Transparent and clear, the Dynamic EQs serve both corrective and creative applications with adaptive nodes for frequency sculpting and pitch tracking.

Nectar 3 includes two new 24-band Dynamic EQs form-fit to the unique needs of vocals. Appearing in the Visual Mixer, Masking Meter, Tonal Balance Control 2, and Insight 2’s Intelligibility Meter, Nectar 3 sits alongside instances of VocalSynth 2, Insight 2, Ozone 9, and Relay to seamlessly streamline the vocal mixing process. Nectar 3 Plus talks to other plug-ins in your session to help you accomplish a variety of mixing tasks. Once you’ve arrived at an optimal starting point, add your personal touch. Vocal Assistant will intelligently set EQ nodes, analyze dynamics and set suggested compression settings, remove pesky sibilants, create space, ambience, and more. Like an extra pair of trusted ears, Vocal Assistant listens to your audio and gets you started by detecting and auto-adjusting level inconsistencies, identifying resonant peaks, timbre variations, and harsh frequencies. Nectar 3’s Vocal Assistant creates a custom preset for your vocal to sit right in the mix. For even more control over your vocal pitch, Nectar 3 Plus now includes Melodyne 5 essential, which lets you edit individual notes. You can also manually set the key, or transpose your entire vocal line up or down in steps to match the tonality of your music. The new Pitch module’s Learn button will automatically detect your vocal’s register and offer three possible keys for pitch correction. Nectar 3 Plus’ Pitch module is now faster and easier to work with, helping you save time in your session by learning the key of your vocal.

The new Dynamic setting tracks the vocal and ensures the unmasking only occurs when the voice is present, keeping other instruments from receiving unwanted EQ cuts. You can now adjust EQ amount on your masking track, ensuring your vocal is loud and clear without causing artifacts or loss of energy. Through inter-plugin communication, Unmask will communicate with any instance of Nectar 3, Neutron 3 (available separately) or iZotope Relay (included with Nectar 3) to create the perfect nest for your vocal. Nectar 3 adds new ability to address masking of any vocal with Vocal Assistant: Unmask. Put your vocals in their place with everything you need for a clear, professional sound. An improved Vocal Assistant: Unmask gives you new insight into how your vocal fits in the mix, with new EQ Amount and Dynamic controls that let you handle masking easily and transparently. From corrective to creative vocal production all the way to the final polish, iZotope Nectar 3 Plus brings out your intended performance in isolation and in the context of the mix.
