hi does anyone here use izotope neutron? how is your DSP usage with it? it seems to sky rocket every time i use it... any tips on how to lower the DSP?

1. Bounce all tracks to audio files and remove the originals:

2. Set the audio buffer really high in Reason Preferences - latency shouldn't really matter when you're at the point you're using Neutron (mix down);

3. close any other programs running;

4. close any Reason windows with animated graphics that you're not using - including Reason's interactive parametric EQ display, the big mixer, and the sequencer as well!

5. Only use the Neutron modules you need - don't just put a full instance of it on every channel in your mix;

6. Strongly recommend mix down to stereo and get rid of multitrack before using Ozone for mastering!

@demt: Neutron 2 still a CPU hog... May be improved (don't know, never used previous versions) but it's giving me problems...

Neutron and Isotope together really bog things down... Lots of stuttering and crackles. Same with Visual Mixer or Tonal Balance Control, when combined with either Neutron 2 or Ozone 8...

Forgot to mention in my previous post: be sure to activate Delay Compensation in Reason!
