Not once did we experience that with Nectar 3 and Melodyne Essential 4, for that we tip our hats to Izotope and Celemony.

Resizing the window caused our systems to lag nine out of ten times, and we were lucky if it worked correctly after that without restarting the session. It felt transparent enough in the tuning but its drawbacks were too much to bother with it. Nectar 2 utilized its own pitch editor which was clunky and buggy. In addition to the assistive technology and updated look, Nectar 3 comes bundled with Melodyne Essential 4 for pitch editing. This technology has proven itself beyond useful in Neutron and Ozone, and we believe it has done so again here. Much like those two plugins Nectar 3 utilizes an assistive technology that can make automated adjustments to your effects’ parameters.
IZOTOPE NECTAR 3 VS UPDATE
It’s a welcome update as we see new features that allow it to seamlessly integrate with other Izotope plugins like Neutron 2 and Ozone 8. The look is cleaner, easier to navigate, and actually fun to use. The interface matches that of its most recently updated plugins: Neutron, Ozone, and Vocal Synth 2 (if we missed any that rock the new look comment below). Below, Nectar 2 can be seen on the left while the updated Nectar 3 is on the right. Nectar 3 is the newest version of the multi-effects plugin, following Nectar 2, and sports a shiny new look that we love. This speaks to the ease and power that Nectar 3 brings to the table. We found it incredibly easy to replicate the sound between the two. We tested out Nectar 3 using Ableton Live 10 and compared its effects to a combination of Soundtoys and Ableton Live’s native effects.
