The plugin integrates into Digital Audio Workstations that support VST architecture.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNeutron 2 Gate is an audio plugin component, not a standalone application, and is managed through iZotope's product ecosystem. To ensure this VST plugin is available as a native Apple Silicon build, you need to update it via the iZotope Product Portal, which is iZotope's official plugin manager and installer. Open the iZotope Product Portal, check for available updates, and reinstall or update Neutron 2 and its included components including the Gate plugin. This will pull the latest native builds for any M-series Mac you are running. iZotope has shipped native Apple Silicon versions of Neutron and most of its component plugins since Neutron 9 and later releases, so if your installation is current, you should already have the native build. If you are running an older version from before native support was added, updating through the Product Portal will switch you to the native version. After September 2028, when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, any Intel-only plugin builds will stop loading in your DAW, so keeping iZotope products current through the official Product Portal is essential.
