what's up guys nectar three is a vocal plugin by isotope what it does is it
treats your vocals with a bunch of commonly used effects that make your raw
vocal recording just sound better now I didn't expect to like this plug-in and
here's why because I already have a set of effects that I use for my vocals that
I really like and they sound great but once I tried nectar three I really liked
it I think nectar 3 is a great plug-in if you're new to things like gates and
compressors and reverbs or if you don't really have a good understanding of what
these effects can do to your vocals to make them sound better it really takes
the guesswork out of the equation and it's much faster than trying to figure
out all the settings by yourself so today I'm going to use it on an existing
vocal of mine and let you hear the results I'm also going to compare it to
my normal plug-in chain so you can decide which you like better
Sokka hold down trying to get away oh we spent it said try to make things right
between us let's use the vocal assistant feature in nectar three to have the
plug-in automatically do all settings the vocal assistant listens to your
track and then adds different effects
you see it's added to eq's a de-esser a compressor and reverb so how does it
sound all right I think I need a little bit of auto-tune in there so let's add
that I'd also like to add a little bit more reverb let's add a gate to get rid
of my loud breaths between phrases
it's really nice to have all of this stuff in one plug-in now let's compare
the sound of nectar 3 to plugins I've used in the past I've typically used a
bunch of Ableton plugins and a couple from waves that do basically the same
things as nectar you can see that I had my EQ set to accentuate the highs baby
play me clothes cuz girls like your run around with guys like beats on them when
I come through I need to go like you yeah yeah girls fuck you laughs ah yeah
me do what I wanna come through I need to go like you yeah I want to try
another feature nectar comes with relay the way relay works with nectar is that
you put relay on a track that has an instrument that may be competing with
your vocal and nectar and relay will adjust that track to make way for your
vocal let's put it on the synth strings track and try it again
all right what I love about nectar 3 it does the job really quickly and I'm
pretty happy with the results at the most I'm just making some minor tweaks
and maybe adding some effects that are already included in the plugin like that
auto-tune in-game so what I use this again heck yes now you can use other
plugins to get the same results even plugins that are already included in
your da W but nothing is quite this fast nectar has some additional effects
included including delay saturation harmony harmony would be kind of
interesting I'm going to try that too I'm using nectar 3 which is the full
version and that's $200 but you can get similar results from nectar elements
which is only $100 if you liked this video hit the like button and subscribe
