Sculptor is a spectral shaping tool that looks quite simple but has a lot going on under the hood. The new addition we mentioned above is the Sculptor module. This can be great for enhancing the attack-specific sections of the spectrum, and particularly useful with entire tracks or for precise tweaking. With the learn function, as in other multiband modules, it can analyze the incoming audio material and split it into three bands. We can also choose the Envelope Mode, or the type of envelope since Precise, Balanced and Loose determine the recovery time between transients. Here we can adjust the Attack and Sustain for up to three bands. Many of the modules are capable of multiband processing, and while this is awesome for the Compressor and the Exciter, it is a true blast with the Transient Shaper. It would be very hard to go deeply into every module and every function provided by Neutron 3, so we will focus on the main aspects of Neutron and on the new features.Īs already seen, Neutron offers a complete set of tools for our mix, from Exciters and Transient Shapers to EQ, Compressor and the new Sculptor. For a detailed comparison between the various versions, please check this link: Neutron comes in three different versions, Elements, Standard and Advanced (the version I am reviewing), and the possibility to use modules as plug-ins is available only with the advanced version. The mothership can host all of them or just what we need here in fact we can arrange them, swap them and use a Limiter on the Output, or, if we just need a single section of Neutron, we can use the modules as single plug-ins. Neutron 3 provides everything we need in order to mix, enhance, or fix our single channels or entire tracks, as we will see. All of these will take the capabilities of Neutron to the next level for easier, more precise and more efficient mixes. New features include a brand new module, Sculptor (we’ll be on that later), a new look for the entire plug-in, a grown-up Masking Meter, the new Mix Assistant and enhanced performances with less CPU usage. iZotope Neutron 3 is a modular solution for mixing and mastering that offers seven different modules: Equalizer, two Compressors, an Exciter, Gate, the new Sculptor and the Transient Shaper (eight modules if we also include the visual mixer in the list).
