NP...some don't go there...so they'll see it here!
 

That's disappointing to hear.  I'll check it out when I get home.

This plug's effect is indeed subtle, but it's there. My ears tell me the Amount knob dials in some slow-release compression, and there's a bit of high shelf EQ and/or harmonic excitement controlled by the "Detail" knob.
 
Try putting two or three of them in series and you should be able to hear what Neutrino does pretty easily.
 
Now the question is, why would you want to use this, when you can more readily control the sound with normal tools? I dunno about that.
 
Edit: inserting Neutrino on every track of a mix helped gel things together. I'd say the effect is similar to what you get from VCC or other console emulations, but with enough compression to solidify the mix a bit. Again, it's subtle. But I like it! Thanks, iZotope.
 
Cheers,

Poor old Sonar ignored as usual...

OT: Considering that both iZotope and Cakewalk are Massachusetts based companies and almost next door neighbors, I always find that silence a bit strange. They are in the same business and not exactly competitors, so they ought to be best friends and support each other. But I never see any of that.
 
There seems to be only a mile and a half (or two km) between the two company’s offices, but maybe that Charles River is a really big divider, kind of like the River Styx? What do I know.

Agree completely with Eddie...but with a different conclusion.  It DOES do something and MIGHT be useful if used like a console emu or some such and, after all, it is FREE.  That said, unless they're going to come out with some sort of paid ($49 or so) update that actually makes it a useful tool...I don't see the point.  It's got to be just Izotope establishing a marketing footprint from which to sell an actual product.  And I give it an unequivocal thumbs down. YMMV.
 

I've downloaded it a few times but when I try to "run as admin", it keeps timing out and nothing happens. I tried installing it with Norton off, too and same thing.  
Anyone? I can't seem to run it, to even install it and don't know why

I tried it on a different drum loop and the high frequency attenuation was even more pronounced. Here's the example - it's four bars with Neutrino disabled, then four bars with it enabled. Then four bars off, four bars on again.

PS This is with the "drum" setting. It wasn't that much different with the other settings.

That link isn't working for me, but can I ask where you set the controls for your test?
 
The Drum mode, to my ears, seems a bit different from the others. Maybe some transient enhancement going on there.

I can't even install the sodding thing !

Anyone come across "error 1638" when both the C++ redistributables (x86 and x64) try and install ? I can finish the installation process but Sonar plugin manager won't pick up the VST's , both 2 and 3). I'll try registering the .dll's and see if that works.

I am reluctant to uninstall the C++ 2015 files already installed (which, apparantly are newer than those to be downloaded chez MS ............ ! )

A+

I got the 1638 error but it didn't seem to affect my install as the plug seems to be operating hot straight and normal.  But, as a precaution, I downloaded a second copy just in case.
 

So I auditioned this on something a little different: I have a pack of mostly clavinet loops from Bernie Worrell [R.I.P.] (Parliament/Funkadelic, Talking Heads, TomTom Club, etc...) and I heard a very distinct effect using the Instrument setting.  Definite boost in highs and I think some additional harmonics going on there too (basically added some 'sparkle') .  That nice clean clavinet sound makes those pretty easy to hear.  I also think as Eddie TX also said that there is some compression going on too.  A little sustain, but also a little 'thickening' of the sound.  I actually quite like it.  Reminds me a little of Slate's Revival.  Another nice freebie.
