Mixing tools and what is new in Neutron 5

The new Clipper module adds power while reclaiming headroom, with multiband options, oversampling and channel modes. The new Density module performs intelligent upward compression to add presence, detail and fullness. The new Phase module fixes asymmetrical waveforms and out-of-sync signals.

Mid/side and transient/sustain channel modes are available across the suite, so each module can target specific content. Delta buttons in every module let you hear how Neutron is affecting the mix.

Mix Assistant, Balance Assistant and reference matching

Mix Assistant uses machine learning to set a custom signal chain for your audio, and its Assistant View includes additional macro knobs for fine-tuning. Target Library lets you match the tone of a track to a sample or stem in real time.

Balance Assistant sets levels automatically using Relay on individual tracks and Visual Mixer on the master channel. Tonal Balance Control 2 meters your mix against tens of thousands of professional mixes. The suite also supports 7.1 surround and zero-latency mode in all seven modules.
