Neutron 3 Elements
Neutron 3 Elements is an audio mixing and mastering plugin from iZotope, available as an AudioUnit (AU) for use within macOS digital audio workstations and other compatible host applications.

Neutron 3 Elements is part of iZotope's larger Neutron product family and ships as a plugin rather than as a standalone application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNeutron 3 Elements is an audio plugin that updates through the iZotope Product Portal, not through a standalone download or the Mac App Store. According to iZotope's release notes, native Apple Silicon support was added in version 4.4.0 (March 2023), and the latest version (5.2.0, released February 2026) explicitly supports both native and Rosetta operation on Apple Silicon Macs. To ensure you have the native build, open iZotope Product Portal on your Mac and check for updates — it will automatically serve you the native version if your DAW and system meet the minimum requirements (macOS Ventura or later). Simply reinstalling or re-downloading from iZotope's website will update the plugin. No special beta channel or opt-in is required — the current public release of Neutron 3 Elements runs natively on Apple Silicon.
