Hi All, I did start to reply to Bud before I saw the other comments so will follow up.
I think the cheapest edition of Ozone is around £100 /$129.
I did give it a test on the default setting using the Modern, Loud, & CD options, so it was very simple to use, which I like!
I also did 2 comparatives with Bandlab, one with no effects on the master and one with a bit of compression, both using the CD quality setting.
I have uploaded all 3 to the same link (
https://www.djhsongs.co.uk/bandlabtest) and to my ears there is very little difference between them. I think they all sound reasonably good and not sure I could choose a best version of the 3, I could possibly narrow it down to 2.
I think the more I progress then Ozone may become more suitable but Bandlab has been a good starting point for me.
Cheers,
David
