When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. iZotope Neutron 5 is named in these steps:
- Mix and master, step 2 of 5, when you asked for privacy: Neutron 5 Elements ($55 once); the step also names iZotope Ozone, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
Alternatives the same rules name
- iZotope Ozone: Mastering software whose Master Assistant listens to your mix and proposes a starting mastering chain; it finishes a mix, it does not write one. From $55 once.
