iZotope Neutron 3 Advanced (Mac & win)

From the makers of Ozone and RX, Neutron 3 will bring your mixes into the 21st century. Work faster than ever with better performance, new interactive visualizations, and Mix Assistant, which automatically sets levels across your session.

iZotope keep pushing the boundaries of machine learning with version 3 of Neutron. A complete engine overhaul means faster analyzing, bigger track capabilities, and more powerful components. This all-in-one solution fits perfectly with any skill level. From the musician who doesn’t want technical boundaries to the seasoned engineer who wants fine tuned controls in one window, Neutron 3 has it all.

With Neutron 3, iZotope has introduced machine learning into the mixing game. The brand touts the new Mix Assistant, exclusive to Advanced, as the first-ever plug-in that listens to your project and communicates with each track in the mix. The purpose of this analytical listening is to help you find a starting balance, which will form the foundation of your mix. The plug-in even lets you select which tracks you want to be the focus of your mix and is made to work with instrumentals and vocal-centred music.

The new Sculptor plug-in, available in both Standard and Advanced versions, is designed to sweeten the sound of your instrument tracks. iZotope likens its function to a “per-band army of compressors and EQs” dedicated to shaping your track. Sculptor uses machine learning and custom DSP to craft a “custom preset” for each track. It also arms you with 25 different instrument profiles that can transform each instrument into a “new version of itself”, according to the brand.

 iZotope Neutron 3 Advanced has 4 different ‘Assistants’ 

1. The New Mix Assistant which enables you to be able to choose a focal point for a mix and let Neutron 3 Advanced automatically set levels before you ever have to touch a fader.
2. An enhanced Track Assistant that listens to your audio and creates a custom preset for you based on what it hears.
3. The Visual Mixer from which you can also launch Mix Assistant and move tracks in a virtual space, tapping into iZotope-enabled inter-plugin communication.
4. A new Sculptor Module that uses iZotope spectral shaping to make instrument tracks sound more like themselves…or something else entirely.
