Available for download, the iZotope Elements Bundle gives you three plug-ins in one convenient package. For mixing purposes, you get Neutron Elements, a channel-strip plug-in with single-band dynamics controls and static and dynamic EQs. For the restoration and repair of audio, RX Elements comes to the rescue, providing four useful modules from RX 6, alongside RX's powerful spectral editor for standalone, time- / frequency-based edits. Lastly, Ozone Elements introduces you to mastering audio in the Ozone platform, providing simplified macro controls, seventy presets, and their well-regarded IRC Maximizer algorithm. This software bundle works on Mac OS X and Windows platforms, operating in AAX Native, AudioSuite, RTAS, AU, and VST formats. RX Elements also works as a standalone application.
Available for download, iZotope's Neutron Elements is designed to be an introduction to iZotope's Neutron mixing algorithms, giving you the compressor, equalizer, exciter, and a transient shaper of its bigger sibling in largely single-band versions. As with Neutron Standard, the Elements version offers an intelligent Track Assistant that help you quickly identify potential problem areas in a track. Furthermore, Neutrino is provided to help maintain the clarity, focus, and separation of individual tracks across a mix. Over 200 presets are provided to get you started.
This plug-in is available for Mac and Windows platforms. There is no standalone version, but you can operate the software within VST, AU, AAX and RTAS formats.

Available for download, Ozone Elements by iZotope has been designed to give beginners a simple and effective tool to use when mastering audio in their productions. It utilizes the same technology of the well-regarded Ozone bundle, but compacts all the variable controls of Ozone into a variety of presets—over 70 in all, divvied into genre-specific, artist-signature, and all-purpose categories.
Choosing a preset will instantiate a suitable EQ curve and compression setting. These will stay under the hood, so to speak, but after selecting a preset, you can tweak the EQ and Dynamics sliders to dial in the amount of EQ or compression you'd like to bring to the track. Once these settings have been calibrated to your satisfaction, you can bring the song up to a competitive volume with the maximizer, which utilizes one of the IRC algorithms present in Ozone 7's oft-utilized plug-in suite. This plug-in works in VST, AU, RTAS, and AAX formats, and is compatible with Mac and Windows machines.
Designed to introduce users to the powerful possibilities of editing audio within the RX platform, iZotope’s RX Elements comprises four of the real-time modules inside of RX 6 alongside their standalone audio editor, thus giving you the ability to use spectral editing to visualize audio and make precision adjustments to the frequency spectrum. The software is available for download and can operate either as a standalone application or as a plug-in for Mac- and Windows-based DAWs and NLEs. Thus, it is suitable for editing audio and audio-for-video.
The four modules, which double as plug-ins, are De-click, De-clip, De-hum, and Voice De-noise. Each module is quite useful in its own right: De-click allows you to eliminate troublesome clicks or pops that can arise from any number of errant issues, while De-clip can significantly improve the quality of audio that has been pushed past the digital ceiling into the realms of unpleasant distortion. De-hum is useful in eliminating unwanted droning elements from recordings (refrigerator hums and the like). The zero-latency Voice De-noise, on the other hand, has been designed to focus on dialogue and sung vocals alike, giving you an optional Adaptive mode that can adjust to a changing noise floor in real time, as well as optimization modes for dialogue and music. When optimized for music, Voice De-noise can attenuate unwanted background noise from air conditioners, or street noise from sung vocals in apartment-recording scenarios.
Offline editing is also possible with RX Elements. In the standalone audio editor, you can implement the module chain to quicken your flow, normalize audio, address its polarity, change its gain, and more. Additionally, you can use the spectral-editing capabilities to select specific parts of the frequency band and process only your selections—a useful tool for taming an unwanted frequency bloom, for example.
