Question

Ozone 8 and AA CC

As a long-time user of iZotope Ozone I yesterday received the message that Ozone 8 is now released.  I have downloaded the trial version and installed it.  I did notice that the product page does not list AA as being a compatible host.  However, the installation appeared to proceed "normally" and an initial use of it within AA CC 10.1.1.11 showed both the VST and VST3 versions to be listed and hence, presumably, available.

However, I have opened AA this morning and ALL the Ozone 8 VST3s are no longer listed.  To be clear, all the VST modules seem to be present but not the VST3s.  I guess this question is aimed primarily at SteveG or ryclark, but does anyone know why this should be?  As a matter of interest, also, is there any "obvious" reason why Ozone 8 should not be compatible with AA, given that every prior version of Ozone that I have owned/used has worked flawlessly in various versions of AA?

TIA.

The files that are producing this error are:

Dvaaudiofilterhostui. dll

Dvaaudiofilterhost. dll

Replacing them with a previous version fixes the problem.

and recognizes all VST3 plugins.

This error also occurs in Adobe Premiere,

And it is solved in the same way

The location of the files are

In the folder where the program is installed

I don't use any iZotope effects normally (except RX). But just installed the Ozone 8 demo and both versions seems to work OK immediately after installation so far. Will double check again tomorrow after my PC has been rebooted.

It works fine here too, and has a few interesting new things in it...

Will it run for you as a standalone?

I'm resurrecting this thread because, although the repeated scanning for plug ins within AA CC did restore (and maintain, so far) connection to all the VST and VST3 modules, I also raised the matter with iZotope Customer Service.  Their reply is below:

As you are aware, Adobe Audition is no longer a supported host for Ozone 8. Due to updates made to Ozone 8’s code and DSP engine, communication issues between Ozone 8 and Adobe Audition have arisen. This is likely the cause of the numeration issues you’ve reported. While you may be able to achieve partial functionality, the product’s behavior and performance will likely be unstable and unpredictable. For these reasons, iZotope cannot provide support for this workflow.

I am aware that Audition is, rightly, pretty "picky" about requiring VSTs and, presumably, VST3s, to adhere very closely to the Steinberg specification but "updates to Ozone's code and DSP engine" which creates "communication issues"...???

I'd be very interested to hear comments from other users and, especially, the devs about this, particularly since AA includes "modules" originally created by and licensed from iZotope.


Very strange. It's all worked fine here as a plugin, and I'm not aware of any comments from 'elsewhere' within iZotope about this either...

Will do a little checking, when I get a chance.
