What’s new in Nectar 4?
Audiolens [Elements, Standard, Advanced]
Reference any voice
Audiolens is compatible with Nectar 4, allowing you to tone-match any vocal sound. Separate the vocal from your reference track and gain valuable information to create a starting point for your mix.
Voices [Standard, Advanced]
In sweet harmony
Instant, easy vocal layers: the Voices module gives you the ability to create complicated layers for your vocal production without needing to learn voice-leading and harmonic motion. Find a preset similar to your desired sound, then tweak it to your liking.
Backer [Standard, Advanced]
Who’s backing you today?
With the Backer module, you can now create background singers that sit behind your main vocal. Pick from eight different styles or import your own acapella to further customize your sound. Finish up a demo with different flavors of vocalists, creatively destroy ad-lib tracks, or create something new altogether.

Sidechain your vocals, separate your modules into component plugins, dial-in your processing with strength and range controls as well as the mix slider, and effortlessly manage vocal levels with the new Auto-Level Mode (ALM).
