Neutron 4

Introducing Neutron 4 from iZotope, the experts in intelligent audio technology.

Mix smarter and faster with Neutron 4 your complete suite for crafting a professional mix.

Eight powerful plugins combine forces through AI-powered assistive audio technology to create the most modern and intelligent mixing experience

Assistant View – Mix in the moment.

Neutron’s beloved AI powered audio Assistant is now modernized into the new Assistant View, your intelligent control center that produces fast, personalized results. Powered by machine learning, the Assistant View starts listening as soon as you play audio, producing a reference starting point and taking you to an intelligent control center where you can use the Intent Controls to make big sonic improvements. Dial in punch, distortion and width to taste before jumping into the Detail View to fine tune. This is your Mix Assistant, but even faster and more flexible.

Target Library – Magically match references.

Match references in real time. Like magic. Dynamically match the tone of your track to a sample or stem using the new Target Library with tone matching technology. Communicate your intent to Neutron by loading stem references into your Target Library to enable the Assistant to match your drums, bass, guitar, vocal, or audio track to the sound you are going for. Borrow from our presets, or build your own with stems, sounds, and acapellas for every situation.

Unmask Module – Make space.

Neutron 4 discovers and fixes masking issues for you, enabling you to reach new levels of clarity. The new Unmask Module makes space between two competing tracks, balancing your bass and kick or allowing vocals to shine over your mix. Unmask from a track or bus in your DAW, then adjust levels to reach your optimal balance. It’s simple to set up and fixes muddy mixes in seconds.

Trash Mode (In Exciter Module) – Distort responsibly. Or not.

A slice of fan favorite Trash is now in Neutron 4. Distort and destroy sounds with Trash Mode allowing you to discover new extremes by blending between different textures. Curate character changes with the new Tone Slider to explore the boundaries of weird and wild. Distort responsibly with the Tame button to preserve dynamic expression as you destroy.

Punch Mode (in Compressor Module) – Punch it up.

Make an impact using the new Punch Mode to control and visualize how hard your sounds hit. Add more thump, punch or snap to breathe life into vocals, percussion, bass, and more. Choose from Punch Mode, Modern Mode or Vintage Mode to easily manipulate microdynamics.
