Videos

• Introduction (07:50) - Scottie welcomes you and lays out what you'll be learning. He then reveals the Neutron 2 user interface and other global parameters. You then dive into the powerful Preset Manager, enabling you to pick and choose from some awesome starting points.

• Track Assistant (12:30) - Next, take a look at why Neutron 2 is different from all other channel strip plug-ins. See and hear how it can make some great musical choices for when you start mixing.

• EQ (10:54) - Scottie now starts to break down Neutron 2 per module. Also see how Neutron 2 has a very useful take on this vital stage of mixing including Sidechain and Dynamic mode.

• Compressor (08:50) - Discover how Neutron 2 has two compressors built in that offer a wide selection of ways to utilize compression within a mix. They also look great.

• Exciter (05:42) - This module is all about saturation. Explore how you can color your mix with many different flavors, adding excitement and character to different signals along the way.

• Gate (07:40) - Neutron 2 also introduces a new Gate with Hysteresis. This gives you even more control when you want to remove parts of the signal.

• Transient Shaper (07:10) - Have you ever wanted to add some attack or remove some sustain? Using the Transient Shaper makes these potentially difficult changes easy.

• Limiter (04:55) - Scottie reveals how limiting isn't only for the Master Bus. See how it can help sculpt many different types of instrumentation, and do some pretty interesting things to very transient material.

• Neutrino (04:35) - The spectral shaping section of Neutron 2 is very subtile. See however, how lots of little subtleties across many tracks can make a huge difference.

• Masking Meter & Mix Tap (10:11) - Next, learn all about Masking and how Neutron 2 can help you find those potentially problematic frequencies.

• Tonal Balance Control (06:03) - The idea behind this device is simple. You can use Tonal Balance Control to compare your mixes to the tonal balance of professional mixes. See how!

• Visual Mixer (09:31) - Finally, Scottie shows you a new way to mix. See how you can use Nodes to visually place out tracks within the stereo field, creating depth, width and balance!
