iZotope Neutron

Neutron is iZotope's mixing plug-in, now at version 5, bundling ten processing modules for music producers and engineers. Its Mix Assistant listens to your tracks and proposes starting levels and settings that you then fine-tune by hand.

The modules cover equalization, compression, transient shaping, saturation and other common mixing tasks inside one plug-in window. Machine learning features such as the assistant and masking detection point out where instruments clash and suggest a balance, so beginners get a usable rough mix and experienced engineers save setup time.

Neutron loads as a plug-in inside digital audio workstations rather than as a standalone editor. It is sold on its own and as part of iZotope bundles and subscriptions alongside Ozone and Nectar, and a free trial is offered.
