Inter Plug-in Communication
Table of Contents
Overview
Relay can send metering data to, or receive information from, select Inter Plug-in Communication (“IPC”) compatible iZotope plug-ins. The following sections offer examples of how you can use Relay with other IPC compatible iZotope plug-ins.
Relay and Insight
Relay can send metering data to the Spectrogram and Intelligibility meters in Insight.
Insight Spectrogram meter
Up to eight Relay instances can be displayed at once in the Spectrogram meter panel in Insight.
Insight Intelligibility meter
Relay instances can be selected as a source in the Intelligibility meter panel in Insight.
Relay and Tonal Balance Control
Relay can be selected as a source in the Tonal Balance Control plug-in.
Relay and Neutron
You can use Relay as a source in the Visual Mixer, EQ Masking Meter, and Balance Assistant.
Neutron Masking Meter
Relay can be selected as a source in the Masking Meter feature in the Neutron (EQ module), or in the Neutron Equalizer component plug-in.
Neutron Visual Mixer
Relay controls can be remotely modified in the Neutron Visual Mixer plug-in. Moving a Relay node up or down in the Visual Mixer will adjust the gain slider in the remote instance. Moving a Relay node left or right in the Visual Mixer will adjust the pan control in the remote instance (stereo Relay instances only). Dragging Relay node handles in the Visual mixer will adjust the width parameter in the remote instance (stereo Relay instances only).
Neutron Balance Assistant
Relay instances can be selected as a mix focus for the Balance Assistant feature in Neutron.
Relay and Nectar
Relay can be used as an Unmask source in Nectar Vocal Assistant. When masking is detected between the Nectar instance and the Relay instance, an EQ curve will be applied to the Relay instance in order to reduce masking of the vocal track. When the EQ curve is active, Relay will display the track name it is unmasking. The EQ curve can be disabled by clicking the “Unmask” power button in the Relay interface.
Nectar Unmask Controls
Additional controls become available in the Unmask section of Relay when you are connected to an instance of Nectar Plus or Nectar Pro.
You can learn more about these additional unmask controls in the Vocal Assistant chapter of the Nectar help documentation.
