Note : Nectar 3 Plus includes an improved version of the Vocal assistant: "Unmask" allows more control of the vocal tracks, and to stand out better and more transparently from the Mix.
iZotope enters the third round with Nectar, which allows you to add vocals at the right place in the Mix. First introduced in 2010, Nectar has found a place in studios around the world, providing world-class tools to get professional results in seconds. With version 3, Nectar helps your vocal tracks sing by addressing every part of the vocal production chain, providing valuable support functions 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 a clear, professional sound.
Vocal Assistant (Unmasked)Nectar's Vocal Assistant is a handy virtual pair of "ears" that analyzes incoming signals and automatically alerts the user to volume, resonance, timbre and harsh frequency problems. Its intelligent algorithm additionally establishes a starting point for mixing, in which eg. Compressor and EQ settings are changed. After the process, all parameters can be changed at will to give the mix your own touch.
The Vocal Assistant Unmasked works with the so-called Inter-Plugin Communication and automatically detects frequencies that overlap on several audio tracks. It makes sure that "space" is freed up in the frequency range for the vocals by comparing the information and applying appropriate EQ settings. By the way, this communication between plugins also takes place with other plugins from iZotope (Neutron 2 Advanced, Relay).
