Description

The iZotope Mix & Master Bundle (Standard) offers two pieces of software for pro audio applications. Neutron 3 Standard offers a complete channel strip for your individual tracks, including an equalizer, a compressor, an exciter, a new Sculptor module, a gate, and more. It also gives you a Track Assistant that comes up with custom channel strip settings for each of your tracks.

Also included is Ozone 8 Advanced to help you master your tracks with all the tools you need for mastering. EQ, compression, widening tools, and other modules tailored for mastering are on hand, as is a Master Assistant that aims to give you a loudness and tonal starting point for your individual tracks.

Both pieces of software are compatible with Mac and Windows platforms. They can operate in AU, VST, and AAX formats.

iZotope Neutron 3 Standard – Channel Strip Software with Track Assistant for Pro Audio Applications (Download)

Neutron 3 Standard represents the next step forward in iZotope‘s channel-strip plug-ins. As with previous iterations, you get an equalizer, a compressor, a transient shaper, an exciter, and other goodies from Neutron 2. But iZotope has brought a new module into the mix as well—a sweetening, tone-shaping module called Sculptor.

The modules offered in version 2 have been optimized to take as little CPU as possible. The GUI has seen an overhaul with a resizeable window as well as visualizations that provide improved sliders from Version 2. The Masking Meter, which helps you identify and fix competing frequencies between two tracks, is now elegantly compacted into one, easy-to-understand window, with essential parameters like inverse link more readily available.

The most prominent additions to Neutron Standard is Sculptor. This module applies a comprehensive EQ, one that fluctuates in real-time, reacting to the track as it plays. It makes multiple dynamic choices per second. Use it to add both final polish and a creative emphasis to any track.

Neutron 3 Standard is compatible with Mac and Windows computers and is available for download. It works in AU, AAX, and VST formats.

Key Features at a Glance

Sculptor Module

Select a desired style from the menu, and the algorithm shapes the tone to achieve an ideal balance for that instrument. Change the speed at which the process is applied, or to change the overall tonality, highs, or lows. You can even set filter points, stopping all processing below or above your desired frequency. This can be useful for sculpting just the midrange of track, or for excluding the treble to obviate any undue harshness.

Improved Masking Meter

With a convenient one-window display and smoother metering with more obvious parameters, the Masking Meter is now even better at helping you find and fix the competing elements of your mix.

Optimized Performance

Insert more instances of Neutron in your session, open sessions faster, and forget about bouncing sessions for overdubs. Not only is Neutron faster at processing your audio, but your sessions with multiple Neutrons will open faster with refresh rates doubled for visualizations.

Other Features at a Glance

  • Visual Mixer & iZotope Relay: Launch Mix Assistant directly from Visual Mixer and move your tracks in a virtual space, tapping into iZotope-enabled inter-plugin communication.
  • New EQ Functionality: EQ now has a Soft Saturation mode for a more analog feel and sound.

iZotope Ozone 8 Standard Mastering Software (Full Version, Download)

Available for download, iZotope Ozone 8 Standard is software designed for mastering music, providing many modules for the task. The software builds upon the offerings of previous iterations with visual improvements, tweaks to algorithms under the hood, a handy Master Assistant control, and much more. Aside from workflow improvements, the creative elements of mastering continue to be pushed front and center in this version, allowing you to create masters of your music in an intuitive, user-friendly manner.

A major feature is the new Master Assistant that walks you through the process. For example, when you select this task, the assistant asks you, “What are you going for?” And you are offered a choice of targets: Streaming—for online platforms as such as Spotify and iTunes Radio; CD—for louder masters optimized for the compact disc; and References—which allow you to target a specific example of your own selection and match it for tonal consistency and levels.

After the algorithm listens to a portion of your song, intelligent settings for equalization, compression, loudness, and dynamic EQ are dialed in. These aren’t cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all presets—instead, you’ll notice subtler implementations, such as EQ shelves applied only when needed, or dynamic equalization to reduce artifacts in the limiting stage. If the algorithm decides your mix doesn’t need compression to achieve your desired target, none is applied.

Another useful tool is intelligent track referencing, which allows you to import up to ten reference tracks and compare your master against them equally. This gives you the ability to create markers within the reference to use as looping points. A gain slider lets you level-match your master with the reference track right inside the plug-in. Such features render many third-party referencing plug-ins redundant as they are incorporated within Ozone 8 itself. They are also useful for creating cohesive albums. You can master one track to taste, and then use that track as a master for level and frequency comparison.

Changes have been made to Ozone’s popular IRC IV algorithm in the Maximizer module to promote low-latency implementation and improve the low-end response to the limiter. This results in smoother limiting with fewer artifacts. Within the maximizer is a Stereo Independence section with separate sliders for transients and sustain so you can tweak how the maximizer reacts to stereo information in a more precise manner. Global, interdependent steps make Ozone part of an ecosystem. Using Tonal Balance Control, you are provided with interplugin communication to bridge the EQ across the Ozone 8 Equalizer and Post Equilizer modules, and Neuron 2 EQ modules.

Usable both as a standalone application and as a plug-in with a supported host, this software is compatible with Windows and Mac platforms. It can operate in AAX, RTAS, VST 2, VST 3, and AudioUnit formats.
