Yes, Ozone is the first tool I started using that allowed me to get whatever degree of compression and EQ that was lacking when I compared my music to commercial recordings. It was the single biggest change in my recordings, ever, until very recently (some other tools I like). A side benefit is Izotope has a GREAT guide to mastering on their site. A must read.
