So its like....Dear Customers
Sorry we tried to rip you off, we though you might have gone for it! Hey Ho- As you obviously are not that dumb, we will drop the price a bit to see if we get more nibbles, or you can just wait for the enviable 50% off upgrade sale and then new version in under a year with minor tweaks and another $300 upgrade cost.

Unless of course we just drop the product and stop updating- that can happen anytime, even with new and popular products.

Not to mention uninstalling Ozone 7 Advanced, if you installed it to a custom (not default) directory, can do something awful to your computer - atleast that's what I was told by iZotope.

Watched Sonicstate last night and they discussed O8.

Weirdly enough, rather than ranting they were still speaking positively of the new features.

I'm very happy the listened but finances, it's simply still too soon for such a fee. If i can sell my MP1 and/or MP2 I might consider it.

Most probably i'll pass until Ozone 9 arrive, if they want to make proper upgrade to MPB2 users, i jump right now. i dont need Rx and dont want to deal with two separate installation and MPB2 with O7N1 work very well, so see you in a year (or 2 or never) Izotope.

Meantime Elevate plugin get my attention...

I would consider if they guaranteed owners of MPB2 and the O8N2 bundle the same future upgrade path as owners of the new MPS.

$199 for MPB2 to the REAL Music Production Suite would have been more in the correct ballpark for the small upgrades the new Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 offer. And honestly $99-$149 is the correct price. They didn't add any new features that actually affect the audio...

I'm really a fan of Izotope as they make simple, yet very usable plugins like this. Too bad their support leaves something to be desired...

"you will be assimilated. Differences of opinions are irrelevant. Thinking of anything other than glowing reviews is irrelevant. You're distinct dollars will become part of our collective"

I think what I said was relevant. If you like it, fine. But it's irrational to keep harassing people that don't share your viewpoint.

I think you‘re unfair. The word „harassing“ is pretty overstated here.

I was initially irked at the pricing in general, but after demoing the plugs, I'm changed.

I owned Ozone 7 but ended up selling my MPB at the time. I felt like it was stuffed with old bloat I had little use for (Alloy, Nectar, Trash to a lesser degree). Also didn't like Neutron 1 enough to buy when it debuted.

Tonal Balance Control sucked me in though. That was an obvious benefit to me right away. I went with N2 Advanced and O8 Standard. I'm pretty thrilled with these tools. I also mix with lots of other Waves, FabFilter, IK, Slate, etc but this new iZotope is a welcome addition to my Toolbox.

Ozone 8 & Neutron 2 announced for October 2017
