It includes fluid-like metering, the interface is fully resizable, there’s a heads-up display, and the tooltips are simple, but still very helpful.Įach module has been cleaned up in one way or another from the previous version, but some upgrades are more notable than others. Nectar 3’s EQ now has a follow EQ mode, dynamic mode, and solo-band mode. Nectar 2’s GUI wasn’t something that I was particularly fond of before, but Nectar 3 is much more modern-looking. If you’re unfamiliar with Visual Mixer, it allows you to visualize the soundstage of your mix and gives you control over the volume, pan, and stereo width of any Neutron 2 module or plug-in.
Various new global controls have been added to Nectar 3, including auto level mode, output pan, output width, a limiter, bypass gain match, wet/dry module controls, and control within Neutron 2’s Visual Mixer. Although these are all great features, the real power of Relay comes from its ability to communicate with iZotope’s Visual Mixer, Insight 2, and Nectar 3, which allows you to make use of their more advanced capabilities (e.g., Nectar 3’s masking feature). Relay provides various functions that you would expect of a utility plug-in, such as a high pass filter, phase and mono controls, pan and width sliders, and delay time control. It’s a utility that communicates with compatible iZotope plug-ins within your DAW. Relay is a brand new plug-in from iZotope that’s included with Nectar 3. To make use of unmask mode, you’ll need an instance of Nectar 3, Relay, or Neutron 2 applied to the other track. Unmask mode will carve out space for the vocal by comparing it to another audio track and correcting any frequency masking. Assist mode will listen to your audio and create a custom preset to fit your vocal in the mix. Its new Vocal Assistant tool can help you in two ways. Nectar 3 has lots of great features that didn’t exist in version 2. If there were any Nectar 2 presets that you were particularly fond of, Nectar 3 has a Nectar 2 Legacy folder that contains presets from the previous version. Many people looking to use Nectar 3 are likely trying to find an all-in-one vocal processing solution. Nectar 3 answers this call by providing a great selection of presets for general vocal cleanup, dialogue, and processing for various genres of music. Each module can be applied once into your signal chain, except for the EQ and compressor which can be applied twice. Nectar includes all of the tools you need to process vocals, and the devices are broken down into rearrangeable modules that you chain together. Nectar consists of a pitch editor, compressor, de-esser, delay, dimension module (chorus, flanger, phaser), EQ, gate, harmony engine, reverb, and saturator.
Today we’ll dive deep into Nectar 3 and see what it can lend to your vocal productions. This third incarnation of Nectar has undergone a complete rework, improving upon many of the features found in Nectar 2. Nectar allows you to apply everything from corrective to creative processing, transforming raw vocals into a finished product. Nectar 3 is iZotope‘s dedicated vocal processing toolkit plug-in, that aims to come equipped with everything you need to control and enhance vocal performances. Offering everything from EQ and dynamics processing to pitch correction and more, iZotope aims for Nectar 3 to be a one-stop shop for all of your vocal processing needs.
