Neutron 2 is a huge upgrade to iZotope’s already revolutionary mixing suite, providing yet more innovative tools to help producers achieve incredible-sounding mixes. On this course by accomplished DJ producer and music educator Joshua Casper, you’ll discover the many ways to use Neutron to achieve mixing perfection!

Focusing on the Visual Mixer initially, Joshua shows how it can be used to mix all the individual channels in a project from one UI window, with quick and easy access to panning, levels and even stereo width for each. He also gives a detailed explanation of Tonal Balance Control, showing how to use target EQ curves from reference tracks to get exactly the mix you’re after.

In addition to tutorials that go through each part of the software, there is also a large segment of the course dedicated to using Neutron 2 to mix a track from start to finish, so every student can learn precisely how to put knowledge into practice in a real life mixing example. Each enrolled student has access to the multi-tracked stems of the track mixed in the course, as well as 10 bonus presets for Neutron 2, supplying not only the necessary knowledge but also extra materials to ensure the course delivers everything needed to produce an outstanding mix.
