#IZOTOPE NEUTRON MIXING SOFTWARE#

The software has been optimised to help minimise CPU load and to speed up graphic redraws, but if your session is already close to the edge, running a Mix Assistant balance analysis might just push it over. Nevertheless, there are still so many 'moving parts' that referring to the various tutorial videos can save a lot of time when scaling the learning curve. While the machine-learning technology used behind the scenes must be seriously advanced, iZotope have put a great deal of effort into keeping the user interface as straightforward as possible, with on-screen prompts to help you follow the correct workflow.

Like earlier versions, Neutron 3 can pinpoint masking issues, as well as suggesting suitable processing for individual tracks and for sweetening the overall mix - but it goes further than they did, thanks to a new automatic Mix Assistant (only included in the Advanced version), which can help establish an initial balance for a stereo mix. If you're not already familiar with Neutron, it's worth checking out SOS's reviews of versions 1 (January 2017) and 2 (May 2018) for a complete overview. IZotope's Neutron is a suite of mixing and mastering plug-ins with a difference, the difference being the use of artificial intelligence to help you make decisions about what processing to apply. IZotope's AI-based plug-in suite grows ever more intelligent with the addition of an automated mix-balancing tool. The new Mix Assistant's Balance process assigns all of your tracks to one of five categories and automatically adjusts their levels within those categories: you can then change the overall mix balance using just five faders.
