Plug-Ins For Vocal Production

iZotope introduces Nectar Elements   20-Mar-13

iZotope has announced the release of Nectar Elements, the latest addition to the Nectar family of vocal plug-in effects. Built on the same award-winning DSP as Nectar, Nectar Elements features an easy-to-use interface designed with the singer-songwriter, podcaster, or home recordist in mind. iZotope says that, with ten vocal processing effects working behind the scenes, Nectar Elements simplifies vocal production, allowing users to focus on their sound, not their set-up.

iZotope Product Manager, Brett Bunting, told us, "By introducing Nectar Elements, iZotope is pleased to offer single-click vocal production to a broader set of users. Our vocal product line is focused on great sound and simple workflow. With Nectar Elements, anyone can quickly explore a wealth of complete vocal sounds, each with unique and intuitive control."

Nectar Elements features dozens of Style presets that let you choose between a variety of classic and creative vocal styles, from Motown to Grunge to radio-ready podcast. Easily and quickly adjust the simple controls to find your voice and make it shine.

Key Features:

• Rapidly audition different vocal sounds with professionally-designed Style presets in a wide variety of Genres.
• Personalize your sound with easy-to-use controls that drive sophisticated vocal processing.

Even more:

• Levels: Quickly get punchy vocals with the loudness you need for consistency across your tracks.
• Space: Help settle your vocals into your mix with delays and reverbs that add ambience and "smoothing."
• Dedicated per-Style controls: Adjust intelligent sliders that perfectly complement the Genre and Style of choice.
• EQ: Enhance and sculpt the tone of your voice, or adapt any Style to suit your sound's needs.
• De-Esser: Easily remove unwanted "ess" sounds and sibilance using just one intelligent slider.
• Gate: Remove room tone and other unwanted noise quickly to get vocals crisp and broadcast-ready.
• Automatic Pitch Correction: Fix out-of-tune notes so you can keep those "almost perfect" takes.
