Though it looks quite different from the previous version, being darker and considerably less orange, Nectar 2 remains, in the main, easy to navigate, as most of the text is white on a very dark grey background. Other than Breath and the offline pitch editing, Nectar still opens as a single plug-in window, this time with a slightly larger, redesigned graphic interface that bears an obvious family resemblance to iZotope's Ozone 5 and Alloy 2 all-in-one processing plug-ins. Nectar 2 is a cross-platform plug-in that works in RTAS, AudioSuite, VST2, VST3, Audio Unit and AAX formats, including the 64-bit AAX protocol used by Pro Tools 11, and is authorised online or to an iLok key. while the second new plug-in caters for offline pitch editing and correction. One of these is based on the section of the original plug-in that dealt with controlling the level of breaths, In Overview mode, you see simplified versions of all 11 processing modules with just a handful of controls. The update also sees these functions joined by two separate plug-ins as part of a more upmarket Production Suite version.
Like the original, the new version 2 of the Nectar plug-in contains 11 separate processing sections, but the palette has been changed slightly, and now comprises Harmony, Plate Reverb, FX, Pitch, Delay, De-Esser, Saturation, Compressors, Gate, EQ and Limiter. Nectar, reviewed in SOS March 2011 ( /sos/mar11/articles/nectar.htm) was originally developed by iZotope as a comprehensive toolkit of vocal production elements wrapped into a single plug-in environment. With up to 13 different processing tools available, if Nectar 2 can't make your vocal track sound good, nothing can!
