Well, I have Ozone 3 & 4. I have auditioned some of their other offerings... Free 30 day trials etc.... and really, after that, I decided spending the money to buy the other products was not really necessary. I can get good results for instruments and vocals with that one product.

For the most part, you can accomplish your stated goals, producing a polished mix for Broadcast Quality recordings with the default plug ins in your DAW. However, using Ozone makes it a bit easier because they have some nice presets ready to go. Just tweeze them a bit and you're all set.

As for me, I tend to use the same presets in Ozone. I have created a few tweezed presets and saved them for male vox, female vox, acoustic guitar, drums/bass, and master mix. It's rare that they get used from their default preset even though I tweeked them.... each song is slightly different but the presets get me there quicker.

I'd recommend buying the latest version of Ozone and use it to see how it does before you consider buying the other products. Learn Ozone first.
