*Edited to avoid confusion.

As a Nectar v.1 owner, I got an email this morning from Izotope about the upgrades. The prices listed were $79 and $99 respectively (Limited time only until Oct 30, from their own shop). :)

For some reason Izotope is the only Native company that keeps me opening my wallet and spending cash even when i do not want to, and for me that's the hallmark of extremely talented developers. IK Multimedia are now great to but need to change resale policy for Custome-Shop plugins if they want me to continuesly spend.

I really hate to fork over $200 right now for Nectar, DAMN YOU IZOTOPE!!! I have Christmas gifts i need to buy, bills to pay and other expenses.

I've been messing around with Nectar 2 Production suite version demo and i must say i am thoroughly impressed. The Plate 140 reverb is VERY nice and has a good sense of space to it (the decay could sound a little better tho, but i still am very impressed). The Creative-FX section sound lovely and have a 'Izotope clarity' to them. The harmonizer as well. This is a VERY VERY nice package and i am highly impressed even without trying all that it has to offer yet (Wich is a hell-of-alot). I'm sold. Izotopes algorithms are seriously improving sonicly and more effects and processors are being added to their flexible plugins as time passes. IMO they sell the ultimate effects and processors plugins.

I don't know exactly when but i will be buying Nectar 2 Production suite soon, it's another Izotope 'must-have', and i'll be crying and smiling as i spend what is a large amount of money to me.


EDITED
T2 Icarus is a must. SonicCore SCOPE is the most. As heart of studio it has my vote, cause XITE-1 is all she wrote.

There are two upgrade paths.

To the production version of Nectar, it's at $179 (US). You can get it from Time+space for approx. $155.

To the standard edition, it's around $129. I don't see that upgrade option yet on any retail sites yet.

Just to be clear, I answered the question (which was in my quote): "What is the upgrade path from Nectar Elements?"

You should see you special offer in your iZotope User account after login.

izotope confirmed this morning that this will not work in logic (9 OR X); shame...they have the tech (witness stutter-edit). will go with harmony engine evo instead.

so it goes; great plugin otherwise....

:lol:

Honestly, do people actually read posts anymore? I *know* the upgrade prices because I posted them. In fact, they're actually already in the nested quote that you quoted (look about 2 inches up from here).

jsp1979, I corrected my post so that it doesn't quote yours.

In fairness, I did say I'm a Nectar v.1 (not Essentials) user.... but the quote made it unclear. Sorry about that. :oops:

This was my experience as well while using it to clean up a few vocal tracks. It's nice that you have a quick toolkit put together where you can pretty easily dial in a good sound. I'd need to outgrow Elements to buy the full package unless they make me an upgrade offer I can't refuse (as in 50% or more off). I might already have enough in my rig to do what Nectar does but we'll see.

By the way, I got Elements on sale while it was $29 and I didn't really know what exactly I needed it for. It turns out to be useful enough for putting together a quick track without having to do alot of thinking. I still have to do more to see how far I can push it. I do see myself using it regularly though.

I already own Autotune 7 and if Nectar's is more transparent sounding (less warbly, less obvious, more like Melodyne -- and yes I know the response time I set factors into how warbly Autotune becomes) then I'll spring for the Production version. I'd love to get rid of Autotune for their stupid ilok bullshit.
My first tests with it have not been very positive compared to using Cubase's built in pitch correction, it seems to miss a numnber of notes completely however I have not tested it a lot to be fair.

The harmonies on the other hand are excellent!

No but I have used Melodyne in the past but like I say I only did a rough test of nectar best test it yourself
