iZotope releases Nectar 2 Production Suite

iZotope has announced the release of Nectar 2 Production Suite.

Designed specifically for voice, Nectar 2 harnesses the power of iZotope's vocal technologies to quickly and easily treat your voice to sweet results. Whether you're tracking or mixing, Nectar 2 is designed to deliver professional vocals fast.

"When developing Nectar 2, we focused on adding cutting edge tools like the new Harmony and FX modules, as well as classic tools that have made vocal recordings sound great for decades, like the new EMT 140-modeled plate reverb," says Brett Bunting, Product Manager at iZotope. "By providing all the tools necessary to create a unique vocal chain, we're excited to make working with vocals even more inspiring for our users."

Exclusive to the new Nectar 2 Production Suite, two additional plug-ins are included for perfecting your vocal sound. Pitch correction is simpler than ever with the new Pitch Editor plug-in, and you can remove distracting breaths without tedious, time-consuming editing with the new Breath Control plug-in.
