Nectar 3 Plus is the most powerful audio plug-in for vocal production, polish, and mixing. Nectar 3+ is a channel strip with real-time pitch correction, two EQs with dynamic and frequency tracking modes, two compressors, a de-esser, gate and harmony, plus delay saturation, reverb and dimension effects, as well as a limiter and a gain-riding feature. There’s also a separate RX 8 Breath Control plug-in, as well as Melodyne Essential for more in-depth note and pitch correction. Arguably the suite’s most useful feature is the Vocal Assistant, which listens to your tracks and generate presets for them. We find this one of iZotope’s finest AI assistants, as creating clean and balanced vocal sounds is much simpler than mixing a whole drum beat using Neutron or mastering a track using Ozone.

 The next level of vocal mixing
From corrective to creative processing, all the way to the final polish, Nectar 3 ushers in a new era of mixing vocals with machine learning tools, modern workflows, and communication across your session.

 Great vocals in isolation... 
Vocal Assistant listens to your audio and gets you started with a custom preset, tailored to your unique vocal. Time consuming tasks like corrective EQ cuts, dynamics, and de-essing are performed with precision in seconds. Vocal Assistant will even intelligently set an optimal input level with Auto Level Mode to ensure a smooth performance.

 ...and in the mix 
Vocals are a big part of the mix, but they're not the only part. By communicating with the included Relay plug-in, Nectar will help place your vocal at the forefront of the mix, moving other competing mix elements out of the way automatically. Vocal Assistant: Unmask will communicate with any instance of Nectar 3, Neutron 2 Advanced (available separately), or iZotope Relay (included with Nectar 3) to create the perfect nest for your vocal.

 Improved Unmask
With intelligent, assistive vocal mixing, once time-consuming tasks like dynamics processing, EQ cuts, and de-essing can now be performed with precision in seconds.

 Control your Unmasking
Vocal Assistant: Unmask talks to other iZotope plug-ins to send information and clean up audio in your mix that's clashing with your vocal. You can visualize the Unmasking via a new EQ window in Neutron, Relay, or Nectar 3, and control the effect with a new Amount slider. Turn on the Dynamic setting, and Nectar 3 Plus tracks the vocal and ensures the unmasking only occurs when the voice is present.
