Hello
I am currently recording vocals and a bit stuck ...
Trying different rack extension compressor, EQ, reverb, switching presets, trying to make it "simple" but sounds terrible to me and feel it's endless.
Then I decided to try Nectar 3 plus (10 days demo) iZotope
Doubtful regarding the "Vocal Mix Assistant" but I tried it, and wooo.... fantastic even with my draft vocal recording, the result was good.
I wonder if there is any Nectar 3 long time users here ? or any experience with Nectar 3 ?
If yes what do you think about it ?
10 days for testing the product is great but never enough.
Since I am recording pop/rock vocal, I am trying to avoid heavy processing with ton of rack extension. Basically I was thinking about Nectar 3 as main vocal chain + reverb.
I feel the vocal chain on Nectar 3 is very well done (compressor, EQ1, EQ2, Auto-gain) but probably something I could reproduce with rack extension + knowledge.
Or maybe it's real ... Nectar 3 bring something specific on the vocal sound/mix
Thanks
Nectar 3 Plus, yes, no, maybe ?

It is a good vocal chain, man. If you liked the results and made it simpler/easier/faster, and if you value workflow, then why not?
I personally never use the assistant, but set the modules up myself. I do like the unmask feature quite a bit, when it is needed it works great, a bit too great sometimes so I use it on parallel blending in a bit of the original signal, however the plus version seems to have fixed that adding further control to the unmasking, so, yeah, forget about that

Good point. Have you checked your account (if you own any other plugin from izotope) to see if your have a better price for it? I can get it for 50 last time I checked but I didn't upgrade cause it should have been a free upgrade

If you can wait a bit: Wait until they do another giveaway on one of their Elements products, get that for free, and then wait until there's a good sale on Nectar 3 (or better yet, one of their bundles) and log into your account and get a crossgrade from the Elements product. (It doesn't have to be Nectar Elements specifically.)

I own some iZotope products but unfortunately I don't have loyalty offers for "Nectar 3" only the "Music Production Suite 4"
Anyway it's already $199 instead of $249 ... I can't wait for discount or black Friday I think I will buy it, it's really good and helpful for vocal mixing.
I can see this sentence on my account
"Missing an offer you think you should qualify for? We are here to help! Contact us"
Well... I am not sure but maybe I should try to contact the support and ask if I can have discount on Nectar 3 ?
I only bought RX7 Standard and Ozone 8+9 Advanced, don't know if it's enough to ask them an offer.
