Visual Mixer "#"
Overview"#"
The Visual Mixer is a controller that uses node-based mixing that connects you to compatible iZotope plug-ins in your session. In Visual Mixer, you can visually place your music in a virtual space. Using iZotope’s IPC technology, you can adjust the pan, volume, and stereo width of any Neutron 3 instance in your session. You can also access Mix Assistant from Visual Mixer.
NOTE: See Assistant Chapter for More Information
For more information on how to use Mix Assistant with Visual Mixer, please visit the Assistants chapter.

Plug-in Controls"#"
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 3 plug-in by dragging nodes left or right in the X/Y pad.
Volume"#"
Adjust the output gain of any Neutron 3 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 3 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.
NOTE: About Mono instances
Panning and Width can’t be adjusted from the Visual Mixer for mono instances of Neutron 3 plug-ins.
Plug-in List"#"
The list on the right side of the Visual Mixer interface displays the names of all Neutron 3 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 3 plug-in output is clipping.
