My offer is still somewhat cheaper though and I'm not sure how much of these "advanced" fetaures I actually need. It seems to be mostly about mixing/mastering auto-suggestions which I believe I don't need until I become confident about my own mixing abilities (and I definitely have no use for Nektar)

I just want a bunch of basic mixing tools, like eqs, compressors and such with state of art processing quality.

The most appreciated thing about advanced versions for me is the ability to load modules as individual plugins, not only as a channel strip.
So i bought the advanced for that, not actual AI.

Thanks, surelly will give the demo a go.

Does it save the CPU?

TBH I never had any problems with using as much instances of Alloy or Ozone in a chain as I wanted, I just disabled the modules I didn't need in each instance.

As of Version 3.1.0, Neutron's performance is fantastic - both in regular channel strip mode as well as Advanced single devices at a time. Also, not sure if it matters, but the latest Version 3.1.1 fixed MacOS Catalina support.

Well, that's great.

I'm mostly surious if the processing algorythmis have been improved/updated in Neutorn compared to Alloy, or how much new/useful functions are there, besides the AI stuff.

Seems the compressor and transient shaper have been massively rewamped. And what exaclly is that "sculptor"?

do Elements qualify for the Tonal Balance bundle crossgrade?

It says "paid". Have you paid for it, or got it as a freebie via e.g. Plugin Boutique?

i got it as a freebie, but technically it's a paid product, so i don't think it matters where i got it.

Should. I believe, when the Tonal Balance Bundle Crossgrade came around for the first time, I had Ozone and Neutron Elements only and bought Trash2 a little bit later. I think, what the mean with paid products is anything but the actual freebies like Neutrino etc.

Most likely. To be perfectly open, I upgraded a product that I already sold a week earlier but it was still visible in my account for some reason, so all in all I got more & never versions of plugins and was left with $5 to spare... iZotope's license handling and deal policy is really weird

N3 is up to 3x faster (lighter on CPU) than N2. O9 is also more CPU-friendly.

Dunno i just prefer it from the workflow perspective

i just checked with iZotope support - yes, Elements versions qualify.

Yeah, forgot about the Ozone improvements too.

How different are the Neutron 3 advanced modules from the Ozone 9 advanced modules?
Sculptor is similar to spectral Shaper in ozone 9.Do I really need Neutron 3 advanced
if I have ozone 9 advanced? I think today is the last day for the $199 tonal balance bundle.
Really don't need Nectar

Neutron 3 just dropped
