About iZotope

iZotope develops audio software and plug-ins used for mixing, mastering, audio restoration and related tasks. Its products run inside digital audio workstations and audio editors, so they extend an existing setup rather than replacing it.

The music production range includes Ozone for mastering, Neutron for mixing and Nectar for vocal processing, plus plug-ins for EQ, reverb and creative effects, bundles such as the Music Production Suite, and a set of free plug-ins. For audio post-production, the company offers RX, its repair and restoration software, in its current twelfth version.

iZotope is a commercial vendor selling individual products, bundles and a subscription, with free trials on offer. It suits music producers, mastering engineers, podcasters and post-production editors who need to clean up or finish audio.
