An industry first, Neutron’s Track Assistant saves you time by listening your audio and recommending custom starting points for your track. The analysis intelligence within Neutron allows Track Assistant to automatically detect instruments, recommend the placement of EQ nodes, and set optimal settings for other modules. You still maintain full control over all your mix decisions, but Track Assistant gives you more time to focus on what’s most important — your creative take on the mix.

It's using AI algorithms? :0

they probably could have easily implemented the "track assistant" feature in Ozone for example... but hey, why not make a new plugin!?

The concept is indeed interesting but at the end of the day... a skilled engineer would beat any artificial intelligence IMO.

Anyone who ever think that ANY software will ever replace an accomplished musician/technician is a complete idiot! These are tools for the job, but there will always be needed the ultimate tool - our brain and our musicality.

Unfortunately, I assume that people with less experience (especially those relatively new to mixing/mastering) will be more.. "naive" to really believe that...

It's more about having a "smarter" preset than replacing skill. NN trained presets would be awesome IMO.

i think the guy in sos vid quite clearly outlines the purpose of the plug. it is not meant to be one knob matering tool. i like his reserved approach. what i got from his words is that the tool helps easily identify conflicts and allows to manage them. no miracles, no gimmicks just well thought out concept how to do things easier/faster. how well it is executed this is another subject. as previously stated great idea in my view.

Think I'll get the regular version and use Alloy2 for separates if necessary.

If you own the Music Production Bundle you can just upgrade to the upcoming V2 of that bundle and it includes many new additions i.e. Neutron Advanced, Vocalsynth and RX plugins now. I think the new MPB V2 upgrade is around $150 and it has several new plugins in that bundle. I'll be selling my copy of Vocalsynth wich I bought individually and be using that money twards the new MPB V2 upgrade. Izotope are usually generouse with upgrades and resale lately.

I don't know exactly which effects are also separates in Neutron but I do know that all of Neutron's algorithms are not exactly the same as Alloy's. Neutron has a new Transient Designer algorithm and a new dynamic-eq and Spectral Shaping .

Again, I'm a pretty "talked into" gas-a-holic.

When I listened (that's, listening w/o watching) I can't hear much.

Really the only reason a computer can't master as well as an experienced
human can, is simply the fact that humans have not figured out how to quantify
the mastering process well enough to program a machine to do it.

It will come eventually, make no mistake about that.

Just sayin...

From the SoS vid I got the impression this is a perfect tool to spend a day tweaking and mix nothing.
