The Easy Way to Get Killer Vocals!

Why agonize over getting the perfect vocal sound, when iZotope's Nectar Elements plug-in makes it so easy? Under the hood, it's a real beast, sporting 10 incredibly powerful processing sections. But you don't need to deal with any of that. In fact, unlike your typical vocal-processing chain or even complete vocal-processing plug-in, Nectar Elements keeps the whole process simple, giving you just a handful of essential controls, rather than inundating you with tons of parameters you might not even know what to do with.

Let's take a closer look a Nectar Elements's workflow. To start off with, you've got a level section with your gain controls and a streamlined space section for adding dimension to your vocal tracks. Additional essential processors include a de-esser, a gate, and even an automatic pitch-correction processor. What's more, there's an excellent 5-band parametric EQ onboard, complete with real-time monitoring.

But before you even start tweaking any of these settings, you begin by selecting a general vocal style. After all, you're not going to treat pop vocals the same as metal vocals, right? When you select your vocal style, not only does Nectar Elements reconfigure a ton of its hidden parameters, it also gives you a couple of character specific parameters to play with. These are things like sparkle, strength, clarity, and warmth - you know, stuff that's way more descriptive than "boosting 350-750Hz" or some such engineer jargon. So if you're more of a musician than a mix engineer, polishing your vocals with iZotope's Nectar Elements plug-in is a pretty safe move for you.
