iZotope has announced the release of an update to its complete suite for crafting a professional mix. New features in Neutron 4 include the Assistant View, Unmask Module, reference matching with a new Target Library, Trash mode in the Exciter Module, and a Punch mode in the Compressor Module.
Designed to make crafting a professional mix easier and faster than ever before, Neutron 4 allows users to sculpt sounds seamlessly while staying in their creative flow. Eight powerful plug-ins combine forces through AI-powered assistive audio technology to create the most modern and intelligent mixing experience yet.
Neutron’s Mix Assistant is now modernized into the new Assistant View. Powered by machine learning, the new version listens as soon as you play audio, producing a reference starting point and taking you to an intelligent control center where you can perfect your sound. The new Unmask Module discovers and fixes masking issues for you by making space between two competing tracks, balancing bass and kick, or allowing vocals to shine over your mix. With the new Target Library, dynamically match the tone of your track to a sample or stem with assistive tone-matching technology. Neutron 4 also brings back a slice of the fan-favorite iZotope plug-in, Trash, allowing users to distort and destroy audio and discover new extremes.
Also included are utility plug-ins Visual Mixer and Relay to help plug-ins talk to each other, plus Tonal Balance Control 2 to view your levels as you mix. All plug-ins included with Neutron 4 feature Apple M1 native silicon compatibility.
