Neutron 5 Upgrade from Neutron Elements or Elements Suite: Channel Strip Plugin by iZotope

The Clipper module adds peak control with multiband options, oversampling and channel modes, which iZotope says helps reclaim headroom. The Density module performs upward compression to add presence and fullness, and the Phase module corrects asymmetrical waveforms and out-of-sync signals.

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

Mix Assistant uses machine learning to build a custom signal chain for your audio, and you can refine it with additional macro knobs in the Assistant View. Balance Assistant sets levels across tracks using Relay on individual channels and Visual Mixer on the master channel.

Tonal Balance Control 2 meters your mix against tonal targets derived from professional mixes. Zero-latency mode and 7.1 surround support are available in all seven modules, and the interface is resizable.
