- Mixing an entire track can seem scary, but it doesn’t have to be. In this video, we break down the most important steps in mixing a track. Learn how to import and organize your tracks and get them to a good level balance. Then dive into best practices for mixing each core part of a typical mix: your drums, bass, guitars, synths and vocals, all before polishing the final mix into a rough master.

iZotope, Inc. Great video! Would be nice to have that stems too, to test it by myself! Thanks!
STUDIO ONE TEMPLATE ??????
Anyone know if a video or link somewhere that explains the Exciter and what it is indepth?
For that matter, are there resources explaining indepth, all of the plugins? (Sculptor, Compressor, etc.)?
In fl studio does your relay go at the end of the signal chain or does neutron go at the end of the signal chain ??
Hello !! Great Video , I have a question about the processing after running the Mix balance , you stated not move the fader because the static mix as been done , but after you process the kick drum , the bass neutron added 2 db on each of the track is that normal ? or do we need to match the in and out of the plugins ?
This is the first solid mixing tutorial for a song...Okay, from now on, No one can say they did it first other than IZOTOPE!!
Please please, Before/After bypassing, don't stop the music and say " here's after the bypass"! Sometimes the changes are so subtle that it is impossible to detect them. Just click bypass, and we'll hear the differences much more clearly. Thanks for the video!
Totally agree with this on EVERY video that exists on RUclips. We should copy/past this everywhere :)
@@RogerioValgode True...
this is something I see in so many youtube tutorials and it bugs me out so much, if im trying to hear this subtle changes, please dont stop it because by doing that, youre resetting my ears and idk what im listening for anymore
Hearing those differences is much more easier than hearing the vocal track. I watched this video once and i can hear everything, and understand everything about those plugins, but after I watched this and other izotope videos couple times since released to show it to my friends and to remember some stuffs, I still don't get what the rapper said except the "like that", "What" and those weird adlibs. lol
comment copied, and pasted on every audio tutorial in the universe (with credits of course ^^)
These videos are great for learning to use izotope products in the way izotope envisioned them to be used. I gotta say there is a lack of tutorials out there for your awesome products and the more videos like this will help your sales as well as unravel the mystery of properly using plug-ins like Neutron 3 while showing there pure capabilities. Thanks!
Tope, this video is fire. Thank you
ABSOLUTLY! Most tutorials are terrible.. This one is excellent! Thank you Izotope
One thing to make it even better.. demonetize it so we're not interrupted with ads!
yes, yes, yes this is the walk-through I've been waiting for. Thanks.
na just hip hop. lol just joking
Every time I learn something with iZotope, the man who mixes my songs says that every time he sees me less. After this tutorial I think he will not see me anymore. Thanks!
Lol 😂
Lmao. SAVAGE!
😂
So glad I invested in you guys. Fantastic work with 2.1
I'd love to see a mastering guide similar to this.
The best end-to-end mixing tutorials I have seen! Even if you don't have Izotope product suite it's an education in gain staging, EQ sculpture, compression and tonal balance process. Thank you.
I just bought Neutron 3 Adv today. I have to say... This tutorial is mind-blowing. I've learnt an incredible amount from this. Masking and tonal balance is really going to help my mix, now that I have this video to guide me through the mine field of buttons, knobs and terminologies inside the iZotope Universe. Thank you!
This is one of the most engaging mixing tutorials I have ever seen. Fantastic presentation and such a wonderful bank of terminologies that makes sense.
I'm a rock multi instrumentalist / songwriter recording in Reason 10, & I've studied this remarkable video twice now all the way thru, & find the information invaluable. I love my iZotope plugs more than ever! Thank you.
I'm so extremely happy I bought these plugins on a bundle, it's just so useful, advanced and easy! So many features I haven't seen from anyone else!
Using all of these for a RPM challenge and the entire suite of products is incredible. Well done.
I watched and paused and studied and upgraded from standard to advanced to get this right. I'm so glad I paid attention because I got a chance to see what how when and why. I can't wait to continue to understand how to tame all my work to a better understanding on how decisions turn into better sound.
This is scary but also amazing how technology keeps being better and better. I cannot lie, I love it
I am incredibly humbled and shocked by how well done and beautiful this tutorial has been. This single tutorial with 3 years of on and off mixing has taught me an abundance of knowledge that I have been missing. All hail Izotope!!!
No lie 💯. I'm just beginning and I feel so empowered!! Long live iZotope i guess🤷🏽♂️
Simple but effective processes go a long way all thanks to these guys leading the way. What I love about it is that it saves me time as an artist having to worry about taking loads of time on the final mix and getting back to what I want to do is the music.
Just upgraded to Music Production Suite 2.1! Thank you so much for the tutorial! So excited to get mixing!
Watching this still makes me happy
That before and after mix at the start definitely made me watch the whole video! Massive difference
The best part of this video is the well-defined approach. I demoed Neutron and was a bit confused by the whole relay signal flow. This demonstration helped drastically with my understanding of how the plugins interact with each other. The music production suite requires you to approach a mix a bit differently because of the change in signal flow, but I can see how if you become familiarized you can BLAZE through mixing. It seems to me that speed is the most tangible benefit to this system.
Great Video, This format is Mega-Helpful.
best advertisement of all time!
I've been working with the Production Suite for a few months, but this excellent video gave me very important and very useful insights. Thank you for this detailed tutorial, by the way, with a commentator that is very suitable for this task. I don't want to leave that unmentioned. Greetings from Germany
This makes me think iZotope need to develop there own DAW and when the do it will be totally EPIC
The best mixing tutorial! Buying production suite 2.1 was one the best investments I've made.
This is gold. Thank you guys, and it only brings goodwill to your amazing products aswell. Cheers.
You guys are .. just wonderful. Such helpful content. I really mean it. It warms my heart. I know your endgame is to win consumer trust with all this incredible content and you've fucking done it lol what a wonderful company. Keep doin u
Just upgraded my Music Production Suite and watched this ENTIRE video! really great information!
This was unbelievably helpful! I haven't been able to enjoy the awesomeness of my iZotope subscription.....until now!
Absolutely brilliant...Geoff is a natural! Does anyone know if a later version of this video has been produced to incorporate the updated version of the products used as of April 2023. This video is fantastic...I just wonder if there is an update...thanks Geoff...much appreciated over here in the UK...Oh...one more thing, do you ever do videos that use Ableton Live 11 Suite...if not we Ableton users would really like that!!
This what I want to know. This is amazing and will definitely get people going but there needs to be an updated one with the new suite. This one is like 4 years old.
This was amazing and so helpful. I really appreciated how in-depth you got. I felt like I had a tutor. Thank you!
What an epic journey! 🙏🏼 thank you for this video.
incredibly good video and what a track such a nice vibe. Thanks alot for this precise explanation!
In one sentence: A set of fantastic tools
Be great to have a similar tutorial video for orchestral/film music, where the dynamic range is usually very broad
Great tutorial !!! This is like a tutorial should be - a solid deep practical insight into the functions of the iZotope plugins - really excellent !!!
Yes! Hip hop mixing tutorials! Thank You!
Outstanding tutorial. Would love to see a similar tutorial for another completely different music genre such as country or generally acoustic instruments. However, I expect the application will be very similar. 👌
Amazing job! This tutorial was the one good thing that happened in 2020.
perfect walkthrough to get the capabilities of Neutron and more. Thanks!
Simply AMAZING! I am looking into purchasing the mixing suite 5. This tutorial pretty much sealed the deal for me.
I bought it and wow...I'm NOT regretting it one little bit!!
FANTASTIC tutorial! I mix instrumentals and only own Neutron 3 Advanced (so far) but I really see the value of the rest of these products!
iZotope is on another level in this plugin world.
izotope should make some hardware controller/mixers that integrate with these plugins. I think that would be cool to have a bunch of faders and knobs to switch between individual relay balances or entire group balances and plugins. It would give you users something to experience hands on mixing. It's so much better than a mouse.
Dude that song is actually really fucking good this leaddd
Thank you for this amazing mix tutorial.
Very well explained and easily understood. A great help in my understanding of this complex subject. haven't been able to understand it before. Thanks
Another informative and compelling tutorial. Great job guys!
Incredible video. Thanks for condensing all of this information into such a helpful package.
Longtime Reason user. Logic is the only DAW I would move too if I had a need. I remember using it when it was a Windows program. What a DAW. Nice vid.
This was incredibly helpful, I've been doing a bit with Ozone 9 here and there, not realizing the impact of Relay and Neutron. I'm starting over! Knowledge is power! Please update this video (or make a new improved one!) with Ozone 9 and all the other improvements. Thanks again for this!
You make my workflow more efficient. Thank you Izotope.
Great walkthrough! And such a great track.
This is extremely helpful. I'm going to rewatch this over and over til I get it.
Awesome plugins! A whole new way of Mixing. I like it!
this was awesome , so helpful ,thank you so much!😊
Great, really needed tutorial I was looking for! Highly appreciated!
this video is absolutely goated, credit the instructor, he did an amazing job, clear & concise through and through.
p.s this video will help me win multiple grammys.
thank you soooo much 😊 me and my friend make all our own music and we have been learning to mix and dare I say master our music as we go 👀🤯🤦♂️ since I found Izotope our mixes have changed for the better .... we are still learning and your vid has been a huge help 😊 many many thanks ✌️
Sheesh, solid tutorial!!! Thanks Izotope + Geoff!!
Absolutely crazy... Thank you.
This video is a tremendous help! Izotope rules!
Great tutorial! I need this so much, thanks!
I just stated using the visual mixer after years of having it. I love it so far. The only thing I have trouble with is accidentally panning while trying to mix volume. Holding shift works to keep it centered but it would be great, instead if you could also adjust volume with mouse wheel/trackpad on whatever is selected, while holding shift+mouse wheel adjusts the stereo image. Or the ability to lock panning or volume to focus on either or.
So Awesome! Thanks for doing this video iZotope.
This is a very Thorough teaching of the izotope mix/mastering system,thank you very much..
Excellent video and presentation. You explain very well and in a nice way your every move in the mixture without any questions arising what and how and above all how to use Neutron and Ozone. As long as anyone watching the video already has some basic knowledge.
Thank you Geoff Manchester! Awesome video!
Great vid. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
WAIT WHAT!? Just bought this, and never thought It would be this good. So damn good to be true, BUT IT IS.
Such a great video. Why are there not more like this, mixing from beginning to end?!? Thanks~
This was very helpful. Thank you so very much. I learned a lot.
great video! thank you much!
This is so wonderful!
Great one
rad. how about a mix tutorial for some indie rock or garage rock? toro, tame impala, demarco type of stuff that doesn't need to sound like top 40
That beginning thing you did with relay and neutron. It was already sounded like a really good mix. That was dope
Dopeness! thank you Izotope!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
thanks.. recently I subscribed to izotope.. and this tutorial is very very helpful for me.. thank you son much
Awesome video there were a lot of features I didn't even know some of these plugins had
