Where Does iZotope Neutron Store Presets?
Neutron keeps custom presets as XML in Documents iZotope on desktop, with factory banks beside the install per version.
Last updated
Neutron splits presets the iZotope way. Factory banks install with the plugin under Program Files or system Application Support. Your customs land in Documents under an iZotope folder with the product name in it. Each major version gets its own tree.
That versioning decides backups. Copy the folder matching the Neutron you actually run. The preset manager Change button relocates customs to bigger drives, which suits mix rigs with small system disks.
Where iZotope Neutron stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\iZotope\Neutron\Presets
Custom XML presets per version with User subfolders. Factory banks live under Program Files\iZotope. Use Change in the preset manager to relocate.
~/Documents/iZotope/Neutron/Presets
Same Documents relative layout for customs. Newer factory presets sit in /Library/Application Support/iZotope instead. Check permissions when presets vanish.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install downloaded Neutron presets?
Drop the XML files into the User Presets folder for your Neutron version, then hit reload in the preset manager. Keep version folders apart, since older banks do not always load cleanly in newer builds. The Change button remaps the folder when Documents fills up.
How do I move Neutron presets to a new machine?
Copy the Documents iZotope tree for your version with the DAW closed. Factory presets reinstall with the plugin. Newer builds moved Mac factory content to Application Support, so old guides point at the wrong tree.
