Visual Mixer

Overview

The Visual Mixer is a new paradigm for mixing-in-the-box and a step towards the future of node-based mixing. By connecting you to every Neutron 2 plug-in loaded in your session, you can visually place your music in a virtual space. Using iZotope’s inter-plugin communication technology, you can adjust the pan, volume, and stereo width of any Neutron 2 instance in your session.

X/Y Pad

Move nodes within the X/Y pad interface to control different elements of your mix remotely.

Panning

Adjust the stereo pan control of any Neutron 2 plug-in by dragging nodes left or right in the X/Y pad.

Volume

Adjust the output gain of any Neutron 2 plug-in in your session by dragging nodes up and down in the X/Y pad.

Width

Adjust the Width amount of any stereo Neutron 2 plug-in in your session by clicking on a node and adjusting the handles that appear on the left and right edges of the node.

Plug-in List

The list on the right side of the Visual Mixer interface displays the names of all Neutron 2 plug-ins in your session.

Clicking on the eye button to the left of the instance name will hide or show that instance in the X/Y pad.

You can double-click on an instance name to rename it from the Visual Mixer.

Mix Snapshots

Save Mix Snapshots to compare different configurations or hide/show states for the nodes in the Visual Mixer.

Set

Save a snapshot by clicking on the “Set” button above the A/B/C buttons

A/B/C

Toggles the view to display the Mix Snapshot you set for a given button. These are greyed out until a snapshot is set.

Activity Metering

Nodes display activity metering to indicate if audio is passing through the associated plug-in.

When red is displayed in the activity meter for a given node, it is indicating the associated Neutron 2 plug-in output is clipping.
