So it proves to be a win-win situation for all of us, for pro and con musicians (at least sometimes I get that impression by doing the exact opposite of what I should do during the mixing process).

According to some other reviews, it is a great tool even for skilled mixing engineers, giving them an instant stating point, saving them some time that they would have otherwise needed to tweak all those compressor, equalizer and exciter parameters manually. Neutron really helped me improve my mixing skills, not just by doing most of the job for me, but also showing me how some instruments should be improved and by comparing my previous mixing attempts with automated ones, and finally showing me where my weak points are.

Izotope have made this “mixing engineer in a box” tool even better than it was, no matter that it seemed almost perfect in the first version.Īs I pointed out in my Neutron review last year, I have never been much of a mixing engineer, struggling with my mixes for a long, long time. I was positively surprised with the new Neutron 2, as they have added some really cool new features while tweaking all the things users complained about in the first one. At the same time, Neutron seemed so complete that I was sure there would be no new version anytime soon. Actually, while covering the first version of Neutron, I knew that it was only a matter of time before a similar function would be implemented in Ozone. I have already written about previous versions of Neutron and Ozone, mixing and mastering tools that can make your life as a musician somewhat easier.

Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 can make a lot of productions work for you, making your life much easier. A new best friend for every music producer – actually, for every musician.
