iZotope Everything Bundle Review

This is not a curated collection of complementary tools from a single workflow; it’s essentially an entire professional audio production infrastructure in one purchase, covering everything from dialogue repair and audio restoration through to mastering, mixing, vocal production, creative effects, synthesis, and beyond.

iZotope has spent over two decades building tools that solve specific, difficult problems in audio production, and the Everything Bundle is the full expression of that work. I think what makes it genuinely different from other large bundles is that so many of the included tools are genuinely best-in-class for their specific purpose rather than competent alternatives to better-known options.

RX for audio repair, Ozone for mastering, Neutron for mixing, Nectar for vocals: these are all tools that set the standard for their categories rather than following it.

For producers, mixing engineers, and post-production professionals who work across multiple disciplines and want a toolkit that genuinely covers all of them at a professional level, this bundle is worth the investment. The pricing reflects the breadth of what’s included, and the inter-plugin communication through iZotope’s ecosystem adds workflow value beyond what any single tool provides on its own.

Cascadia

Cascadia is iZotope’s delay plugin with a character rooted in analog and tape delay hardware, covering the range from clean, subtle repeats through to warmer, more degraded vintage-style echoes.

It includes modulation controls for adding pitch movement to the delay tails and filtering options for shaping how each repeat evolves tonally as it decays.

Tonal Balance Control 3

Tonal Balance Control 3 is one of the most useful additions to the bundle for anyone who works across both mixing and mastering. It analyzes the frequency balance of your mix in real time and compares it against a library of reference targets derived from professionally mastered commercial recordings, giving you a visual confirmation of whether your mix’s tonal balance falls within the expected range for your genre rather than relying entirely on monitoring environment trust.

• Real-time tonal balance analysis across low, mid, and high frequency regions with a visual display showing how your mix relates to genre-specific target curves
• Inter-plugin communication with Neutron 5, Ozone 12, and Nectar 4, allowing you to adjust EQ in those plugins directly from the Tonal Balance Control interface without switching windows
• Multiple reference targets covering different genre and production style standards
• Metering and analysis that works as a separate plugin on any track or bus in your session

I found Tonal Balance Control 3 most useful as a reality check tool during mixing, specifically for catching low-mid buildup and high-frequency deficits that are easy to miss when you’ve been listening to the same session for hours.

Neoverb

Neoverb is iZotope’s AI-assisted reverb plugin that uses machine learning to suggest reverb settings based on the source material and applies them in an algorithmic reverb with additional control options including a unique reverb blend control that mixes between three reverb character modes simultaneously.

RX 11 Advanced

RX 11 Advanced is the most technically significant plugin in the bundle and the one that most clearly demonstrates iZotope’s position in the industry. It’s the industry standard tool for audio repair, dialogue cleanup, noise removal, and spectral editing, used in film, television, podcast, and music production by engineers who need to fix audio problems that no other software can address as effectively.

The core of RX is its spectral repair engine, which displays audio as a visual spectrogram and allows you to select, isolate, and process specific areas of the frequency-time space rather than applying processing to the full signal. This means you can remove a single cough from the middle of a vocal phrase, eliminate a squeaky chair that overlaps with dialogue, repair a distorted section of an otherwise clean recording, or extract a musical performance from a noisy environment with a precision that simply wasn’t possible with traditional audio editing tools.

• Dialogue Isolation uses machine learning to separate voice from background noise, music, and ambient sound, which is the most practically significant new capability for anyone working with location dialogue
• Music Rebalance allows you to adjust the relative level of vocals, bass, drums, and other instruments in a finished mix without stems, which is one of those features that sounds impossible until you actually use it
• Repair Assistant analyzes audio automatically and suggests the appropriate combination of processing modules based on what it identifies in the signal
• De-noise, De-click, De-crackle, De-hum, and De-plosive modules each target specific artifact types with dedicated algorithms optimized for that specific problem
• Spectral De-noise with learning mode that can profile and remove consistent background noise from any recording
• Breath Control that detects and reduces breath sounds automatically while preserving the natural character of the vocal performance

I must say RX 11 is the plugin in this bundle I’d choose if I could only keep one. The ability to rescue recordings that would otherwise be unusable is genuinely irreplaceable in any professional audio context.

Ozone 12 Advanced

Ozone 12 Advanced is iZotope’s mastering suite, and it’s the most comprehensive single-plugin mastering environment available. It combines EQ, dynamic EQ, multiband compression, transient shaping, spectral shaping, imaging, limiting, and AI-assisted processing in a single plugin with an inter-connected signal chain that allows all of these tools to work together as a unified mastering processor.

• Master Assistant analyzes your track and suggests an initial mastering chain configuration based on the genre and character of the audio, including EQ, dynamics, and limiter settings as a starting point
• AI-powered Tonal Balance EQ that references a database of commercially mastered tracks to suggest equalization moves that bring your track’s tonal balance in line with genre standards
• Spectral Shaper for dynamic frequency-specific processing that responds to the incoming signal rather than applying static EQ curves
• Imager for stereo width control across multiple frequency bands independently, allowing you to manage the stereo image of the low end, mid-range, and high frequencies separately
• Stabilizer for managing low-frequency consistency and keeping the sub-bass content predictable across playback systems
• Maximizer limiter with multiple limiting algorithms covering transparent, intelligent, and IRC limiting modes for different loudness targets and styles
• Master Rebalance that can adjust the perceived level of individual elements within a finished mix even at the mastering stage

I love how Ozone 12 handles the communication between its modules: the EQ, dynamics, and imager all have access to each other’s processing state, which allows the kind of integrated decision-making that hardware mastering chains achieve through the physical interaction of their components.

Nectar 4 Advanced

Nectar 4 Advanced is iZotope’s dedicated vocal production suite, and I think it’s one of the most practically complete vocal processing environments in a single plugin. It covers pitch correction, harmony generation, dynamics, de-essing, saturation, reverb, delay, and vocal doubling, with an AI-assisted workflow that helps you get a usable result quickly before you fine-tune the details.

• Vocal Assistant analyzes the incoming vocal and suggests a processing configuration including dynamics, EQ, and effects settings based on the character of the performance
• Pitch correction with both correction and natural performance modes, covering everything from subtle tuning to dramatic pitch effects
• Harmony generation that creates additional vocal voices from the original performance with controllable pitch intervals and characters
• Unmask feature that communicates with Neutron 5 to automatically EQ the vocal and the backing track to prevent frequency masking between them without requiring manual routing
• Voice-focused EQ and dynamics designed specifically for the frequency and dynamic characteristics of the human voice rather than adapted from general-purpose processing tools
• Breath and noise control integrated into the vocal chain for managing performance artifacts before they reach the rest of the processing

For me, Nectar 4’s most compelling feature is how the Unmask communication with Neutron works in practice: the vocal automatically creates space for itself in the mix by intelligently adjusting both the vocal’s EQ and the instruments competing with it, which is a genuinely smart way to solve one of the most time-consuming mixing problems.

Neutron 5

iZotope’s AI-assisted mixing plugin represents one of the most genuinely useful applications of machine learning in audio production. Neutron 5 combines EQ, dynamic EQ, compression, transient shaper, exciter, and a limiter in a single plugin with an AI analysis system that can suggest starting settings for any source based on what it identifies in the signal.

• Mix Assistant analyzes all Neutron instances across your session and suggests level and panning relationships between tracks based on genre and target mix characteristics
• Track Assistant analyzes individual tracks and suggests EQ and dynamics settings as a starting point for the specific source type
• Visual Mixer that shows all tracks using Neutron across your session in a single interface where you can adjust levels, panning, and width without switching tracks
• Unmask analysis that identifies frequency competition between tracks and suggests EQ adjustments to create separation
• Dynamic EQ with both manual and AI-assisted modes for frequency-specific dynamic processing

I appreciate Neutron 5 most in complex mixing sessions where getting a rough balance quickly is valuable: the Mix Assistant can establish a coherent starting point for level relationships across thirty tracks in the time it would take to manually set gains by ear on five of them.

Aurora

This one is iZotope’s algorithmic reverb plugin, focused on creating large, evolving, and spatially complex reverb spaces with a character that leans toward the cinematic and ambient rather than toward realistic room simulation.

• Multi-stage reverb architecture with pre-delay, early reflections, and late reverb tail stages that can be individually shaped
• Modulation controls for adding movement and evolution to the reverb tail over time
• Spectral shaping of the reverb itself for controlling the tonal character of the reflections independently from the source signal

I’d say Aurora is the right reverb in this bundle for cinematic and atmospheric applications where you want a space that feels larger than any real room.

FXEQ

FXEQ is a straightforward equalizer covering the standard filter shapes with a clean interface. It handles basic EQ tasks efficiently across mixing and post-production contexts without the advanced features of more specialized tools like Neutron’s EQ or Ozone’s spectral tools. A reliable workhorse for everyday EQ decisions.

Velvet

Velvet is iZotope’s de-esser plugin, designed for controlling sibilance on vocals and other sources where harsh high-frequency transients create listening fatigue or inconsistency in the mix.

It applies frequency-selective dynamic attenuation to the sibilant range with threshold and sensitivity controls that let you dial in how aggressively the processing engages.

VocalSynth 2

VocalSynth 2 is a creative vocal effects plugin that transforms and processes vocal recordings through synthesis-inspired processing including vocoder, talkbox, polyvox, biovox, and compuvox modes. It turns the voice into a synthesis source rather than treating it as an acoustic instrument to be corrected and cleaned.

• Five synthesis modes each producing a different type of synthetic vocal transformation from subtle harmonization to full vocoder synthesis
• MIDI triggering for controlling the harmonic content of the vocoder and polyvox modes from a keyboard or MIDI controller
• Built-in effects chain including distortion, delay, and filtering for further processing the transformed vocal output

I noticed that VocalSynth 2 works best when you approach it as a creative instrument rather than a processing tool: the results that sound most interesting tend to come from committing to a specific mode and then shaping the output rather than keeping the settings conservative.

Trash

Trash is iZotope’s multiband distortion and saturation plugin, covering a wide range of distortion characters from tube warmth through bit crushing and beyond. Its signal chain includes filtering before and after the distortion stage, allowing you to shape what frequency content enters the distortion and what the output sounds like separately, which gives it more creative flexibility than single-stage distortion tools.

• Multiple distortion algorithms covering analog, digital, and creative distortion types
• Pre and post distortion filtering for controlling the tonal character independently from the distortion character
• Multiband operation for applying different distortion types to different frequency ranges simultaneously

Stutter Edit 2

Stutter Edit 2 is a real-time glitch and stutter effects plugin that creates rhythmic, chopped, and manipulated audio effects from incoming audio in real time. It’s controlled via MIDI, with different MIDI notes triggering different types of stutter and rhythmic manipulation effects, making it primarily a performance and live processing tool.

• MIDI-triggered effect triggering where each key activates a different combination of gates, filters, delays, and pitch effects
• Tempo-synced processing that locks the stutter effects to the project BPM
• Customizable effect assignments per MIDI note for building personalized performance mappings

Equinox

Equinox is iZotope’s reverb plugin, providing algorithmic spatial processing suited to both natural room simulation and more atmospheric, creative spaces. It covers the standard reverb parameters including pre-delay, size, damping, and tail length, with a character that works across mixing and sound design applications.

Insight 2

Insight 2 is iZotope’s professional metering suite covering loudness, spectrum, spectrogram, phase correlation, and stereo field analysis across multiple display modes. It’s a comprehensive monitoring and analysis tool for mixing, mastering, and broadcast delivery.

• LUFS integrated and short-term loudness metering with configurable targets for different delivery standards
• True peak metering with inter-sample peak detection for streaming and broadcast compliance
• Spectrum and spectrogram displays for frequency analysis alongside the loudness metering
• Stereo field visualization with goniometer and correlation metering

Dialogue Match

Dialogue Match is an AI-assisted dialogue production tool specifically designed for film and television post-production, where matching the tonal character and acoustic environment of dialogue recorded in different locations, at different times, or with different microphones is a constant technical challenge.

• Automatic analysis of reference and target dialogue recordings with AI-assisted matching suggestions
• Spectral matching EQ that adjusts the frequency response of the target to match the reference
• Room tone matching for aligning the ambient and reverberant character between differently recorded sections

I want to note that Dialogue Match is a genuinely specialized tool for post-production workflows rather than a general mixing utility, and its inclusion in the bundle reflects the breadth of the Everything Bundle’s scope across production disciplines.

VEA

VEA (Vocal Era Assistant) is an AI-driven vocal leveler and dynamics tool that automatically manages the dynamic range of a vocal performance to achieve consistent levels without the pumping and breathing artifacts that traditional compression can introduce at the settings required for similar results.

Crush Pack

The Crush Pack is a collection of three creative distortion and bit-crushing plugins: Bite (bit crushing and sample rate reduction), Dirt (analog-style overdrive), and Freak (ring modulation and frequency shifting). Together they cover the lo-fi, glitchy, and aggressive distortion territory useful in electronic music and creative sound design.

Mod Pack

The Mod Pack brings together three modulation effect plugins: Choral (ensemble and chorus), Flair (flanger), and Phasis (phaser). Each covers its specific modulation type with character controls ranging from subtle and transparent to deep and dramatic, suited to both mixing applications and creative effects processing.

Raum

Raum is a compact algorithmic reverb from Native Instruments with three reverb modes covering room, hall, and cosmic space characters. It’s a clean, efficient reverb tool with a simple interface that covers standard reverb applications without deep configuration requirements.

Supercharger GT

Supercharger GT is a tube-style compressor plugin with a simplified control set covering gain, compression amount, character, and mix. It’s designed for fast, musical compression with analog warmth rather than precise dynamic management, making it useful for adding presence and energy to individual tracks and buses quickly.

Guitar Rig 7 Pro

Guitar Rig 7 Pro is Native Instruments’ comprehensive guitar and bass amplifier simulation suite, and its inclusion in the iZotope Everything Bundle significantly expands the bundle’s territory into instrument production. It includes over 100 amps, cabinets, and effects, covering the full range of guitar and bass tones from clean jazz through to high-gain metal.

• 100+ amp models covering vintage American clean tones, British crunch, modern high-gain, and bass amplification
• Cabinet simulation with multiple microphone positions and room characteristics per cabinet
• Full effects chain including stompbox-style pedals and rack-mount effects for comprehensive signal chain building
• Kontrol integration for hardware control surface mapping
• Routing flexibility for building parallel and serial signal chains between components

I think Guitar Rig 7 Pro is particularly well-suited for producers who don’t have dedicated amp simulation software and need to cover guitar and bass production comprehensively alongside the mixing and mastering tools in the rest of the bundle.

Replika XT

Replika XT is Native Instruments’ delay plugin with five delay modes covering tape, analog, digital, diffusion, and neural delay characters. Each mode has a distinct sonic character and the neural mode uses machine learning to create a unique algorithmic delay behavior.

• Five delay modes with genuinely distinct characters ranging from clean digital precision to warm analog degradation
• Modulation and filtering per mode for shaping the character of the delay echoes
• Diffusion mode for creating reverb-like smearing from the delay algorithm

Solid Mix Series

The Solid Mix Series is a collection of SSL-inspired mixing tools including a bus compressor, EQ, and channel strip modeled on SSL console circuits. These cover the specific tonal character and dynamic behavior of SSL hardware in a form optimized for high track count mixing sessions.

Driver

Driver is a distortion filter plugin designed specifically for adding drive, grit, and character to individual tracks and buses in electronic music production. It covers the specific type of aggressive but controlled distortion common in techno, drum and bass, and industrial electronic production.

Plasma

Plasma is a plugin designed for adding harmonic saturation and drive from tube amplifier circuit emulations. It covers the spectrum from gentle tube warmth through to more aggressive tube overdrive, making it useful for both subtle character enhancement and more deliberate distortion effects.

Transient Master

Transient Master is a transient shaping plugin from Native Instruments with a simplified four-knob interface covering attack and sustain shaping for both fast and slow transient content. It’s one of the most straightforward and immediately useful transient shapers available, providing significant results with minimal configuration.

Melodyne

Melodyne is Celemony’s pitch and time editing tool, and its inclusion in the iZotope Everything Bundle is one of the most significant value additions in the collection. Melodyne is the industry standard for polyphonic pitch editing, note correction, and timing adjustment across both monophonic and polyphonic material.

• DNA (Direct Note Access) technology for editing individual notes within chords and polyphonic recordings rather than only monophonic single-note material
• Pitch, timing, formant, and amplitude editing per individual note in the audio recording
• Algorithm selection for different source types including melodic, percussive, polyphonic, and harmonic material
• ARA integration in compatible DAWs for editing audio directly in the timeline without bouncing or routing

I’d say Melodyne alone justifies a significant portion of the bundle’s cost for producers and engineers who regularly work with vocal correction and pitch editing. The polyphonic editing capability in particular is something that no other tool provides at the same level.

Brainworx bx_delay 2500

The bx_delay 2500 is Brainworx’s analog-inspired delay plugin with mid-side processing capability, allowing independent delay settings for the center and sides of the stereo image. This is particularly useful for adding spatial depth to mixes without compromising mono compatibility.

Brainworx bx_saturator v2

The bx_saturator v2 is a mid-side saturation plugin that applies harmonic saturation independently to the mid and side channels of the stereo image, allowing you to add warmth and harmonic richness to the center image while managing how much saturation reaches the stereo width elements.

Brainworx bx_subsynth

The bx_subsynth is a sub-bass synthesizer and enhancement plugin that generates and synthesizes low-frequency content from incoming audio. It’s particularly useful for reinforcing kick drums and bass elements whose fundamental frequency is too low to translate on consumer playback systems by generating harmonically related content in the range where smaller speakers can reproduce it.

Brainworx bx_cleansweep pro

The bx_cleansweep pro is a high-pass and low-pass filtering plugin with separate filters for the mid and side channels of the stereo image. It handles the standard task of clearing unnecessary low-end from individual tracks and preventing high-frequency buildup, with the additional control of being able to apply different filter settings to the center and sides independently.

Pricing

The iZotope Everything Bundle is the largest investment on this list by a meaningful margin, reflecting the breadth and depth of what’s included. iZotope runs regular promotional periods where the price drops significantly from the standard retail price, and they offer upgrade pricing for producers who already own individual iZotope products.
