iZotope Nectar 3 Plus

Full Description

Remain in key at all times

One of the main drawbacks of conventional pitch correction or all-in-one vocal suites is their clunky and difficult-to-navigate parameters. Nectar 3 Plus strips all of the complicated interfaces away and presents a beautifully visual module with a faster and easier workflow than ever before. A crucial aspect of creating professional vocals, the Pitch Module automatically detects your vocals register and gives you transparent pitch correction to match the tonality of your music.

Let Nectar take care of everything for you

Ever wanted to click one button and be done? Finished, polished and mix-ready in one click? It's now possible. Nectar 3 Plus' Vocal Assistant can create custom presets for your vocals to sit within a mix in just one click. Like having a professional come in, take care of the work for you and leave without saying anything, Vocal Assistant listens to your audio, detects level inconsistencies, finds harsh resonances, analysis the timbre and more. After this, Vocal Assistant then uses the 14 onboard core modules to create a perfectly balanced, in-tune and professional-sounding vocal in one click.

Inter-plugin communication

Nectar 3 Plus talks to other iZotope plug-ins in your sessions, ensuring you can complete complex mixing tasks with ease. Compare your vocal processing against other components in a mix to help unmask some clashing frequencies and instruments, and carve space in a mix for your vocals by balancing frequencies with total control or meter levels against other elements of your mix for a cohesive and balanced sound.

Signature iZotope design

Designed to maintain their status as industry leaders, Nectar 3 Plus is the pinnacle of audio plug-in design. Streamlined and ultra-modern graphical interfaces are combined with innovative algorithms to provide an elite plug-in from top to bottom. Tailor to your requirements with the resizable interface, interface with key module settings, enable exciting metering animations and more for a visual plug-in experience like no other.

Edit, mix and transform vocals from start to finish

Addressing every aspect of a vocal recording, Nectar 3 Plus offers 14 core modules which all take on a single process in your production. Creative modules such as reverbs and delays are included along with more functional modules such as compression, and dynamic EQ and is rounded out with pre-mix issues such as auto-levelling and breath removal.

No compromise EQ for your vocals

New to Nectar 3 Plus are two new 24-band dynamic EQ modules. Designed specifically for vocals with a transparent sound, the dynamic EQ modules are perfect for corrective and creative applications. Whether you're looking to dynamically reduce an unwanted resonant note or enhance certain frequencies in specific sections, the Nectar 3 Plus dynamic EQs don't alter the character of your vocal performance, unless you want them to!

Adjust your EQ by musical notes

Designed to maintain the core sound of any monophonic incoming audio signal, the transparent asymmetrical EQ algorithms allow you to adjust the frequency response of your audio based on the musical pitch of your track. Tracking in real-time, Follow EQ mode enables you to explore frequency adjustments based on the relative musical note being played by the incoming audio signal, allowing for more transparent tonal shaping over traditional static EQs.

Fix every aspect of a vocal performance

It's not just the dialogue or singing that encompasses a vocal performance, there are also the breaths in between speech. To combat this, Nectar 3 Plus is also bundled with iZotope's RX 8 Breath Control software, designed to intelligently remove unwanted breaths without interfering with the speech and without introducing artefacts to your sound. Ideal for quickly cleaning up your vocal recordings before going on to mix and master them, RX 8 offers a lightning-fast workflow to keep your creative momentum running.

The complete vocal pitch package

With Nectar 3 Plus, not only do you get access to the built-in pitch correction module, iZotope has partnered with Celemony to include Melodyne 5 Essential completely free. Trusted by GRAMMY award-winning engineers, Melodyne 5 Essential is a highly-transparent pitch correction plug-in that's packaged in an incredibly intuitive and unrestricted interface.
