iZotope goes into the third round with Nectar and allows you to add vocal recordings at the right place in the mix. Launched in 2010, Nectar has found its place in studios around the world and offers world-class tools to achieve professional results in seconds. With version 3, Nectar supports your vocal tracks in singing by addressing every part of the vocal production chain, providing valuable help and communication capabilities for your entire session. From correction to creative vocal production to finish, Nektar 3 brings out your intended performance in isolation and in the context of the mix. Put your vocals in the right place with everything you need for clear, professional sound.
Nectars Vocal Assistant is a handy virtual pair of "ears" that analyzes incoming signals and automatically displays volume, resonance, timbre and harsh frequency problems to the user. Its intelligent algorithm also provides a starting point for mixing, e.g. by changing compressor and EQ settings. After the process, all parameters can be changed as desired to give the mix its own note.
The Vocal Assistant Unmasked works with the so-called Inter-Plugin Communication and automatically detects frequencies that overlap with several audio tracks. It ensures that "space" in the frequency domain is freed up for the vocals by comparing the information and applying appropriate EQ settings. This communication between plugins also takes place with other plugins from iZotope (Neutron 2 Advanced, Relay).
Nectar 3 now has two new and dynamic 24-band EQs with special features. These EQs serve both corrections and creative processes. The new Follow EQ mode also allows direct, dynamic pitch tracking, eliminating the need to manually edit individual resonance frequencies and overtones to actively shape timbre and tone.
Each module in Nectar 3 has been redesigned with your time and experience in mind. Underscored by state-of-the-art and luxurious graphics, Nektar 3 integrates your actions directly with what you see in its gentle, delightful visualizations. With new ways to interact with key module settings, a resizable user interface, exciting measurement animations, and new context-sensitive selection settings, it's a visual experience so fluid you won't want to use sliders and faders anymore.
Your complete vocal chain
Nectar 3 treats each part of the work with vocals after recording. With fourteen core components that directly address vocal mixing in one package, Nectar 3 solves pre-mix problems such as auto leveling, breath removal and correction EQ, creative processes such as adding depth, effects and character and mixing patterns such as compression, polishing and finding the perfect mix placement. From the recording to the creation is everything from a single source.
Catch every breath
Nektar 3 is also included with iZotope RX Breath Control, which is designed to intelligently detect and automatically suppress breaths in dialogue or vocal recordings, saving valuable time in the composition and preparation phase of vocal editing.
Celemony Melodyne 4 essential
As an additional benefit of the integrated pitch correction module of Nectar 3, iZotope has partnered with Celemony to record Melodyne 4 essential: GRAMMY-awarded pitch and time correction. Melodyne offers surgical, intuitive and truly transparent pitch adjustment functions that are standard in professional studios around the world.
