Hi:

I am about to buy Ozone 5 and am excited. I see that there are a lot of options for FX, aside from the many mastering presets and options. All the basic FX are there (EQ, reverb, compression, exciter, dynamics) -- but not a lot of the less-often used FX (flange, delay, chorus, etc.).

I have looked around the forum and elsewhere to see if folks are using these FX in Ozone as basic FX when they mix, and I can't see any discussion. The question is: Would there be any downside to using Ozone most of the time for it's basic FX while mixing? Would the size of the VST program, inserted on several tracks, eat up resources more than, say, basic PG or Classic FX? Could I see Ozone 5 as a sort of Swiss army knife for FX?

Thanks for any suggestions... I know some of you guys are very experienced in Ozone4 and 5.
