Not helpful

This course only shows the sections within Neutron with minimal explaining. Comparing this "explained" to the amazing "Alloy 2 explained," this doesn't go into detail with examples on how to use each feature in multiple instances.

Scottie Dugan

1. When did you start dabbling in music?

I grew up taking classical piano lessons, so music has always been a part of my life. It started out as a daily chore and eventually evolved into a passion. Now I am very lucky to call it my profession.

2. What training have you had?

After thirteen years of private piano lessons I decided to pursue a formal degree. Two years in and I realized it wasn't for me. From that point on a began teaching myself and taking various online courses that offered subjects that excited me. I've gotten to learn and sit under individuals who are way better than I am.

3. When did you get into recording?

Ableton Live and the ability to make music with a computer were the two biggest reasons I didn't continue pursue a formal degree. I was in a band, we cut a DIY "garage album" and that started the obsession. The once obscured world of synths, hardware and software was now overwhealming as I transitioned away from a piano only mindset.

4. People you have worked with/for?

I have the great privilege to be working with Ableton as one of their Ableton Certified Trainers. Being a part of that community has been really amazing and life changing. I have yet to work with anyone rich and famous... but I have a feeling one day some of these crazy talented people will be. I get to work with students and artists who are chasing their musical dreams. I like the purity and passion that comes with that.

5. Why are you so good at training people?

Well, I've always been told that I'm a good teacher but I hated talking to people I didn't know. It took a while to get over those introvert tendencies and fear of public speaking and now I can't get enough. Watching a student get that lightbulb breakthrough or seeing an ignition of passion after the transfer of knowledge creates such a sense of fulfillment for me. I can't not teach.

Rated 3.0 out of 5 by from Covered the Basic Features adequately The reviewer did a decent job of demonstrating the program. However, I was more impressed with some of the other Groove 3 Tutorials such as the Ozone 7 series (with the englishman). This review did not have as many higher level tips, real world use and applied mixing techniques as did the other. The other reviewer (in the Ozone series) took time to include more of his personal use with tips and tricks. It felt more like a mastering lesson and featured more of what the engineer was thinking and attempting to accomplish and why. This neutron series was good for getting around the program and of good quality, but not much better than a Youtube tutorial.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from VERY Informative! I really liked the instructors manner of presenting all the ins and outs of Neutron Advanced. It's amazing how much more I can get out of this amazing plugin from iZotope after purchasing this training video! The only thing I would wish were different is that there be a little pause between each little tidbit of information. The instructor moves very quickly from one idea to the other (almost too quickly) and I need to pause and take notes way too often.

Rated 4.0 out of 5 by from Short and Concise The videos were very concise. It may be a bit too fast for starting producers and mixers but for seasoned engineers who just want to get the gist of things, it's quite on spot. My only comment is he whizzed by during the "Options" part, when he goes through "Gain Offset" in the EQ Module and "Bypass" and "Auto Gain" in the General section I believe. Mentioning it was explained in previous videos. True as it may, I just had to go over each video again to find it and make a note on it. As these are important aspects of how to use Neutron effectively. Overall, I like the videos. Thank you very much for your work.

I've been using Neutron for a couple months and these tutorial videos really took it to another level for me. i cannot wait to dig in deeper to get better mixes with this plug-in. Thanks G3!
Date published: 2017-03-08
Rated 4.0 out of 5 by from Excellent. I'll just cover what I think will improve it. * EQ section should have showed learning whilst masking * I feel the compression section could have been covered a lot more comprehensively with more examples. I think they should bolt on another lesson to this. Rushed. * Transient shaper should have covered learn mode. Could have moved the bands around a bit more to give a better overview. Don't get me wrong though, excellent tutorial I'm just hypercritical. Thanks.

Rated 4.0 out of 5 by from Decent Introduction Was very excited to purchase Neutron, and after diving in raw began craving a deeper understanding. This video does a suitable job in explaining each function, how it fits into one's workflow and the effect it can accomplish over a mix. It begins at a comfortable pace, taking time to explain and elaborate. However the instructor feels rushed midway and through to the end. I was left wishing for more explanation, more time to hear the changes implemented in the sample mix and a fleshing out of situational mixing. In particular features I am not accustom to like multi-band compression. This video does require one to be fairly well acquainted with the mixing process in general, and what different modules do to sound. The instructor assumes this familiarity in the student in many cases. While I was able to keep up with my amateur grasp on the subject, there were times when the narrative began to slip away from me, going over my head. It's not so much a criticism of the instructor, as it is the overall goal of the series itself. If you are already actively mixing with other equipment/software, and would like to learn how to implement Neutron into your workflow, this video is perfect. If, on the other hand, you purchased Neutron as a learning/simplifying tool to aid in developing your skills, you may be left wanting as I am. Neutron is the perfect product for this purpose, and the instructor does hit on this concept, however it would pay to spend time learning basics concerning elements like compression, implementing side chains, and other basic elements of mixing.

Rated 4.0 out of 5 by from Generally a good overview A worthwhile learning experience. But please dont make adjustments (like the wet/dry EQ controls during a Before and After demo. Also, dont assume making adjustments to the history whilst out of Screenview that we'll know what you've just done.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Neutron is the Bomb Good coverage of a great product. The videos are competent and cover all the bases, but a little more time could have been spent explaining it all. I do understand the rush to get out a competent series on a groundbreaking product and that is what is done here. I do have Neutron as part of the "Creative Bundle 2" from iZotope (look at that bundle and then get it, fantastic!). I find that I use Neutron on most tracks replacing EQ, compression, and saturation/exciter, and in the bargain I am getting better sound and a savings in processor load than from the biggest-name plug-in makers. Many of my tracks now only have Neutron with sends to FX like reverb. There are a couple tracks where I found the need to use something other than Neutron, but those are exceptional cases. Neutron is the best single plug-in for getting each track on the right track, and if you are not an absolute pro, it will guide you in a very good direction with "Track Assist" and "Learn" functions which give you a tremendous starting point. The videos show you where everything is and provide some very useful tips.

Rated 4.0 out of 5 by from Quick start guide in a video The video tutorial is a really good way to get a grip on this very complex plugin; it's a quick start guide in video format. After viewing the tutorial I think I have a solid understanding of what the plugin is capable of and how iZotope intended it be used. The tutorial could have been better, such as it doesn't cover the Neutrino portion of the plugin because a free Neutrino video is already available on Groove3 but this makes the classic mistake of doing what's easy for the provider instead of what's best for the customer. What would have been better is to simply splice the Neutrino video into this one so the customer could have everything in one simple-to-use resource. A minor gripe on the instructor is the hazy and, dare I say, clumsy manner in which he dealt with the MAC-OS and Windows-OS keyboard modifier differences; he should take the time to learn what they are and then impart both modifiers to the customer base wherever they arise.
