Review: Mixing a Song Using Only iZotope Music Production Suite Plugins with Neutron and Nectar

In this video, I review the iZotope Music Production Suite Plugins. I evaluate what’s good and what is missing from this plugin bundle. The usefulness, as an audio mixing tool for these plugins is evaluated to find the strengths and weaknesses of this plugin bundle and whether or not it is a good value for the consumer, especially when faced with competition from several professional audio plugin companies.
The devices evaluated include: iZotope Neutron, iZotope Nectar, iZotope Neoverb, including the modules of the EQ, Gate, Transient Shaper, Exciter, Shaper, Compressor. This includes vintage modes as well as multiband settings for each of these modules.
My criteria for evaluating each subscription bundle are as follows:
What are the strengths of these bundled plugins?
What are the weaknesses, what’s missing or needs to be supplemented to be a complete solution?
Who is the target audience for this subscription?
Can an entire song be mixed using only this Bundle?
Do I think that it’s a good value?
So Who do I think is the Target Audience for this Subscription?
This plugin bundle is designed for the serious audio engineer or music producer. It actually sounds like you are mixing on an analog recording console.
Can an Entire Song Be Mixed with this Bundle?
Absolutely. This plugin bundle comes with pretty much everything you could possibly ask for.
Do I think this Subscription Bundle is a good value?
This pricing seems to be on par with other plugin companies. Since the price was reduced for the Music Production Suite, it is an excellent value.
Hopefully you’ve found this information helpful. Stay tuned for more audio subscription bundle reviews. I’ll try to post a new one every week, so if you know of one you want me to get to, leave a comment below, or just let me know what your thoughts are.

Well done. Smart idea. In an informal survey on Reddit, most musicians and producers seem to still prefer individually different compressors, EQs, gates, limiters, etc. The idea of using all the features and apps included in the Music Production Suite from Izotope is not popular. I’m not sure why. I own it, but have a lot to learn.

1.14 in, and I've stopped the video, liked, subscribed, saved to a playlist and commented. Quality stuff man, and funny too!

Hi Im pretty much a fan of the videos and have no intent to bug you, just saying Id love to see more videos from you! Love your stuff.

Where is the song you mixed so we can hear the end results?

[@Illiyinmusic]

the main thing i hear people complain about is they dont use izotope because its an ai program..AI is there if youre new or a composer and want to get your stuff done quickly while sounding good than spending hours and hours mixing., but you can use it as an awesome channel strip

[@JosephCarven]

Why didn't you use nectar or neutron on an audio track of this video? There are so many plugins under subscription that can make a crappy microphone to sound as preem.
