I have iZotope Neutron 2 Advanced. Only use Tonal Balance Control. It has become indispensable for me.
Any alternatives out there?

Reference by Mastering the MIx.
It lets you mach the tonal balance against a specific reference track (or a few reference tracks)
and also audition back and forth between them and your mix.
Also compares compression and stereo image between your track and the reference(s).
Moreover it matches levels, allows to loop segments and focus on them and finally aligns
several variants of the same track.
Fantastic tool.

This one looks kinda interesting:

Not as a replacement but perhaps to complement?

I tried Reference (also because I'd like to replace Tonal Balance Control) and I generally liked it but I was getting strange results on the spectral balance section - putting things through TBC and Reference I was not getting the same settings. I also tried balancing to pink noise and the meters were jumping all over the place in a weird way. Not sure if it's a bug or what but I felt like I couldn't trust what I was seeing from Reference.

I deleted Reference because it brought up at least for me unusable results... I stay with iZotope, expensive, but good.

I have both and each emphasizes different things essentially. Ozone references tomartinjuenke wrote:I deleted Reference because it brought up at least for me unusable results... I stay with iZotope, expensive, but good.
a genre while Reference aims to surgically match one or a small set of targets.
Ozone is well integrated with the rest of O8 and N2. Reference works with all other tools.
I would not part with either. Reference has gotten more use for sure and its results give
me ability to match tonality at a remarkable level (for me). I noticed a bug (ocasional rare
graphics glitches and very rarely a crash but only if a session in Live is on for days) but that's far from a show stopper.
