Use a High Pass Filter to Shape Low End
High-passing elements in your mix that compete with essential low-end instruments, like bass and kick, can bring focus and clarity to your low end. Learn how to use Neutron 2’s Masking Meter to make this process easy.
Achieve a Powerful Kick Sound
Set up dynamic nodes with Neutron 2’s EQ to make your kick explode through a crowded mix.
Add Transient Power to Snares
Learn how to use the Transient Shaper in Neutron 2 to push snare tracks to the forefront of a busy drum set.
Cut Through the Mix with Distortion
A health dose of saturation can take a mix element to the next level. In this example, we use Neutron 2’s Exciter module to excite our keys (accordion, organ, Rhodes), adding distortion to help cut through the mix.

Add Clarity and Presence to Vocals
Duplicate your lead vocal track and then use Neutron 2’s Track Assistant with settings of Upfront + High to give your vocal clarity and power.
Rein In Reverb
Dialing in the right amount of post-EQ within Nectar 2’s plate reverb will ensure your vocal gets some air but stays grounded to avoid intelligibility loss.
Instantly Process Vocal Ad-Libs
Learn how compression, harmonic saturation, band-passed EQ, and reverb help set the groundwork for any pro vocal ad-lib chain.
Mastering the Limiter
Limiters are a powerful tool in mixing and mastering, but with great power comes great responsibility. Learn how attack and release times impact a mix, and how to mitigate any unexpected harmonic artifacts that a limiter might generate with Ozone 8’s Maximizer.
