So what is my verdict on this aspect for Nectar 3?
The end result, the sound! =)īut I also factor in playability, because I am a fan of plugins, effects and instruments that are extremely playable, easy to use, fun, and even inspiring. What matters most in music? Well, you already know the answer to this.
#Izotope nectar 3 preset settings manuals#
Not only is it super well structured for each feature, but I have to say that the layout and descriptions of every single feature is so clear and easy to understand.īasically, while most manuals are as boring to read as watching paint dry….this online manual for Nectar 3 has actually been a pleasure to use for reference while learning all the features of this plugin Sound & Playability You can simply click on the little question mark in the user interface, and instantly open their online manual in a browser. But iZotope really did a supreme job with theirs. I don’t think I have ever praised a plugin or tool for its manual. I also like the modular approach which not only gives me control over the signal chain, but also improves the clarity by focusing the interface on one module at time that I select. I love plugins that give me control over the scaling of the interface, since I use a high resolution monitor that is also fairly far from my eyes due to my specific studio setup.
This will often give you a great starting point. What I also liked, is that you get access to the Nectar 2 legacy presets which are categorized by music style.īut you also get the amazing assistant feature that basically analyses the audio waveform and then makes a lot of automatic changes that it suggests.
You get a lot of presets to start from, in various categories and named to give you an idea of the end result. Just be careful to not waste time trying and testing a lot, as I know the danger of having too much fun with trying variations of every single module, haha. This means that you can easily change the color and tone of basically all aspects of the Nectar 3 signal chain. The compressor has 4 types to choose from, and so on. The saturation module has 8 different distortion types to choose from. These modules are: EQ, breath control, delay, dimension, harmony, compressor, pitch correction, reverb, de-esser, gate and saturation.īasically all modules have many different modes and features you can change. And it does so in individual modules that you can move around as you wish in the signal chain. It includes every type of processing I need to shape and polish vocal recordings. It has all the modules & features I need, with a clear and easy to use interface, and most importantly: it is super easy to use, and it has improved my vocal recordings both in sound and how quickly I get an end result I am happy with.Ĭlick here to Learn all Specifications & Features of Nectar 3. My Overall Impression: This is most complete vocal production chain plugin on the market. This is a vocal production plugin for music, voice-over, narration and basically all type of vocal recordings. And today I will share my thoughts on Nectar 3 by iZoTope.
