Use with Ozone 10: Match any master
Audiolens will automatically populate saved referenced targets to your Ozone 10 Target Library so you can visualize how your master stacks up to your chosen reference. Run the AI-powered Master Assistant to match the tone, dynamics, and width profiles of the desired track to your own master, and dial in additional adjustments using the Assistant View.

Use with Neutron 4: Intelligent mixing, faster
Audiolens will automatically populate saved reference targets to your Neutron 4 Target Library where they will be analyzed by Neutron’s Assistant. You can then quickly match characteristics within the mix of your own track, whether that’s adding some thump to your bass, crisping up your snare, or making hi-hats sizzle. Further customize your sound by using the Assistant View to dial in your mix elements.

About reference tracks
Producers and engineers use track referencing during music production, mixing, and mastering. Referencing is the process of comparing the dynamic range and character of your song to songs of a similar genre and style to your desired sound. A reference track's dynamic range and sonic character can be used to communicate the sound you’re aiming for in your mix or master. Reference tracks are also a way to develop musical vocabulary that will help communication when you're working on a song with other people.
