I've been demo'ing a number of the latest Izotope plugins and am impressed by the number of problems that can easily be solved with them.
Always found them to be a little too expensive and kept liking one feature from one plugin and one feature in another.... so I never bit the bullet and spent the cash.
This deal is probably too good for me to pass up - $499 includes Ozone, RX, Neutron, Nectar, Melodyne 4 Essential and others. I have no idea if this discount was common knowledge here or how long it's been going on, but I thought you guys might be interested.
Deal here:
And what's included here:

The other way (at least in the past) that seems to have worked for getting Izotope stuff at a great price is to pick up one or more of their basic elements cheap on sale and then wait (not for the regular upgrade offer, but) a cheap upgrade offer that shows up in your account periodically. Ozone 9 is an impressive plug I think. I'm not as knocked out by Nectar or some of the others. I wish Fabfilter was more like this but their sales frequency and amounts seem to happen less on both counts.

And the key on top of that is to use Best Services, as was recently discussed around here re: Toontrack. I’ve gotten some great iZotope deals from them.

I use Music Production Suite 3 on every mix. From Neutron 3 to Ozone 9 and the insight metering plugin get used extensively. You could easily do an entire mix with nothing but this bundle.

or you could buy PhoenixVerb for $10 and get the crossgrade for $400: pluginboutiqueI'm considering a similar crossgrade to the Tonal Balance Bundle for $200: pluginboutiqueTonal Balance Control, Ozone 9 Advanced, Neutron 3 Advanced, Nectar 3, RX7 Breath Control, Relay & Melodyne 4 Essential. No full RX7, VocalSynth 2, Insight 2, Exponential verbs or videos as found in MPS3, but it's half the cost. |

Good info fellas.... thx
I bought it.
Features I'm really digging are the frequency/harmonic tracking eq, the spectral shaper, Master rebalance, skulptor (which is kind of like a cross between gullfoss/soothe, both of which I already own), RX's ability to perfectly deal with plosives and other extraneous sounds, the Insight metering plugin, Tonal Balance Control and particularly the Unmasking functionality using the IPC between tracks.
Amazing tools. Really like the vintage EQ module and the saturation modules as well.
Also came with a 1-year All Access pass to Groove 3 tutorials. There must be something on there worth watching, right?

How do you buy these plugins and use them in Pro Tools whilst keeping your studio workstation disconnected from the internet?
My Mac Pro towers are NEVER online. It's just not worth the risk, to me.

No full RX7, VocalSynth 2, Insight 2, Exponential verbs or videos as found in MPS3, but it's half the cost. Took the long way round on this one.. started off buying PhoenixVerb, Excalibur, and R2 on sales for $47 total, then crossgraded to the Tonal Balance Bundle for $177. Now I'm shooting a bunch of on-location outdoor musical performances and could benefit from RX7, so I just crossgraded from Tonal Balance to MPS3 for $150. In addition to RX7 Std, it adds VocalSynth 2, Insight 2 and Exponential's Nimbus and R4 to my bundle. |

The thing that always seems crazy to me is that I want to upgrade from RX Standard to RX Advanced, but the price is nuts, as far as I’m concerned. It seems a little arbitrary what’s included in Standard vs. Advanced. I need the De-Wind, but I’m not going to upgrade just for that. May as well just go Crumplepop.
EDIT: Maybe that's more my issue: the arbitrariness of what's included in one tier vs. another. I'm certainly all for software companies getting paid a fair price for their products.

Yeah, I upgraded to ozone 9, cheaper by buying the tonal balance bundle , than upgrading from existing plugs... I have RX7 standard and its used every session for noise reduction. You are right the cost of standard to advanced is really too high. Cheers Wiz |

I lump iZotope in with Waves and Avid, you buy in at one particular version number, they give you a single license and you consider it abandonware beyond that. Almost always cheaper to re-buy it a few versions down the road then pay for incremental updates. As a matter of fact, this cross grade turned out to be exactly that, the MPS3 bundle was added to my account in addition to the Tonal Balance Bundle so I now have two licenses for Ozone 9 Advanced, Neutron 3 Advanced, Nectar 3, Tonal Balance Control, etc...
