Vocal Assistant creates a custom preset to make your vocal sound objectively ‘better’ and more mix-ready. Called Vocal Assistant, it might just be the most impressive implementation of the concept yet.
Joining Neutron 2, Ozone 8 and, on rather different terms, RX 7, Nectar 3 boasts a machine learning-driven system for setting the plugin up automatically based on analysis of the input signal. Glamorous assistantĪnd so to the main event. Oh, and the separate Nectar 2 Breath Control plugin has been ousted in favour of the superior RX 7 Breath Control - although why it’s not been worked in as a module is a mystery.
It’s not a serious problem, but we wonder if it might be possible to make the control panels float (deceptively, they look like they do already) so that they could be moved out of the way when necessary.Īll modules now feature dry/wet Mix controls in their top bar panels, and, as you’d expect, Nectar 3 shows up in Neutron 2 and Ozone 8’s Visual Mixer, Masking Meter and Tonal Balance Control. There is one minor snag, though, in that the controls for many of the modules (the worst offender being Compressor) can obscure a chunk of the waveform or spectrum view over which they’re situated when the window is set small. Nectar 2 was starting to look decidedly retro, so the graphical makeover is a welcome move, as is the newfound ability to freely resize the window by dragging the bottom right corner. Nectar 3 (VST/AU/AAX/RTAS) redraws the GUI to achieve homogeneity with recently updated iZotope stablemates Neutron 2, Ozone 8 and RX 7, and make the various displays (spectrum displays, gain reduction trace, etc) more visually immediate. Utilising an array of reorderable modules to apply voice-optimised dynamics shaping, EQ, pitch correction, harmonisation, de-essing, distortion and effects, it’s become a go-to plugin for the professional producer looking to quickly and easily get vocals of all kinds - from sung and rapped to dialogue and voiceover - sounding their best, entirely in the box.
