The one thing that I wish was easier to set up on the blend pad (and this may not even be iZotope’s fault really), is the ability to automate the control so that you can actively change the blend. The blend pad is very intuitive and fun to mess around with, allowing you to audition a lot of different reverb sounds quickly to sculpt a unique sound for your mix. You can also select a plate reverb instead of the room, and a large chamber instead of the large hall sound. At each corner of the pad you have the three different reverbs that are currently in use, with short early reflections being at the top, a medium-sized room at the bottom left, and a large hall at the bottom right. Rather than have a bunch of complicated and confusing control knobs to adjust parameters, Neoverb has a large trangular shaped “pad” with an almost joystick-esque control on it. Neoverb is actually three different reverbs in one, and the blend pad allows you to use all three algorithms together or separately. One of the biggest elements of Neoverb is the blend pad, which takes up most of the plug-in screen when in use. Neoverb features reverb algorithms developed by Exponential Audio, so if you are familiar with their R4 or PhoenixVerb plug-ins you’ll get the same type of reverb “style” in Neoverb. The AI-powered eq section allows you to both EQ the sounds going into Neoverb as well as adjust the overall sound on the output. One of the big selling points on Neoverb is its ability to prevent muddiness in your mix due to reverb. Its designed as a one-stop shop plug-in to get you a great reverb sound that is unique to your project without using multiple types of reverb, and complicated routings through EQ to get the reverb to sit right. IZotope Neoverb is an “intelligent” reverb plug-in designed to take the guesswork out of applying reverb when recording/mixing.

The reverb assistant is also a great tool to get you up and running if you’re not exactly sure how much or what type of reverb you want to use, and the built-in EQ section allows you to filter out any nasty resonances or muddiness that comes with adding reverb liberally. The ability to blend and match between three different reverbs at once with a simple move of one knob allows you to focus on the reverb in a musical way rather than trying to calculate the right amount of time or level needed to fit the project. iZotope Neoverb Review (Verdict)Īll in all, iZotope Neoverb is a fun and inspiring plugin to use, and as iZotope intended, can really simplify your reverb workflow. I had some time to play around with Neoverb on some songs I am currently producing for my own musical project Out on the Weekend. While iZotope is generally known for their “utility” plug-ins, such as RX for audio repair and noise reduction, Nectar for vocal processing, and Ozone for mastering, their new plug-in, Neoverb, is iZotope’s first reverb offering. In the past few years, they have expanded into developing AI functionality within their plugins to allow you to create “intelligent” presets with their products, as well as using AI to save time and take the guesswork out of analyzing audio. IZotope has long been at the forefront of music production software, making legendary plugins that are industry standards in both music, film, and dialogue production.
