iZotope announced they are working to make their plug-ins run on Apple computers with Apple silicon (M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max) chips. They are committed to ensuring performance and quality as they update the iZotope lineup’s latest versions for Apple silicon machines. Here is a look at the approach they’re taking to deliver these updates.

Apple Rosetta 2 is a translation mode that helps companies like iZotope enable existing software to run on Apple silicon machines more rapidly. Their products are all currently compatible with Rosetta 2.

Apple silicon native software means that the entire program has been modified to run natively on the new processor architecture.

We’ll update this regularly, and let you know when new versions of your plug-ins and memberships are ready to install in iZotope Product Portal.

iZotope pointed out that vinyl is a nearly century-old format with a firmly solidified place in the era of modern music. With today’s fast-paced advancements constantly pushing innovation in the world of music creation and consumption, the presence of this timeless physical format provides a sense of comfort, familiarity, and groundedness.

Even its “imperfections” (surface noise, clicks/static, warp) have become accepted as inherent characteristics that define the sound of the vinyl format as opposed to flaws.

Isotope’s free Vinyl plug-in celebrates this by allowing creators to manipulate these unique vinyl characteristics and apply them into their own productions. One of the parameters found in the plug-in is the Year settings, which models the sound of vinyl records from different decades using various filter responses.

And what better way to study these Year settings than by taking a musical trip through each decade: 1930’s, 1950’s, 1960’s, 1970’s 1980’s and 2000s. Start by downloading the latest Vinyl update for free from the iZotope website. Start your listening journey by switching from one Year setting to the next as you go through each decade. Keep in mind that the sound of the vinyl format is significantly determined by many extraneous factors so variations in the sound are to be expected.

iZotope is thrilled to share their first reverb product – Neoverb. Designed from the ground up for music, Neoverb re-invents how a mixing reverb for the modern-day music producer should look, sound, and feel.

Powered by iZotope’s AI capabilities, a lightning-fast workflow, and algorithmic reverb excellence inherited from Exponential Audio, hear how Neoverb can elevate your mixes in creative and inspiring ways.

Neoverb has an exciting new feature called Blend Pad. Instead of cycling through random presets and setting up multiple reverbs with complicated routing inside your DAW, iZotope created the Blend Pad to eliminate all friction traditionally inherent to this process.

With the Blend Pad, you’re free to jump right into the fun part of mixing with reverb: rapidly auditioning different reverb environments until you discover the perfect space for your audio. Once you find your sound, you’ll be able to refine and tweak it, sitting it perfectly in the mix.

By leaning into their experience with AI, Neoverb is able to tame reverb-tail problems areas quickly, keeping you in a creative headspace as you continue to explore new frontiers with reverb in your music.

First, their Pre EQ section will intelligently listen to your dry audio, identifying regions that have muddy harmonics that might create unwanted artifacts in your final reverb output. By reducing these at the source, iZotope can guarantee a smoother, cleaner reverb at the end.

The Reverb EQ includes specialized masking-reduction technology which listens to your audio and minimizes audible overlap and frequency crowding occurring between your reverb and the source. This will get you a great sound without needing to over-EQ later, which can get you much more natural-sounding results in the end.

iZotope has introduced Stutter Edit 2. It was created in collaboration with award-winning producer and music technologist BT.

Stutter Edit 2 is now available! With hundreds of professionally designed presets, ear-popping new effects, and an innovative new workflow, Stutter Edit 2 offers near-infinite creative possibilities for your music.

Stutter Edit 2 lets you create the famous “stutter” edit effect at the touch of a button and take your productions from good to great with sweeping transitions and effortless movement.

You can get Stutter Edit 2 for only $88 or as part of the upgraded Creative Suite 2 for only $199.

Why Stutter Edit 2?

• “New” Auto Mode: Use the new Auto mode to instantly fire off your effects with one button. Get great sounds out of the box and get creative quickly, no setup required.
• “New” Effects Modules: New Reverb, Comb, and Chorus modules join a suite of 11 insane effects that you can move in time with your mix. Combine your stutter edits with aggressive distortion, auto-pan effects, pitch-bent reverb, and more.
• “New” Curve Editor: Click on any slider in Stutter Edit 2 to edit its unique curve. Control the timing of your pans, stutters, gates, and distortions, and more to create truly mind-bending effects. Every parameter is your playground!
