The iZotope Tonal Balance Bundle brings mixing and mastering into one interconnected workflow that will help you achieve a professional, polished sound. Use AI-Assistants that talk to each other and assist you in every step of the workflow, from achieving an initial level balance to adding the last touches to your finished product. Dec 14, 2017 Ozone 7 does EQ matching against a single reference track. This Tonal Balance Control thing seems a little different. It’s possible that the biggest difference is that they’re using lots of reference tracks at the same time and taking an average and creating windows in which your balance should live.

While there is a big part of me which treats developments in AI with a healthy suspicion, there is another part of me which approves of the Tonal Balance plug-in recently introduced by iZotope.
I fully understand the misgivings of mastering engineers who think that they will lose work. Personally, I don’t think it’s as much of a threat as some people seem to think. The example of drum machines comes to mind where the Musicians Union were deeply unimpressed with the potential effects on drummers but I think we can all agree that only the very worst drummer was ever going to lose work to a Korg Minipops.
One of the things I value above everything else is perspective. I wrote a piece about this two years ago with the intriguing title “Staying In The Goldilocks Mix Zone”. In this piece, I explained that inevitably, with repeated listens, our perspective on a mix diminishes. I know I suffer from this and my preferred way out is to collaborate. In the piece, I say that when I have someone whose opinion I trust to play my mix to “They usually don't have to say anything, Just by being there I can hear, with the fresh ears I couldn't find before, exactly what is wrong with my mix”
This is what I like about Tonal Balance. For “big picture” issues with a mix, it goes a little way towards helping with that finite and diminishing perspective I have on my mix.
What Tonal Balance is doing is performing a meta-analysis on a recording by statically comparing its spectral content with many, many other recordings. If your recording is unusually hot around 2kHz compared to every other record in the world, that might be fine but looking at the statistics it’s definitely worth checking, isn’t it?
Back to the role of mastering engineers in this. I think this, and the other AI-based alternatives, will affect the work of some mastering engineers, but the biggest difference it will make will be the quality of the recording put out by the people who were never going to a mastering engineer in the first place.
The people who were going to use presets on multi-band limiters, hopefully, will have a virtual second opinion whispering “Are you sure about that?”. I think that can’t be a bad thing?

Tonal Balance Control is a new plug-in by iZotope. It bridges EQ workflows between iZotope's latest versions of Ozone 8 mastering & Neutron 2 mixing suites. Tonal Balance Control claims to help users produce more consistent mixes and masters - tonally.
Izotope Tonal Balance Control
At the core of the Tonal Balance Control plug-in is a graphical target display that can either be set from a number of included presets or determined by loading an audio file of a let's say a previous mix.
It all sounded very exciting and I was keen to try this workflow when it launched earlier this year. The problem though, upon trying the plug-in I quickly discovered that my focus and attention went from my ears to my in eyes. I persevered but I couldn't get away from the feeling that I was no longer mixing, I was painting my numbers.
Truth be told, I've never had a problem with matching the tone of one mix to another when finishing album projects or mastering. This is an EQ listening skill that I have developed over many years. I believe this skill is extremely important for mixers to develop without using trendy shortcuts or applications such as these that promise to get better mixes by using your eyes.
While I welcome new technologies that claim to help us get better mixes and masters I think the solution that Tonal Balance Control offers isn't, in reality, all that it's cracked up to be. When I did manage to visually match the tone from one song to another I found the results sounded off. The resulting curve wasn't chosen by me, it was merely suggested and inputted by me to match the target.

It's not all bad news. Tonal Balance Control has a very useful EQ view feature that enables users to view and manipulate multiple EQ modules within Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 instances used within a single project, that's a nice time-saving feature which helps me to EQ multiple tracks all in one place.

5 mixing, creative vocal modules:
Free Tonal Balance Control Plugin
BIOVOX : Create and manipulate your natural vocal data with a new vocal module. Using scientific modeling of the human vocal tract, adjust human vocal characteristics, such as nasality, vowel characteristics and formants, to give a smooth, textured vocal treatment to any sound signal. Use surgical intervention to adapt, better fit your presentation or apply it as a creative effect to make the vocals more real, breathing or completely distort it!
VOCODER : A classic “talking synthesizer”, Vocoder gives you vocal sounds that you know and love in well-known recordings such as Michael Jackson’s PYT, with the possibility of creating something new. Choose one of 10 different presets and three different types of vocoder, as well as fine-tuning with the Shift and Scale controls. You’ve never seen a Vocoder with such flexibility!
COMPUVOX : Generally known as the Speak & Spell effect, Compuvox can digitize, split, reprogram or otherwise computerize the sound of your voice. Using it gently, you can add to the sound an interesting sound quality. By increasing the settings, you can change your sound to almost unrecognizable levels of digital chaos.
TALKBOX : Get the most fashionable sounds with the Talkbox module, celebrated by such musicians as Stevie Wonder, The Who, Peter Frampton, Bon Jovi, Chromeo, Zapp and Roger (and many others). Talkboxes can be prohibitively difficult to learn, but with VocalSynth you can get this tight classic tone with a single click!
POLYVOX : polyphonic pitch cipher. Regardless of whether you want to create natural vocal harmonies resembling a human choir, or synchronized, granular and computerized harmonies popularized by artists such as Imogen Heap or even otherworldly sounds with biased formants, the Polyvox voice generator is for you!
Effects : Improve further your vocal tracks with the help of a custom chain of vocal effects. The VocalSynth 2 effect section now allows you to change the order of the modules!
Interactive visualization : Meet the colorful animation of Anemone, which moves and grows along with the shape of your audio signal. Thanks to advanced spectral analysis, which reacts to the vocal sound characteristics, Anemone links the animation with a unique experience of measuring the audio signal.
Integration of plug-ins : VocalSynth 2 works in the ecosystem of iZotope products via cross-platform communication. Like Neutron, Ozone and Tonal Balance Control, VocalSynth 2 provides seamless integration with the necessary tools for the production and analysis of music. VocalSynth 2 can be seen in the Visual Mixer and Masking Meter from Neutron 2, as well as in Tonal Balance Control, allowing you to interact and receive visual feedback in real time.
3 ways to process : Three different modes allow you to interact with VocalSynth 2 in a way that suits your style. Useful application configuration instructions adapted to your DAW allow you to work and work easily, so you can spend more time making creative decisions:
Auto : Customize your vocal to tonality with pitch correction in real time, generate additional voices and harmonies and seamlessly mix your module settings with the intuitive VocalSynth control panel.
MIDI : Use a MIDI signal to control the pitch and effortlessly create custom vocal harmonies during the game. This repeats the experience of using a classical vocoder.
Side chain : Instead of using a synthesizer in VocalSynth, singing can be used as a carrier signal. This allows you to make any sounds “talk” or create new strange sounds, which otherwise would not be possible.
