[@bikesnbeerz]

This was so good, 12+ people thought they pressed the download button.

[@fearbabyriffs]

First Neutron 3 video that actually read & taught the manual instructions besides Izotope

[@kiwiradioNZ]

GREAT TUTORIAL! And relay looks like a cool tool! Izotope have some great tools!

[@Robinexs]

Have you noticed that David has a very low dislike ratio? No wonder, right? Thank you, Master !

[@jasonorfan]

This was the best video online for Neutron 3. As always a channel that delivers :)

[@BluesLicks101]

Izotope ought to hire you, seriously! This explaination was 10 times better than the Izotope guy's detailed explaination. Better music examples too! New subscriber.

[@djrickysmith]

Thank you for the tutorial. Was right to the point and easy to follow plus I could hear what you were showing.

[@seanrimada8571]

well, saving time... you have a point there. last night I studied piano until 4 am and man i wish there was an easier way to play... it was fun but very very hard, so easy sometimes is welcome.

[@OzricTentaclesRule]

Interesting update... while i find I dont use the Neutron very often as much except the EQ sometimes as I like its masking implementation, I also really dug the spirit of the Visual mixer as while we are trying not to mix with our eyes (hopefully), it did help me get an auditory visual (if that makes sense) seeing where and hearing where a signal was sitting in a realistic representation of the listening space...some cool stuff indeed, and I think like Fabfilter, Izotope has some amazing intuitive UI interaction... after all we do use a mouse and a keyboard much of the time (if we dont use a control surface of some kind all the time) and so targeting that type of feel and feedback is the future IMHO... excellent description of the use of the new functions !! :)

[@StanislawHalasa684]

Very nice video Thank you,

[@harvestmediacompany7810]

I just included Neutron 3 Advanced into my workflow, overall it's a great asset and time saver.

[@michaelmcconville5495]

Thanks David for sharing your knowledge with such clarity and relevance

[@Swiftopher755]

Great video my friend, I'm going to demo this asap, thank you

[@savesounds_0103]

Thanks for the tutorial, just bought the Mix&master bundle..✌

[@TheGreatestMajesty]

Oww Boy, Cyber Monday is going to be a blessing for me this year.

[@seanrimada8571]

And thanks man, the lessons and product coverage you do are a very good oracle for ppl who are self tought and try to avoid the common mistakes. I tried the LCR mixing on my new beats and man, LCR 4 life now.

[@mauricelevasseur9987]

Thanks! Very informative.

[@danabarnes4751]

Great review! Thank you. It was really refreshing to watch a tutorial video that actually involved Dynamic, real music and instruments as opposed to trap beats and synthesizers.

[@mbliss01]

+1, thank you!

[@itsmikepetro]

That music during intro logo is that from the old Art Bell show? Awesome either way!

[@retsmej]

great tutorial ! do you do this after gain staging , or this is already gain staging that it's doing ? thanks.

[@iseeu-fp9po]

I don't know why, but I think your voice in combination with your accent sounds really cool! :D Oh, and thank you for the demo! When I first heard about it, I actually thought about what you might think of it.

[@joost3783]

David is this a sponsored video by iZotope or PluginBoutique or is this your genuine opinion? thanks for the vid!

[@joost3783]

@@Fishoilification i generally like this channel thats why im asking David @MixbusTV this question! This video just seems staged.. . And there are certainly channel like Dave Pensado's which give great advice without feeling sponsored/ staged. Don't wanna hate on this video it just seems weird somehow.

[@dkyx]

@@joost3783 Why? Neutron 3 just got released. I only learned about it since I got a free upgrade in my mail from Neutron 2 Standard (which I only got last month by upgrading Neutron 2 Elements to Standard). Neutron 3's Mix Assistant is awesome, so obviously people will want to make videos/demo's of it.

[@Am6-9]

Joost B would it change your opinion about the plugin if the video was sponsored? In the end you gotta test it for yourself (there’s usuall a demo version) and decide whether it works for you.

Seems like Neutron is finally in a version where I consider a purchase

incredibly valuable advice. thanks for your video.

Bro... better than their promo vid. I’m sold.

[@billyhughes9776]

I have Nectar which is specific to just vocals and it works really wel and I've used it quite a bit l -- I only do recording/mixing part-time/serious hobby, so Neutron 3 looks like it would help save me some time. Great info, thanks.

[@leadvillejim]

With the Mix Assistant/Visual mixer, are you able to save snaphots, so if you further tweak and want to go back, you can? Thank you

[@deejaytea694]

This is a great plugin. My question is when using mix assistant should you still gain stage before running this plugin?

[@retsmej]

@@mixbustv oh so here's the answer to my question. thanks!

[@DJLanta]

I do a pregame stage! Put a VM meter (set to -18) on all tracks and make sure nothing is clipping past zero on VU then use the neutron mixer to gain stage

[@LAstudio8]

Great tips . Thanks

[@ILL8ZILLA8]

I do have a question regarding gainstaging as I will be using vsts for mastering...would you advise gainstaging and if so at what point would you gainstage?I've been expirementing with around -12db which ends up around -6 or -9 db on master. I'm still very new to mixing and mastering so any advice would be a godsend to me.

[@ILL8ZILLA8]

Thanks

[@29djandy]

Well explained and can understand

[@charley2070]

After the Mix Assistant set my Levels. Should ic transfer it to my DAW faders and remove the relay Plugin or should i ignore my Faders and only make adjustments in the relay plugins? I understand that it gives me a good starting point. But is there a "good practice" to go on from there. I am not asking for mixing tipps. It just feels strange to rely on the relay plugin in the first insert, then apply any mixing plugins after that an adjust with the DAW fader and then probably even insert an Instance of Neutron 3 at the end of a track insert chain.

[@chb8037]

yeah, you should be able to have all the settings sent to the DAW and then turn off the the neutron plugins if you not using them.

[@andrewmckenzie7679]

Does it changes the fader in your daw or its within the plugin itself? Or it adjust the fader virtually within the groups you assign within the plugin. I'm lost...

[@tobytodelafontena]

Hi! and thanks a lot for this very nice tutorial, once again. When you say rough trax, what do you really mean? The tracks you use here received some compression before, even just a little because they would not be so "regular" if not. Do I miss something?

[@mixbustv]

Not necessarily, good musicians can keep good dynamic when recording, something you don't see too often today.

[@ChristopherFreedom]

Great info. Subscribed. Thank you

[@hiphop3sree3]

Wow. That's a great assistant but I always like to rely on my ears to mix great video my friend

[@prince2544]

Hi in your video 7.10 mins if I click accept how can I bring the sliders back for my mixing because I need the focus and voices thanks.

[@JewishRockMusic]

I'm learning EQ frequencies ... I see you can adjust the db in this plug-in, but which EQ plug-in are you using or recommend?

[@mixbustv]

If you're learning the basics still, get any full parametric eq, proQ-3 is arguably the best, most versatile bit.ly/2C4PtjY I'd also get a classic eq, Waves API or V series are also good. Simply because with those you have fixed frequencies that worked for decades on everything, so you will organically start to associate certain key frequencies to certain tasks or instruments without too much guess work that you have with a full parametric

[@patrickgoethals3235]

your title says neutron 3 . but in your video you open neutron 3 advanced. what is the difference between these 2. Except for the price? (google transl.) thx 4the vid.

[@djhidirakyuz]

very usefull tutorial thanks

[@PrinceTribute]

I wonder how well writing automation works within the visual mixer. That could be a super fun way to write volume and panning automation if it works well. I'm going to have to try digging into that.

[@irecki1]

I always enjoy watching Mixbus. Dave is pretty smart guy and mixing Boss. According to Neutron 3, I’m afraid in few years that kind of tools will do all or most job for mixing. We are going to be lazy and musical deaf, our ears will retire very quick

[@demodeiowa]

Ur channel is badass

[@marehathor]

What is song was used in this video??

[@seanrimada8571]

I did not know about this update, I will get my eyes on it. I spent a few bucks on my new Apollo Twin and a few plugins (you have to make a list for the top UA sh* for begginers considering the price of each DSP plugin). Mayble I'll try the splice rent to own feature if you absolutely recomend Izotope Nutron 3 for any begginer in the mixing street school.

[@seanrimada8571]

@@mixbustv Dave as always, thanks for the advice. I will demo this over the next couple of tracks I'm producing w/ other people and check if they like the results. Thanks man

[@alvarezgamers]

Very nice explanation dude!

[@TheBlackJewelz]

Is the mixbus essentially the Master Fader track?

[@mavicsofficial]

If you already adjusted the track faders - would it not be correct to put Relay post fader and as the last plugin on each track and Neutron as last plugin on the mixbus ?

[@mavicsofficial]

MixbusTV Exactly, I agree - Visual Mixer of course 😉 Would you then out the Visual Mixer last in the mixbus ?

[@mavicsofficial]

*put

[@mavicsofficial]

MixbusTV The Mix Assistant + Relay really works ! I was lazy and just put Relay last and post fader on my busses and Visual Mixer last on my mixbus. It is a trance track where the drop really sounded muddy. It responded by turning everything down - even the kick which is my focus where my mixer fader already was at -12. Magic !

[@frattuncbas]

If you use Neutron in a channel do you need to add relay? Or only needs in group channels? And what about master channel Neutron tonal balance? U have to or not?

[@mixbustv]

You don't *have* to, personally I never do, but less experienced mixers could probably find it useful

[@rumarey2]

Thanks for the info ,will it work on midi orchestral music ?

Hi bro , how do you reduce the size of the plugin window?

[@ILL8ZILLA8]

Great video 👍

[@jasonzdora]

Sculptor is kind of like Soundtheory Gullfoss, it seems.

[@Crow-sj6sf]

So it basically moves the basic normal functions of the mixer to another window and calls it "neutron 3".

[@mokylarry1525]

Thank you in advance Sir

[@pravo.]

Great brother

[@DrJMoLac]

I don't understand how this is any different than simple gain staging (with adjustments for what you want up front) with a VU or RMS meter plugin

[@Prodby_duke]

It’s not but it helps cut your workflow in half

[@nexuswh]

What if my tracks are already planned and the visual mixer shows everything in center

[@teach_ex1]

is he using win 7?

[@MrGrandriggity]

I put a relay on each individual mixer track and neutron on my master but when i go to mix assistant>balanced only neutron is showing up. Any clue why the relays aren't doing their job for me?

[@joshbustos6760]

I'm having the same issue. Have you found a solution?

[@bboymac84]

So this basically a Gain staging plug-in on steroids?

[@Ursmoov]

do i gain stage before doing this?

[@avationmusic]

of course I'm not going to be producing a track at unity, so could I then rather once I'm done producing, export all the stems and normalize all my tracks and then start mixing from there?

[@dkyx]

Yep.

[@avationmusic]

MixbusTV then what would you suggest? Reset the gain to unity manually on each track? And if you have time, could you tell me the reasons as to why it’s wrong? Always thirsty for more knowledge haha. Thanks :)

[@larrycom]

Who started the idea of renaming faders, to sliders? I guess I am just old school.

[@larrycom]

@@mixbustv No actually, I have been hearing people referring to faders as sliders for a while now. Anyway, nice video.

[@seanrimada8571]

Man, this is magic plugin... i can see myself over-tempted to use this as a panic button. what do you say man? do the ears approve on the magic or is it more like black/blood magic, the one you should only use very occasionally. I mean, while learning I think hardship must uncover capacity and ability through habits. I don't necessarily see the use of this one as a good habit, not in the same way as the habit of creating headroom before mixing or doing levels and pans before any processing. Good lesson to see you use it, but man I don't want to raise bad habits in my listening.

[@schpeidermann]

Use it as a reference! Mix without it on your own in one session. Afterwards you can let Neutron mix and hear for your self. You won't loose much time, but may gain a reference to your mixing approach!

[@seanrimada8571]

schpeidermann thanks! Will do

[@FernandoLobo]

Nahh....they went on sale for most of their products a month ago. And now they release new versions and you need to pay for the upgrade pretty shitty,....and they do it every time they release something new.Don't trust this video, don't trust izotope. A lot of respect for mixbusTv and this guy, but again, dont use this video as reference, izotope will take your money for mediocre products.

@@tripl39music85 i've got it a few months, on discount.Used a couple times,bought it because i wanted to try something new ...not that great in my opinion, they tell you its awesome and its really not, pretty average. If you are looking for a plugin that does the job for you, ...sorry to say that no plugin will do that for you.....but 300 for this is WAY too much, don't waste your money, please.If you want to get lots of tools and not spend a lot of money i would get IK multimedia T-RackS 5 MAX, or Maybe mcdsp 6060 and valhalla delay and reverb, these will cover most your needs and for less than 300..this is coming from a guy that owns most of softube, plugin alliance , waves, etc etc..hundreds of plugins.Check T-RACK, the thing is that you will need to learn to use the tools...you can get a great mix just using T-RACK...

[@tripl39music85]

@@FernandoLobo Okay thanks bro! Ive got the demo version now and will try it today for the frst time... and indeed maybe it is something you only use once. Thing is I dont have a great working environment, most of the time just DT 770 pro headphones plugged straight into the macbook. So I love the idea of tools like this to get a good starting point with their AI algorithms and then tweak to taste, since its very hard to get the right sound in my situation. And what you think of the visual mixer for stereofield placement? Thanks!

[@FernandoLobo]

@@tripl39music85 Ok,...at the end of the day you will do whatever you want, but that you need to understand that neutron is going to do some very basic things on your tracks, you will need to go and do the fine tuning yourself....putting 300 and not knowing how and when use compression, eq and such, will not give you a good mix..if you dont know how to mix, that's where you should invest first and then buy whatever plugin you want.

Another snake oil for beginners! David or any other skilled engineer would easily control this plug in or any other intelligent plugin out there, bcz they already learned the “hard way” how to do achieve a proper mix!
