I've been contemplating an upgrade to 3.0. The new loudness maximizer algorithm and dithering system would probably be my primary reasons for upgrading. Any thoughts on these? How do you like them? They've been pretty favorable to my ears thus far.

I absolutely adore that intelligent limiter. Works very well for me. I've pushed it pretty hard too, with good results.

They work great for me! I never had a version of Ozone before ver 3....

I cannot really comment on the limiter (I have not used it much yet), but my sole reason for getting Ozone 3 is the dithering algorithm.

The dither is based on MegaBitMax MBIT+ and it is freakin' amazing. I have used other dithering algorithms found in other products (Cool Edit Pro/Audition, WaveLab, Sound Forge) and they are decent and good quality, but when I used the MBIT+ in Ozone 3, I realized that the upgrade cost is worth the price of the dither alone.
