This Geoff guy gets a gold star. He could be a professional hypnotist. I've been on board since Nectar One and this latest version really has some major improvements. I'm excited! I just got it, but haven't cracked it open yet.
This is a HUGELY significant update! Cheers iZotope!
Holy mackerel! The new modules are fantastic!!
the best Nectar 4 tutorial! thanks
WOOOW ! You guys. That's amazing! You thought of everything. That backer module - speechless. That's crazy good. :D :O Thanks!
Thank you for these videos, they are extremely helpful!
Man this is Huge been studying this video for a couple days now thank you.
Thank you for all you do with these helpful videos
I love the suite of products! So much fun to learn and use!
Absolutely fantastic tutorial and explanation!!
Loving the Audio Level module as well as the saturation. The voices module looks like a fun toy but I still prefer stacking real vocals, nothing like it and is more fun.
Bought and it's so GREAT!
Very good walkthrough thx !
Wow, this is really impressive. Powerful yet user friendly, great demo and walk through. Thank you for the tips and tricks and kudos to the developers behind the scenes.
Hope you guys work on getting those backer modules sounding like crisp style-transfers of voices instead of the robot artifact filled sounds they are now. Still very cool!
Love you tutorials ! So Amazing !!! Thank you so much !!!!!
The new updated Audiolens is really cool. It's a good starting point for tone shaping.
Thank You very much for this intersting tutorial!
Awesome sauce Geoff
AWESOME MAN, LOVE THIS
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.
Thanks for the tutorial
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.
Great help, thank you so much. I couldn't figure out how to use the voices module to create harmonies: who would have guessed? Unison mode it is.
I believe there should be a way to analyze the music around the vocals to ensure a better match with the track, rather than just trying to make the vocals sound like a different track.

Technically you can do that with masking EQ in neutron 👍
I think nectar would really benefit from a genre choice before letting the ai decide what to do, for me it's not doing a great job most of the time
Thanks Geoff for posting this tutorial! As always this is extremely helpful. Please post affiliate link to volume control feature on your belt!😀
I fuc*ing love the song that you folks are demonstrating on.
Well done Geoff! There's a lot of ballistics in this video but you've managed to keep it in the pocket... ;) If I get what you're saying at 41:30, this means I could get Lennon & McCartney to sing along with me!! That's awesome!
This video is why I'm about to buy this product, Geoff. I need to update Reason to 12, first.
Dope plugin!
Thankyou for doing these tutorials Geoff. You do an absolutely great job of them always. I find that in many other tutorials that people do they are talking about what can be done but they hardly ever tell you in detail how it can be done. This is not the case with you. I always come away from your videos with a good understanding of how to use the products. Its a big help... so again Thankyou so much for being very good at what you do Geoff.
Extremely helpful overview thanks, and explains for me very clearly what v 4 offers relative to v 3. BTW, your voice is sounding great in this video (assume you’ve Nectar 4’d it? 😉). Thanks again.
Excellent tutorial. Guess I'm buying this....

Love the Auto-Level. The Tame Noise feature is genius.Much better than Waves Vocal Rider, or using a lot of compression. I wish all the separate modules had the learn feature..lol. 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!
Logic + iZotope + NI ♥
Maybe my ears are not working correctly but I have seen some other tutorials where I also thought the starting vocals sounded better and more natural than the mixed once with nectar…
Fantastic
Upgrade prices are insane.

I used Plugin Boutique and upgraded from Nectar 3+ to Nectar 4 standard for £43.A 67% reduction on normal price.The advanced was only a 20% reduction,so figured it best to get standard and then see what the price for upgrading to advanced Nectar 4 in a few months.I still have Nectar 3+ to use too.

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 :)
amazing
All this amazing info and here I am adding to the # replays for "I don't know why it's on my belt 😂" at 18:50
Thank u splice
I own Nectar 2 and Nectar 3 + and they should make the upgrade $50 not $224 then goes up after! That’s crazy
IZOTOPE WITH THE VOCAL HOPE
I'm going off the rails on the Crazy Chain!!!!
Why don't I like the voices section? Because I am over 60? Well, at least because I remember and am proud of all the effort and skills we put into our background vocals. I remember late, late nights in the studio giving it all our love ...😊 Wouldn't have been without them...
I upgraded to Oz11. I can’t imagine anyone outdoing Geoff’s tutorials. He’s been ‘first’ for years.
came for the tutorial ended vibing to the song
Thanks. But in the "voices" section it was really hard to hear the changes because the music was too loud.
I just want to suggest an implementation. When I'm moving the voices in the stereo field in the panel, I want to see the kind of voices I'm working with. It's not simple to remember which color is associated to the unison, to the 5th and so on.

I wonder if Geoff is going to do a deep dive into Ozone 11...I do hope so as I've just splashed on Production Suite 6...ouch!!
I like the song
WOW! totally amazing. Can anyone tell me if Nectar 4 has timing correction? Thanks
so auto level is just like vocal rider by waves?
it looks so NI now
nice
Good to see Izotope updating on nectar 3, does 4 still come with the relay option? anybody. cheers!
Can you do a tutorial on how you edit your voice for this videos?
Can you make a video on using Nector 4 and other iZotope plugins for spoken diagloue, specially for audiobooks and podcasts?

interesting. can you use the voices module to make another harmony of a vocal file, and export that so that you can use that harmony with the backer module?
I was waiting for Geoff to do a tutorial on Nectar 4, as i got it a few days ago

ok finally going to fix the vocals to this
So, Autolevel is like Selig, right? Also, for CPU performance reasons, I assume you can have a "working track" and then bounce that to a pre-mixed/effected new track? I know that might depend upon the DAW, obviously. Does this run stand alone as well?
So after neuton 4 finishes lerning in the ai power assistant, i don't get any of the knobs or screens in this video. I only have a tone and width adjustments. I'm following the steps. Hoping to learn what I'm doing wrong.
Is it possible for the eq bands to pitch track and have dynamic gain at the same time in this version?
What mic are you using? Great video!
HI! great video. Quick question- When combining Nectar with Neoverb, what should come first in the processing chain? Or is this meant to be used as a stand alone?
Hi Geoff, I also own RX 10 -- for tone-matching vocal references, should I use 'Lens' as you suggested in this video, or would it perhaps be better to use 'Music Rebalance' on the 'Best' setting (which is excellent, I use it all the time) to isolate the vox within RX, and then simply train lens on the 'Capture' setting instead of 'Acapella'? Which of these methods should yield the best results? Thanks!
Hi, I bought Nectar 4 and the current version of Relay. I put the Nectar on my vocals and Relay on my instrumental track. Unfortunately, Nectar shows me “no sources found”. Use it in Reason. What am I doing wrong?
my god can we talk abt that insane acapella
I have a question, lately I got nectar 4, I was wondering if the vocals aren’t loud enough should I use the autolevel volume to increase the vocals? Or I should use the fader?
Heck yeah keep it up last video is seen ur hair was regular getting old bro 😅
Has anyone compared the Auto Level module with Waves Vocal Rider?

for me the auto level is perfect to not use vocal rider. I'm not using waves plugins anymore for obvious reasons.
Hi, iZotope vinyl does not show any percentage values when adjusting Dust, Scratches, and Wrap values. Please release a hotfix to resolve this issue. It's a very good plugin but not being able to precisely adjust our value when adjusting the dust, scratch and wrap values is really annoying.
So new to Nectar, what best way to record in, I am using nothing on insert for main vocal and using a BUS to send, that way I can get a nice sound to record but not record the BUS in...so raw in that sound good? or do I add auto level to main insert vocal and record that in.
At 9:45 - maybe the loudness disguises things, but I though the before was way better than the after. The eq seems just to be off to me.
awesome, my CPU burns really hot while using those modules, lol
Hi...I just purchased the Bundle with Ozone 11 Advanced, Nutron 4 Advanced, Nectar 4, etc. I'm just wondering why you'd throw ALL the audio (your mix) into the Assistant at the start...instead of just the vocal track? 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!

I also did that seemed the better deal to me. Because individually price wise didn’t make sense
How can I accomplish changing my EQ and compressor settings with time? Do i just need to create a new track? Also, with Voices, how can I accomplish chanhing my harmonies with time? Primarily through MIDI?
I have a maybe dumb question. In auto level mode, shall i do this before doing anything else with the vocal? I can see you only have De-esser on.
How do you deal with key changes with the voices module?
I have Windows 10, interface VOLT 1 - but with me not work in Nectar 4 the "Baker" function. Die faces comes not to see at all. Why? And, more better! - if I show my audio for Ozon 11 to hear, it starts to suspend, makes a crash-bang, and suggests so high loudness, that I think my computer flies away. Why? John Burn from Germany
I bought the upgrade from Nectar Elements to Nectar 3 PLUS. NOW you come out with Nectar 4. SO why didn't you FIRST tell me that 4 was coming out, and #2, why I would not get a special discount if I considered AGAIN upgrading to 4 now? And what are the differences between those 2 upgrades, and don't tell me to watch this video. I'd LOVE to see the Marketing DEPT do their JOB and put out a Comparison Chart for those two because I have not seen one of those on your complicated website, unless I either missed it, or it's buried somewhere, OR it's not there. Anyone know? Think I maybe be done dealing/buying from Izotope for awhile, like I've already done with WAVES.

For some reason the standalone plugins work but Nectar 4 rack does not. Any advice? Im also using Logic
WHat song is this? I really like it!
I want to know what Audio Interface Geoff uses lol these plugins are not friendly while on record. With that being said, when iZotope decides to release an audio interface, it's officially over for RME, more or less.
In the voices module I only have the presets Unison and Octave. Where do I get the presets for Uplifting, Lush, Happy, etc? Do I have to download these seperately?

Also- I'm using Nectar 4 elements and having trouble accessing the details. I can't actually see the EQ curve, when I adjust shape. Is that a limitation of elements?
I love Nectar 4 but I’m curious why my Stereo Width slider disappears occasionally
Hello Great video. Newbie to using Izotope production suite. I have my (instrument and) vocal tracks grouped (Ableton Live 12 Standard) 1- Do you put an instance of Nectar 4 on each track, get the results you want and then on the bus/aux track (going to the master track) or just the bus/aux track or both? Thanks in advance.
Hi, Can Nectar 4 be automated for changing parameters during the course of the music or song?
What in the Namm show is going on ?
Is rx10 or nectar 4 better for voice over work? Is there a group I can get ... like Nector 4 Standard, then Rx10 Elements and Ozone 11 elements to get everything I need? Noise reduction, eq, hiss removal, lip smacks, breaths, compression, ACX, with AI help?

For voice over, go for RX 10! We also offer a Music Production Suite that provides everything you'll ever need: bit.ly/46Bw5nJ
So it is a bit surprising that Nectar doesn't have the ability to isolate vocals in an audio track that may have other stuff in it, as can be done in Ozone.
I don’t like that it does damn near the exact treatment regardless for me. Decided to try it since I have ozone 11 but I just don’t like it. mixed vocal vs raw it did the same exact thing obviously sounded bad on the mixed vocals and made the raw vocals sound thin and meh at best. Don’t see myself using it
Offtopic: does iZ RX 10 Elements run in Davinci Resolve 18 ?
