Subject:Ozone Upgrade

Does anybody know if there is an upgrade path to the new Ozone 4 for those of us using only the mastering package that came with Sound Forge 9? I've emailed Izotope but haven't heard anything yet.

Edit: End of story. Here's the official response from Izotope:

"The Mastering Effects bundle that comes with Sound Forge 9 was licensed directly to Sony and as such is not part of the Ozone family. Therefore there is no upgrade path."

Thank you for posting this.
I e-mailed Izotope about it long ago but never got a reply.
The Ozone 4 is looking good. I'm thinking about getting it
after seeing some of the reviews.
Anybody here get it yet?
Do you recommend it?

Just got it a few days ago. I'm not a sound engineer so I love the all the presets--many more than Ozone 3 (which I had only purchased a week earlier). Ozone 4 has six categories of presets. One category, Post and Broadcast, has 15 different presets. I used the "Voiceover-Loudness Maximizer" preset on a documentary which contains a variety and male and female voices. It really helped the voices punch through the music and raise the overall volume without clipping.

Really friendly interface too if I want to tweak any presets.

Along with Rx, which I use first to clean up location interviews, my work is sounding a whole lot better.

I can highly recommend both tools.
