Hi Folks,
I thought someone out here could tell me off the top of their heads if Ozone uses a Peak or RMS detector in their compressor and limiter. I think knowing how the tool listens will help me put the right tool on the right job.
If no one knows I'll ask the support guy. I happen to have his email but it's not because I can break this thing - and I've really tried!:)
Thanks,
kylen
ps I specified Izotope in the subject because there's a key-board controller called Ozone out there now too. Also research on this one is tricky - you can imagine what you find doing an Ozone Detector search! I didn't find the info in the Ozone Mastering manual either...

I heard back from Izotope about Ozone. They say that the detector most resembles a Peak type of detector more than rms or averaging which was my guess.
I've asked them if they plan to investigate the use of rms or averaging or getting somewhat further down the crest a bit. Getting down under the Peaks allows you to compress full mixes and whatnot a little better, more musically they say. Of course you can fool the peak compressor a bit by lowering the threshold and opening the attack up so you are moving towards the averag/rms zone. But now you've bypassed the detector... the compressor isn't listening to the same thing you're tying to adjust.
This isn't an Ozone issue of course, it's using a Peak compressor to do an rms compressors job.
Maybe if Erik stops by he can fill in more details - he's been here before.
