Your new flexible, fully-equipped mixing suite
Meet Neutron 5 – featuring three brand-new plugins, a faster and smarter Mix Assistant, Mid/Side and Transient/Sustain modes, and much more. Whether it’s your first mix or your next big hit, Neutron delivers world-class quality every time.
Achieve the mix you're imagining
Neutron 5 is your all-in-one mixing suite, featuring 11 powerful plugins – a mothership and 10 component modules. Sculpt your sound with component plugins individually or combine them in the mothership for ultimate control. Plus, streamline your mix with Visual Mixer, Relay, and Tonal Balance Control 2.
Watch what’s new in Neutron 5 here.
NEW: Clipper
Add power while reclaiming headroom. Clipper is feature-packed with unparalleled flexibility for intuitive soft clipping across multiple bands, mid/side channels, and transient/sustain content.
NEW: Density
Keep your key elements pinned upfront in the mix. This surgical upward compressor effortlessly smooths out dynamics, giving your audio more presence, detail, and fullness.
NEW: Phase
Out-of-sync signals sound weak and empty, and asymmetrical waveforms eat up headroom. Phase analyzes asymmetry within a single signal and identifies phase issues with other tracks in seconds, offering tools and visualizations to fine-tune as you need.
IMPROVED: Mix Assistant
Now it’s easier than ever to find a great starting point for your mix. Just run the AI-powered Assistant to create a custom signal chain for your audio, then refine your sound with professional instrument profiles (or your own references) and easy macro controls.
Module Channel modes
Take your mixes to new creative heights. Precisely target your processing with new levels of ease and control using Transient/Sustain and Mid/Side channel modes.
Transient/Sustain mode
Apply module processing to either transient or sustained content. For example, add power to your bass plucks without touching any drawn-out notes with Clipper.
Mid/Side mode
Apply module processing to either the middle or sides of the stereo field. For example, apply the Transient Shaper to only the sides of your drum bus for hits that pulse into the wide parts of your stereo image.
Plus tons more
Hear the difference with new Delta Buttons in every module and make more informed mixing decisions. See the difference and dial in your settings confidently with clearer and more intuitive metering and visualizations. And mix in style with an improved interface, featuring updated controls and improvements to the Assistant View.

"Neutron 4 is absolute genius. I’ve never used Neutron before but that’s an outdated statement now."
Greg Wells, Producer/mixer/songwriter/musician (Adele, The Greatest Showman, John Legend)
"Neutron is that rare, supportive, and reliable friend that encourages you to dive deep, explore new boundaries, and will ultimately bring out the best in you."
Michael Kamerman, Guitarist/vocalist (Smallpools)
"Neutron is the one-stop shop for every possible audio processing need you might have. Neutron is the 'channel strip' of the future."
Martin Nessi, GRAMMY-winning producer (Ricky Martin)
"Transient design, compression, EQ, and harmonic distortion, all wrapped up in one ridiculous sounding package. iZotope, you have done it again."
Darrell Thorp, GRAMMY-winning mix engineer (M83, Radiohead, Beck)
"Neutron 4 is one of the best new plugins I’ve used in a while!! Completely blown away. Especially by the exciter upgrades."
