How to Quickly Mix Vocals Like a Pro | Stock Plug-ins vs. iZotope Nectar

[@gkurtenbach]

Nice video. It was also be good if Nectar had a zero latency mode so it could be used to track vocals. In this situation, the assistant might be really useful to quickly get a rough fx chain set up for monitoring a vocal while tracking.

I love putting nectar assistant and let ai do the work. From there I tweak settings and put on some my fav effects additionally. Great video!!❤

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Glad that Nectar's powerful assistant helps with your workflow 💛

[@rizzbod]

Izotope content is top notch !❤ Never stop

[@djatixofficialdnb]

Once again. Brilliant vid with a helpfull view. Iv used you/ neutron/ozone and rx to help me learn how to do it manually but still find myself using these tools. There so handy and save on your workflow time. Big shouts to you sir. 😁

Great video - Would love to see a video where you work on a classical piece like an operatic Tenor and an orchestra instrumental. Would love to see how you get those 2 together. I am an opera tenor myself and use often instrumental orchestras or piano for recording opera arias. Very little videos on that and on how opera voices are recorded and how they are treated. I presume very different than we see in modern music. Would be great 🙂

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Many thanks for the suggestion 🙏

[@arrivalsband9201]

I adore Nectar. It is my got to plugin for most of my vocals

[@mystikrebel1089]

Just what i needed so good timing

[@winslowdonovanmusic]

amazing thanks so much! as a logic user i love this haha ive had nectar for a bit now im slowly learning more and more

[@DeRaNgEdOfficial]

Nectar 3 plus is my sauce prior to my vocal bus fx and master chain. I can't wait for version 4.

[@adithyasatheesh127]

And you're waiting for version 4 cuz ? Do you believe 3 isn't good enough or cuz it could be improved upon?

[@DeRaNgEdOfficial]

@adithyasatheesh127 3 is amazing. It definitely can be improved to become even more efficient. And just the way technology is today, there is so much more capabilities to offer.

[@braddasseymusic]

Nice. I like your narration. Pleasant to listen to. What kinda headphones are those by the way?

[@abhishekinmusic]

I am interested in more comparative videos like this just so to know how much time I can really save when using ozone products. I actually have ozone music production suite 5.2, and exploring how to make my work more efficient and get results quickly, I would also appreciate if you could provide some of your own vocal chAin presets for different vocal genre which you use in your projects while mixing, it would be awesome if we could benefit from the vocal chains of experienced people like and and save it in our daw and tweak it further as per our taste.

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@kdd4202]

Amazing video! Only thing I can hear is some harshness of the s's. Dessing but you made your point for sure! I love izotope! I have your plugins haha and they work wonders

[@dspoet1]

I have Nectar Pro and the trial version of Nectar 3 PIus. I did the vocal assistant with both and got two different vocals chains. To my curiosity, I did it a second time and the same thing happened. Two different vocal chains. My question is this. What’s difference between Nectar Pro and Nectar 3 Plus and why do I get different settings from vocal assistant in each one?

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Hi, the “Pro” label indicates the subscription version of Nectar 3 Plus. To contact our product support team to troubleshoot the issue you have with Nectar, please use this form here: bit.ly/izo_prod

[@guglielmonigro]

Thanks for the good work. Nectar Is Always my starting point. It would be nice to see a comparison on a drums mix bus with Neutron and Stocks plugins.

[@dafingaz]

Ooh. I need Nectar plus!

[@minicooper1293]

Nectar really doesn’t work too well with bad recordings. There’s no way around the hours long process of mixing vocals so that the resonances don’t cut through the mix

[@rizzbod]

Yeah , i find Nectar is a powerful tool but sometimes we just have to do some work if I am playing with bad recording

[@DreamStarGalaxy]

What do you consider a bad recording?

[@king_scarxiii8229]

Great video! I feel like it’s hard to find good tutorials like this in mixing (soulful) r&b vocals. I feel like I try to keep warmth in the vocals but it gets too muddy for my liking

[@robertwang28]

Great video! may I also learn how to get the warm sound like your film by nectar or other tools. Also, when I use rx leveler or nectar autolevel in diague or speech and audio book , the sound become small/large deviation unstable if there is 10-15s silence time without speaking, may I know how to fix it in vocal assistant mode.

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Best to get in touch with our support team directly so we can take a closer look for you. You can reach us here: bit.ly/izo_prod

[@DjXCENTRiC]

The stock plugins have a better mono compatibility than the izotope. but, the izotope chain sounds ALOT better I feel.

[@alexanderweingard1390]

Super! Thank You!

[@ReynaldoIvanPena]

My single only issue is the latency. Once iZotope takes care of that, we’re in business.

[@914Werf]

Jus record raw

[@DaMoocH916]

Question: On my version of nectar (nectar pro) included with the monthly izotope package, I don't get the "Assistant is working" screen. The assistant does work, but it seems to dial back the gain and produce extremely thin vocals. It first says "listening" then brings me to a screen that says, "set the vibe for your vocal." I've been underwhelmed with the results and don't feel like it produces quality anywhere near what I hear in the tutorial videos where the "assistant is working" screen pops up. Is there a reason why my version is engaging in a different process? Is mine a lesser version than you're demonstrating here?

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Hi, would you be able to contact our product support team with more details so we can have a look? Please use this form here: bit.ly/izo_prod

[@gregorymcclendon5715]

Nectar Assistant [seemingly] uses the same eq cuts on virtually every vocal; female or male, across every genre.

[@GoodOmali]

I swear. The same frequencies no matter what vocalist or rapper

[@Aseekeroftruth-j3h]

Truth

[@adithyasatheesh127]

Just saying, the Air Knob in Blackbox wouldn't do anything unless you turn on the Air button to the left of it. Nice video nonetheless

[@530Zeno]

Often when using nectar in FL studio something will happen where it emits a ridiculously loud screech that makes me have to close the daw. Is that just me? I wish I could fix this, it didn't used to happen

[@iZotopeOfficial]

That doesn't sound right. Can you please contact our product support team to troubleshoot this issue? Please use this form here: bit.ly/izo_prod

[@VonnieVonVonX2]

💯

[@exhaust4246]

Song name? 🎵

[@j.ciloafasho]

Is there any ducking on the delay or reverb in nectar?

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Unfortunately Nectar's Reverb and Delay doesn't have a ducking feature.
