Following the news of Native Instruments joining the inMusic brand line-up, Academy and Emmy Award-winning visual effects software developer Boris FX have announced their acquisition of iZotope. The company say that the move positions them as a unified home for professional tools that span the full spectrum of audio and video post-production, with iZotope's restoration, mixing and mastering prowess complementing Boris FX’s existing catalogue of visual effects software.

“iZotope is one of the most respected names in audio, pioneering developments in machine-learning-assisted audio. The team has built its reputation by creating tools that pros reach for when projects demand perfection. We’ve held ourselves — and our visual effects — to that same standard for thirty years. Together, we offer creators a single partner committed to excellence across everything they hear and see.” - Boris Yamnitsky, CEO and Founder, Boris FX

Boris FX say that the acquisition deepens their well-established professional audio presence, which already includes trusted DAW packages Samplitude and Sequoia, as well as Sound Forge, Acid Pro, Music Studio and the AI-driven CrumplePop, and that the addition of iZotope's machine-learning research and products make them the most comprehensive independent provider of smart audio technology for music, film, television and content creation.

“Joining forces with Boris FX is a massive catalyst for what we do best: changing the industry with new innovations in audio. In Boris FX, we’ve found a partner that shares our obsession for driving creative tech forward. We can't wait to bring iZotope back to its roots with the next generation of intelligent tools.” - Todd Baker, VP of Product, iZotope

Users will be pleased to hear that all iZotope products, licenses and subscriptions will remain fully active with uninterrupted support and product development. iZotope will operate as a business unit within Boris FX, with its core engineering, product and support teams remaining in place to ensure seamless continuity.
