Product description Available for download, iZotope Neutron 2 is a channel-strip plug-in designed for mixing music and audio-post production. Like its predecessor, Neutron 2 provides a compressor, equalizer, exciter, transient shaper, and a limiter, as well as the frequency-masking meter and the track-assistant feature. Many of these features have been improved upon, and several new elements have been introduced to make your mixing session a more intuitive and gratifying enterprise.Take the new Visual Mixer, for instance. This separate module included with the plug-in gives you a visual picture of your mix; any element you process with Neutron 2 can be manipulated across this visual plane, which gives you a graphical indicator not unlike an XY matrix. Move a track from the left to the right, and you are essentially panning that track from the left to the right. Move the track up and down and dictate its overall level within the visual framework. Each element represented in this pictorial overlay is encapsulated in a sort of bubble; grab the handles of this bubble and pull it outwards or inwards to manipulate its overall stereo width. This tool is meant to benefit Neutron as an ecosystem, promoting integration between tracks boasting Neutron, and allowing you to position them without navigating through windows, fader banks, and other potential hindrances.In addition to the UI improvements, which include a more intuitive layout—making features like the masking meter easier to use—Neutron 2 has also improved many of the machine-learning algorithms which made the original Neutron handy in the first place; the track assistant, for instance, now allows you to set ratios, thresholds, and time constants for the dynamic processes. The functionality of the exciter has been expanded as well. Now you can set the drive and blend of the harmonic distortion when it analyzes your track.Track Assistant also gives you a range of potential options for its custom-created presets. When you first turn it on, a menu asks you what style options you'd like (balanced, warm, and upfront) as well as intensity choices (low, medium, and high). You can tell the algorithm what the instrument is or choose auto-detect. If you choose auto-detect, a new detection mode is implemented to identify the instrument (pianos, for example). Instrument and dialogue detection have also been improved. When Track Assistant is finished processing, it gives you the ability to accept or reject the custom-created channel setting.Another new module is a multiband noise gate with hysteresis. It has musical controls for eliminating unwanted, extraneous signals in a natural manner. You’ll find a soft-saturation option attached to the equalizer, two different multiband compressors, the exciter and transient shaper, and a low-latency true-peak limiter.Utility options abound that improve the work-flow. All multiband processors can be switched into single-band, and controls below the I/O section allow you to monitor in mono, flip the polarity to affect stereo panning, increase the width on both the left and right channels, and swap left/right channels as desired. Below the utility controls, you’ll find the Neutrino section, which helps you maintain the clarity, focus, and separation of individual tracks across your mix by means of three controls. This software is compatible with Windows and Mac platforms. It can operate in AAX, RTAS, VST 3, VST 3, and AU formats. Key Features at a Glance - Improved Track Assistant
