iZotope Nectar 4 REVIEW 

Thanks! I am going to keep my old channel in Polish going, but I would like to publish my best videos here in English :)

Thanks! I geuss I spend more time on my settings;) Nectar seems to do a good job if you have well recorded vocals, but for some non-ideal recordings Soothe and some "vintage" plugins, like PSPaudioware might be really helpful

@@PoloTremolo Bro, You need to improve on mixing. Both original & Nectar modified Vocals didnot sound good. Anyway thanks for the video. I hope you will improve your mixes next time.

@@BeethovanBro, this is the greatest mix of all time! This man is the GOAT!!! 🐐

Yes, unmasking works well! No, it is not possible, but you might try to use two instances of Nectar and set it up in your DAW, it is usually pretty simple thing to do with DAW stock compressor:)

I hope to use Nectar more in my future projects, but it might take me a few weeks or more till I'll have something I could show to you. I have to get my head around it first, cause I haven't yet tried it;P

Ha ha, you're probably right:) :P

Use it on an aux and blend it in the main vocals

Exactly. I think it’s a very good way to start and then you can tweak things to your liking.

☺️ thanks!! I will try to put my ideas into context. I wish I knew who the vocalist was - I took a sample from splice.com, I think you should be able to find it by file name - if you can’t let me know I’ll try to recover the session and check it for you:)

Hey, Relay is used for interplugin communication, so that iZotope plugin on one channel can affect the settings of another iZotope plugin on another channel, for instance having Relay on each channel you can change volume and panning in the Visual Mixer - This time I used Relay for this ducking effect. iZotope has really nice videos on their channel showing how it works. see here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sLnOV4uL82I.htmlsi=T3GZdzdBf1XU16AN

The famale singer is ultra talented, I agree:) You can find her on YT: www.youtube.com/@Clodie

Yea there’s a custom tab in the Backer module. Just bring a sample voice in there and it will use the timbre of that voice.

I confirm:) Yes you can, but I haven't exlopered it yet!

@@PoloTremolodoes it sound natural like some of those AI websites? Eg. Could I sound like Justin Beiber?

@@DanGonzalez8268does it sound natural and legit ?

Thank you for leaving the comment! Clodie vocals were not perfectly recorded, with a hint of harshness. The truth is I spent a few hours on perfecting the sound with other plug-ins, and only a few minutes with Nectar 4. But it is always great to hear you liked my mix:)))

I am a long time Ableton Live user, also I mixed professionaly a lot tracks in this DAW but I admit that some other DAWs are a bit better suited for mixing - in Cubase Pro you're getting super high quality metering, can insert a plugin on all tracks at once, there VCA groups, better monitoring options etc. On the other hand I created so many Ableton Live effect racks with mid/side and L/R processing that it is hard to leave;))) Overall Cubase is much bigger and powerfull music production system, but more experimental staff this Max4Live environment is tempting. If you haven't seen my other video about reasons to switch to Cubase, I highly recommend. Also for mixing alone I would consider Studio One, see my Luca Pretolesi interview, he's Studio One user and with 6.5 they implemented Atmos very well. It seems like I will still use more than one DAW!!!!

​@@PoloTremolojust watched that video you recommended, it's awesome, I also subscribed. Your channel is golden. Could never find anything quite like it, who understands both Cubase and Ableton. Thank you So, now the million dollar question is. Can i use my new Push 3 with Cubase somehow? Thanks again.

I still don't rely 100% on Assistant, but in most cases the EQ, and especialy Dyn EQ are really good, or at least a good starting point. Well, I used to do it all manually in the past, but maybe I am just becoming lazy;))?

@@PoloTremolo at the moment I prefer What the trio smart eq with soothe and pro.q does but this is a mather of choice and hability to just control every steps precisely, but the 3 cost the price of the isotope suite actualy

Ha ha, probably they will:) Actually, I explored this kind of robotic sound on purpose cause I liked it, but I heard on iZotope channel some examples that sound more like an accompaniment. I just didn’t get my head around all options are all kind of sounds you can achieve yet.

Hey, I have a similar gut feeling:) Thanks, it is nice too hear, However I remember I worked on the original mix much longer than on the Nectar version, but I guess smoother sounding saturation and more soothe made a bit more musical

@@PoloTremolo yeah i guess nectar would be perfect for demos if you need like a quick mix.

thanks a lot:)

agreed
