Anyone know if a video or link somewhere that explains the Exciter and what it is indepth? For that matter, are there resources explaining indepth, all of the plugins? (Sculptor, Compressor, etc.)?
Hello !! Great Video , I have a question about the processing after running the Mix balance , you stated not move the fader because the static mix as been done , but after you process the kick drum , the bass neutron added 2 db on each of the track is that normal ? or do we need to match the in and out of the plugins ?
Please please, Before/After bypassing, don't stop the music and say " here's after the bypass"! Sometimes the changes are so subtle that it is impossible to detect them. Just click bypass, and we'll hear the differences much more clearly. Thanks for the video!
this is something I see in so many youtube tutorials and it bugs me out so much, if im trying to hear this subtle changes, please dont stop it because by doing that, youre resetting my ears and idk what im listening for anymore
Hearing those differences is much more easier than hearing the vocal track. I watched this video once and i can hear everything, and understand everything about those plugins, but after I watched this and other izotope videos couple times since released to show it to my friends and to remember some stuffs, I still don't get what the rapper said except the "like that", "What" and those weird adlibs. lol
Every time I learn something with iZotope, the man who mixes my songs says that every time he sees me less. After this tutorial I think he will not see me anymore. Thanks!
These videos are great for learning to use izotope products in the way izotope envisioned them to be used. I gotta say there is a lack of tutorials out there for your awesome products and the more videos like this will help your sales as well as unravel the mystery of properly using plug-ins like Neutron 3 while showing there pure capabilities. Thanks!
Stating the journey of becoming a better mix engineer and I'm always intrigued to Izotope's products. This is the video I needed. Thank you for this tutorial!
I just bought Neutron 3 Adv today. I have to say... This tutorial is mind-blowing. I've learnt an incredible amount from this. Masking and tonal balance is really going to help my mix, now that I have this video to guide me through the mine field of buttons, knobs and terminologies inside the iZotope Universe. Thank you!
I'm a rock multi instrumentalist / songwriter recording in Reason 10, & I've studied this remarkable video twice now all the way thru, & find the information invaluable. I love my iZotope plugs more than ever! Thank you.
The best end-to-end mixing tutorials I have seen! Even if you don't have Izotope product suite it's an education in gain staging, EQ sculpture, compression and tonal balance process. Thank you.
I am incredibly humbled and shocked by how well done and beautiful this tutorial has been. This single tutorial with 3 years of on and off mixing has taught me an abundance of knowledge that I have been missing. All hail Izotope!!!
This is one of the most engaging mixing tutorials I have ever seen. Fantastic presentation and such a wonderful bank of terminologies that makes sense.
Simple but effective processes go a long way all thanks to these guys leading the way. What I love about it is that it saves me time as an artist having to worry about taking loads of time on the final mix and getting back to what I want to do is the music.
I watched and paused and studied and upgraded from standard to advanced to get this right. I'm so glad I paid attention because I got a chance to see what how when and why. I can't wait to continue to understand how to tame all my work to a better understanding on how decisions turn into better sound.
The best part of this video is the well-defined approach. I demoed Neutron and was a bit confused by the whole relay signal flow. This demonstration helped drastically with my understanding of how the plugins interact with each other. The music production suite requires you to approach a mix a bit differently because of the change in signal flow, but I can see how if you become familiarized you can BLAZE through mixing. It seems to me that speed is the most tangible benefit to this system. Great Video, This format is Mega-Helpful.
I've been working with the Production Suite for a few months, but this excellent video gave me very important and very useful insights. Thank you for this detailed tutorial, by the way, with a commentator that is very suitable for this task. I don't want to leave that unmentioned. Greetings from Germany
Outstanding tutorial. Would love to see a similar tutorial for another completely different music genre such as country or generally acoustic instruments. However, I expect the application will be very similar. 👌
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. I have a question : As an electronic music producer we often tend to balance the levels of our tracks along with adding effects on our way. Should we bypass everything and set the gain back to 0 before exporting our stems for the mix session and let Neutron do everything ?
Great question. When I’m producing tech house o usually do a basic mix during production (fader volume, panning, basic compression) can I keep doing that before exporting stems?
You guys are .. just wonderful. Such helpful content. I really mean it. It warms my heart. I know your endgame is to win consumer trust with all this incredible content and you've fucking done it lol what a wonderful company. Keep doin u
I just stated using the visual mixer after years of having it. I love it so far. The only thing I have trouble with is accidentally panning while trying to mix volume. Holding shift works to keep it centered but it would be great, instead if you could also adjust volume with mouse wheel/trackpad on whatever is selected, while holding shift+mouse wheel adjusts the stereo image. Or the ability to lock panning or volume to focus on either or.
This was incredibly helpful, I've been doing a bit with Ozone 9 here and there, not realizing the impact of Relay and Neutron. I'm starting over! Knowledge is power! Please update this video (or make a new improved one!) with Ozone 9 and all the other improvements. Thanks again for this!
izotope should make some hardware controller/mixers that integrate with these plugins. I think that would be cool to have a bunch of faders and knobs to switch between individual relay balances or entire group balances and plugins. It would give you users something to experience hands on mixing. It's so much better than a mouse.
I know I'm late to the party but this is good. Note. To make this work with the vocals, you need a solid professional recorded vocal. I tried this with some vocals that I recorded in a not so good treated room. Made the vocals sound worse.
Absolutely brilliant...Geoff is a natural! Does anyone know if a later version of this video has been produced to incorporate the updated version of the products used as of April 2023. This video is fantastic...I just wonder if there is an update...thanks Geoff...much appreciated over here in the UK...Oh...one more thing, do you ever do videos that use Ableton Live 11 Suite...if not we Ableton users would really like that!!
This what I want to know. This is amazing and will definitely get people going but there needs to be an updated one with the new suite. This one is like 4 years old.
Excellent video and presentation. You explain very well and in a nice way your every move in the mixture without any questions arising what and how and above all how to use Neutron and Ozone. As long as anyone watching the video already has some basic knowledge.
👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻 I‘ve just purchased Nectar 3 and Neutron 3 (a few months ago Ozon 9) and now I get this perfect tutorial. It‘s like Christmas and Easter together, (as we sometimes say here in Austria, when sth. wonderful has happened). Nothing better could have happened to me concerning mixing (as I use Logic too). Thanks so much for this perfect tutorial for neutron 3 and nectar 3. I didn‘t watch it to the end so far which of course I‘ll do while mixing my 2nd song ... Question: Is there also a Tutorial like this for Ozone 9?
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I've been using iZotope plugins for about 4 years, and just upgraded to these newer versions for Black Friday. I never took much advantage of the ML aspect, but I'm excited to mix my next song using the assistants and see how much it can help!
I'm on the fence right now. Just discovered Izotope a few days ago, and was considering the Holiday Bundle (Elements). But after discovering Music Production Suite 4, I'm really trying to resist getting it coz I didn't plan on spending that much. Plus I'm also thinking if they might have some more price drops for this, since Izotope said that they'll have a few more sale promos until January. What do you think, should I jump in now?
@@JonMorlow I'm seeing MPS 4 on eBay for $350. (I bought my original Music Production Bundle 2 on eBay. You have to be careful not to get a ripped copy obviously, but in general they just send you a license code, same as any other retailer.) If you want everything in that bundle, seems like a pretty good price.. If you only want certain items you might be able to find something cheaper though. I personally wasn't interested in the more creative FX stuff because I already have a lot of those types of plugins from elsewhere, so I just did the Tonal Balance Bundle upgrade from $130 from audiodeluxe.
In fact.. if you only want the Tonal Balance stuff, (and you don't own any iZotope products,) it looks like you can get the holiday bundle, then the Tonal Balance Bundle Crossgrade. That would be $250, and save an extra %15 on audiodeluxe. Not bad!
@@cristinahawke OMG. Thank you! There are 2 sellers, both with good reviews, and 1 is even a top seller. Is this real???? It says one has 1 unit left, and the other has 2 units. Is that real that they have limited units?
@@JonMorlow I did buy an iZotope license on eBay about 4 years ago, and it was legit. Also quite a good price, (but reasonable enough to not be a scam.) I personally would trust it. No way of knowing how many units they have; it could be a tactic where they add more as they sell them, to pressure people into buying. But who knows!
Around 1:01:00 how are you panning mono tracks in the visual mixer? i read in the manual and on the site that you cant pan the mono tracks. I keep trying to do it but nothings working. Is it because you grouped them in the track stack or are those really stereo tracks?
If I had to guess, maybe he is make the mono track a stereo track using the Relay plug-in prior to moving it on the visual mixer? He might have overlooked that step in the video.
With the vocals, for example, would you have run them through RX10 to repair any clicks, hums or crackles and the like before working on the track in say Melodyne for pitch correction before then working on it in Nectar? Bit of a noob with this, thanks for your patience, people...😁

STUDIO ONE TEMPLATE ??????
Anyone know if a video or link somewhere that explains the Exciter and what it is indepth?
For that matter, are there resources explaining indepth, all of the plugins? (Sculptor, Compressor, etc.)?
In fl studio does your relay go at the end of the signal chain or does neutron go at the end of the signal chain ??

This is the first solid mixing tutorial for a song...Okay, from now on, No one can say they did it first other than IZOTOPE!!

Totally agree with this on EVERY video that exists on TH-cam. We should copy/past this everywhere :)

na just hip hop. lol just joking
This is one of the most engaging mixing tutorials I have ever seen. Fantastic presentation and such a wonderful bank of terminologies that makes sense.
That before and after mix at the start definitely made me watch the whole video! Massive difference
So glad I invested in you guys. Fantastic work with 2.1
I'd love to see a mastering guide similar to this.
Using all of these for a RPM challenge and the entire suite of products is incredible. Well done.
I'm so extremely happy I bought these plugins on a bundle, it's just so useful, advanced and easy! So many features I haven't seen from anyone else!
this video is absolutely goated, credit the instructor, he did an amazing job, clear & concise through and through.
p.s this video will help me win multiple grammys.

This makes me think iZotope need to develop there own DAW and when the do it will be totally EPIC
This is scary but also amazing how technology keeps being better and better. I cannot lie, I love it
In one sentence: A set of fantastic tools
best advertisement of all time!
Yes! Hip hop mixing tutorials! Thank You!
This was unbelievably helpful! I haven't been able to enjoy the awesomeness of my iZotope subscription.....until now!
The best mixing tutorial! Buying production suite 2.1 was one the best investments I've made.

thanks.. recently I subscribed to izotope.. and this tutorial is very very helpful for me.. thank you son much
best tutorial i hv ever seen
rad. how about a mix tutorial for some indie rock or garage rock? toro, tame impala, demarco type of stuff that doesn't need to sound like top 40
This is a very Thorough teaching of the izotope mix/mastering system,thank you very much..
thanks so much izotope! finally i can do all the technical stuff easily!
That beginning thing you did with relay and neutron. It was already sounded like a really good mix. That was dope
WAIT WHAT!? Just bought this, and never thought It would be this good. So damn good to be true, BUT IT IS.
What an epic journey! 🙏🏼 thank you for this video.
Geoff = GOAT. THANKS A LOT 💜
Sheesh, solid tutorial!!! Thanks Izotope + Geoff!!
Soothing like a Bob Ross video. I love the voice of the moderator.
