It is a Spectral Shaper, that in solo mode allows you to spot that problematic area by playing just the selected frequency range. It also offers a new tool that could be applied later, proving to be a lifesaver for situations when there is an issue with some harsh peaks that can appear in certain frequency ranges. Ozone instantly tamed some problematic areas that I had problems fixing myself, making for a more balanced master with a nice balance between low and high ends. It also proved to be a relief for my processor, having just one plug-in instead of all the others. I have invested quite a large amount of my time obtaining a few mastering skills, becoming better and better at it, being quite satisfied with the end results – that was until I tried Ozone 8 and got better results in just ten seconds, just by pressing the Master Assistant button, than I’ve had before with years of perfecting my masters skills with eight different plug-ins. While most of us might have some mixing skills, not to mention that surprisingly impressive number of musicians who even seem to be experts in the field, we should agree in any case that this is absolutely not the case with mastering.

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.
