Advanced technology. Be creative, not technical.

We're always looking for ways to marry technology and creative expression. Technology can make tools smarter, make workflows more intuitive, and produce higher quality sound. We use technology to enable you to focus on the fun, creative bits.

Pitch Correction

iZotope has leveraged years of research into pitch shifting to develop high quality automatic and graphical pitch correction. The result is natural sounding correction with simple user controls for making subtle adjustments to tuning or reworking a melody.

Breath Control & De-Esser

Nectar can intelligently identify a breath separately from other vocal components. Like the De-Esser, Breath Control is smart enough to operate independent of level. You can choose a target loudness for breaths, and Nectar does the rest.

Producer-level Controls

In the creative moment, you aren't thinking about thresholds or attack times, you're thinking about getting a grittier or brighter sound. Nectar packages the complexity of many parameters into intuitive controls like Grit and Warmth, so you can be a musician and not a scientist.
