Our View

There is no doubt that iZotope produces high quality music software. So getting your hands on 52 of them puts any producer or engineer into a plush position.

Adding not just the latest Neutron 4, but also plugins from the Soundwide partner brainworx, and the reverb specialist Exponential Audio, increase your possibilities.

Whether version 5 is worth buying, or upgrading to, is a more difficult decision. The Full Price is very high at $1,000. However, when you look at the upgrade options, which leave the door open to anyone buying the bundle for $400, at less than $10 per module, Music Production Suite 5 looks a bit better value for money.
