iZotope goes with Neutron into the third round and offers with the standard version a further improved and expanded software for mixing applications in every genre. On board are classic plugins like EQ, compressor, gate, exciter, limiter, but also the new Sculptor, which offers spectral shaping to emphasize certain characteristics of the used instrument or to make it sound completely different. Also adopted would be the extremely helpful Masking Meter, which detects and highlights frequency overlaps of different instruments - allowing problematic resonances to be fixed and mixes to be balanced.
The modular use in the signal chain, as well as mix controls for changing the intensity of the respective plug-ins make it very easy to make small changes to the sound and test which tool works best for you at which point. Because you have full control over every parameter at all times, Neutron 3Standard is great for inspiration,assistance and learning new approaches to mixing.
Here's a quick summary of all the important features:
Enhance your audio:
The new Sculptor module works with Spectral Shaping to make your instruments sound more like themselves...or something completely different!
Improved Masking Meter:
Frequencies of multiple instruments are now detected more accurately, allowing you to work in a more targeted manner. Resonances caused by overlapping frequencies are now easier to fix.
Visual Mixer & iZotope Relay:
Start the mix wizard directly from the Visual Mixer and move your tracks in a virtual room - the slightly different way to mix! The keyword here is inter-plugin communication: All plugins communicate with each other and can be used in combination to harmonize better.
Track Assistant
The Track Assistant listens to your audio signal and creates a custom Preset for you. This makes it easier to get started or find inspiration.
8 plug-ins combined:
The modular plug-ins in Neutron 3 can be changed at will in the signal chain. This includes the EQ with the new Soft Saturation mode, the Transient Shaper, two compressors, a gate, din Exciter and Limiter as well as the new Sculptor module.
Other
Beautiful, fluid visualizations and a scalable interface make for a more pleasant workflow in every respect.
Work faster thanks to significant improvements in overall performance: focus on the things that matter - slowdowns and freezing are now a thing of the past.
