Improved interface: Smooth visualizations and a resizable interface.Visual Mixer & iZotope Relay: Launch Mix Assistant directly from Visual Mixer and move tracks in a virtual space, tapping into iZotope-enabled inter-plugin communication.Improved Masking Meter prevents tracks from stepping on each other and muddying the mix.New Sculptor module: Use iZotope spectral shaping to make instrument tracks sound more like themselves…or something else entirely.New Mix Assistant: choose a focal point for a mix and let Neutron 3 automatically set levels before you ever have to touch a fader.Sessions with multiple Neutrons open much quicker, and refresh rates for visualizations have doubled. Neutron 3 has also had a major overhaul in performance for faster processing and load times and smooth metering. In addition, Neutron 3 includes many new improvements and enhancements based on feedback from the community, including a redesigned Masking Meter that automatically flags masking issues and allows them to be fixed from a convenient one-window display. It also communicates with Track Assistant to understand each instrument and gives real-time feedback to help shape tracks to a target EQ curve, or experiment with new sounds. Sculptor works like a per-band army of compressors and EQs to shape any track. Sculptor is a new module (available in Neutron 3 Standard, and Advanced) for sweetening, fixing, and creative applications. “With machine learning, we’re helping everyone get to a great starting point for their mix, so they can stay focused on their creative input.” “Our customers are always finding innovative ways to use our Assistants to benefit their workflow and Mix Assistant is no different,” says iZotope Product Manager Dan Gonzalez.
IZotope has introduced Neutron 3, an update that they say is “designed to bring mix workflows into the 21st century”.
