Hi folks.
It seems Izotope (or NI) Finally figured out CPU/resource leakage that was present in previous versions and was extremely intensive. Finally Ozone works great on my setup. I do like a few "modules" of advanced and I do like the fact that it has "assist" mode as it gives handy starting points.

However, I am a bit confused about the part where assistant listens/analyzes tune. It seems it is only doing this on a short, few second segment. How can it be even closely correct in assessment auditioning 3% random segment? I can understand how this can be true for simple 2-3 instrument song, but when you have a bunch of very different in dynamics things going in and out (like acoustic guitar and a synth for example), entering and exiting at different...I don't know. Can somebody (who knows) explain if I got this "listener" part wrong/right? Perhaps it's scanning whole tune at X speed?


Thank you!

P.S. I wanted to ask Izotope, but it seems they have a "login" issue that is already lasting for over a week.

You're supposed to select 30 seconds of the hottest point in the song.
My understanding is that's all it needs. I suppose you could try and select more, but I don't think it would even use it.

Thanks for the reply.
Well, this is exactly my concern. The "listening" part only takes about 7 seconds and it seems builds a suggestion chain upon that 7 seconds...
To do it reasonably, I would imagine an assistant needs to either analyze whole tune or at least 2-3 sections and come up with a common ground suggestion formula.
