To me, it became very tedious and difficult to keep track of all these different things showing up on different tracks, but for me, working it on the submix, maybe just two or three instances of it in my session, it became very useful. I didn’t really find that it was all that helpful when I did it on individual tracks, but you can try it out for yourself and see what you think. The vocals are going in this other buss, and to me, this ability to link things together really is helpful at this stage. I’ve got all of the music in this session going in here, except for the vocals. Now, some songs I’ll split it up even further, like having the drums, and the music, and the vocals, and that kind of thing, but for this demonstration, I think you’ll get the point if I just link it here on these two different submix busses. So in a typical session, the way that I’ll set it up is I’ll have a vocal buss and a music buss. I’ve been working with it for a little while, and trying to figure out what this new way of thinking about mixing and linking things together, how can I incorporate that in a useful way in my workflow? I’ve tried it out on individual tracks, different instruments, on bass and drums, and you know, guitars, all that kind of stuff, and where I really found the most utility for it is to use it on my submix busses. I’m going to demonstrate some of those things here in this video.

You have the ability to link parameters together. What’s unique about it is when you think of it not just as an individual plug-in for an individual track, but when you open multiple instances of it across your session. Neutron is probably more conventionally used in the mixing stage. Find similar kinds of tools in here that also show up in their other plug-ins, like Alloy, which is fantastic, and also Ozone, their flagship mastering processor.

I’ve got a demonstration for you of the Neutron plug-in from iZotope.Īs an individual plugin and processor, it’s very powerful.
