This Geoff guy gets a gold star. He could be a professional hypnotist. I've been on board since Nectar One and this latest version really has some major improvements. I'm excited! I just got it, but haven't cracked it open yet.

@guglielmonigro 10 ай бұрын

I've already done the update. It's expensive, but here we have a completely new machine then the old Nectar. Also, the finally the possibility to use single modules as plugins. Auto-level is perfect. And in general, it's always a good start up for mixing vocals or, as happens, when you are in a hurry. Anyway, I think is a great evolution from the previous version.

In this demo the Backer voices sound great. When you listen to them separately, e.g. changing your own voice, you will probably find that most of them sound strange. And in my experience it is very hard to make that go away. I would like to see and hear more tutorials or examples of how to get this to sound right.

Thanks, including for labeling sections to which I can return, if needed. I'm excited, and it gave me $100 off winding up with Melodyne 5 Assistant, since Nectar 4 included Melodyne Essentials. I probably could have just used Mel. Ess. but wanted full mouse-dragging-level control over individual vocal nuances. I never heard "metadata" being used that way, like perceived eq profile of a vocal in a song (versus embedded text details like title or artist name). It's weird how many audio experts have my own, same, exact room and door :)

Love the Auto-Level. The Tame Noise feature is genius.Much better than Waves Vocal Rider, or using a lot of compression. I wish all the separate modules had the learn feature..lol. The Backer concept is also brilliant...it just still sounds a little wonky for me. Hopefully it will get better. All in all, this is my go to plug in, and has been for years. 4 is definitely an upgrade from 3 IMO. Great Vid!

Hi Geoff, I also own RX 10 -- for tone-matching vocal references, should I use 'Lens' as you suggested in this video, or would it perhaps be better to use 'Music Rebalance' on the 'Best' setting (which is excellent, I use it all the time) to isolate the vox within RX, and then simply train lens on the 'Capture' setting instead of 'Acapella'? Which of these methods should yield the best results? Thanks!

So, Autolevel is like Selig, right? Also, for CPU performance reasons, I assume you can have a "working track" and then bounce that to a pre-mixed/effected new track? I know that might depend upon the DAW, obviously. Does this run stand alone as well?

I have my (instrument and) vocal tracks grouped (Ableton Live 12 Standard) 1- Do you put an instance of Nectar 4 on each track, get the results you want and then on the bus/aux track (going to the master track) or just the bus/aux track or both? Thanks in advance.

Hi, iZotope vinyl does not show any percentage values when adjusting Dust, Scratches, and Wrap values. Please release a hotfix to resolve this issue. It's a very good plugin but not being able to precisely adjust our value when adjusting the dust, scratch and wrap values is really annoying.

So new to Nectar, what best way to record in, I am using nothing on insert for main vocal and using a BUS to send, that way I can get a nice sound to record but not record the BUS in...so raw in that sound good? or do I add auto level to main insert vocal and record that in.

Hi...I just purchased the Bundle with Ozone 11 Advanced, Nutron 4 Advanced, Nectar 4, etc. I'm just wondering why you'd throw ALL the audio (your mix) into the Assistant at the start...instead of just the vocal track? Is the AI that good to distinguish between the vocal, and say, a snare and midrange synth? Nice vid, and as a previous user of Ozone 10, the improvements and features in 11 Advanced are wonderful as well. You've convinced me to install Nectar 4. Guess I'll give the DSP hungry 'El Rey" a rest for the time being!

Hello Guys from izotope I bought the complete thing and sadly at the end i got no clue how the Chain would be. For example i record myself into the daw and the only plugin i put on the vocal line is antares, on the other lines are my not rendered drum mix with a ruff mix. So how is the order? can i now put nectar directly on the vocals? or do i has to render the whole song first? i cant find a tutorial on your channel where you explain it. The end result is i got everything in my projeck, put izotope 10 on the master and let it run xd. please tell me a link for detalied description in which order i has to use the programms.

I bought the upgrade from Nectar Elements to Nectar 3 PLUS. NOW you come out with Nectar 4. SO why didn't you FIRST tell me that 4 was coming out, and #2, why I would not get a special discount if I considered AGAIN upgrading to 4 now? And what are the differences between those 2 upgrades, and don't tell me to watch this video. I'd LOVE to see the Marketing DEPT do their JOB and put out a Comparison Chart for those two because I have not seen one of those on your complicated website, unless I either missed it, or it's buried somewhere, OR it's not there. Anyone know? Think I maybe be done dealing/buying from Izotope for awhile, like I've already done with WAVES.
