    In this demo the Backer voices sound great. When you listen to them separately, e.g. changing your own voice, you will probably find that most of them sound strange. And in my experience it is very hard to make that go away. I would like to see and hear more tutorials or examples of how to get this to sound right.

    I've already done the update. It's expensive, but here we have a completely new machine then the old Nectar. Also, the finally the possibility to use single modules as plugins. Auto-level is perfect. And in general, it's always a good start up for mixing vocals or, as happens, when you are in a hurry. Anyway, I think is a great evolution from the previous version.

The Backer concept is also brilliant...it just still sounds a little wonky for me. Hopefully it will get better. All in all, this is my go to plug in, and has been for years. 4 is definitely an upgrade from 3 IMO. Great Vid!

    Thanks, including for labeling sections to which I can return, if needed. I'm excited, and it gave me $100 off winding up with Melodyne 5 Assistant, since Nectar 4 included Melodyne Essentials. I probably could have just used Mel. Ess. but wanted full mouse-dragging-level control over individual vocal nuances. I never heard "metadata" being used that way, like perceived eq profile of a vocal in a song (versus embedded text details like title or artist name). It's weird how many audio experts have my own, same, exact room and door :)

Which of these methods should yield the best results? Thanks!

Is the AI that good to distinguish between the vocal, and say, a snare and midrange synth? Nice vid, and as a previous user of Ozone 10, the improvements and features in 11 Advanced are wonderful as well. You've convinced me to install Nectar 4. Guess I'll give the DSP hungry 'El Rey" a rest for the time being!

And what are the differences between those 2 upgrades, and don't tell me to watch this video.
