my opinon. Regards, Jim
