Every now and then you come across a really useful product - iZotope's Alloy .Harmony Central state " It's a channel strip plug-in on steroids, sort of like Ozone but designed for tracks, not mastering/buses". The question is does the world need another channel strip?  iZotope's Site - http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/alloy/ states "What it needs is a better way of working with the essential tools you need for all of your tracks and busses.  That's why we designed Alloy. Alloy provides the key dynamics and sound shaping effects you'll use again and again, in a self-contained and completely configurable interface". I would agree with this statement and after trying a demo version of this, I have decided this is definately worth the purchase. I love the sound quality it gives to my tracks and the fact everything is there in one package - Equalizer, Dynamics, Exciter, De-Esser, Transient Shaper and Limiter - Great Stuff. It made my work a lot easier. Alloy has over 150 presets included covering individual instruments, ensembles, busses, utility tasks, broadcasting & podcasting, post production and more.  It has been designed to compliment Ozone rather than work against it and has zero latency. It is one of the best plug-ins out right now and will no doubt become another Industry- standard product.
