Berlin, Germany (September 11, 2023)—Native Instruments has brought together some of the ‘greatest hits’ of its various plug-in brands to create Music Production Suite 6. The bundle gathers together 30-plus plug-ins across NI, iZotope, and Brainworx product lines, including new versions of Ozone, Nectar, and Guitar Rig.
The bundle is intended to address the recording process from end to end, with plug-ins to be used for various steps along the way.
Ozone 11 Advanced sports new features with a goal of making it a mastering toolkit for artists and audio professionals alike. The new Clarity Module is said to improve the spectral power of tracks, while Stem Focus uses AI to address problematic mixes by applying Ozone settings to isolated stems within the mix.
