Izotone Nectar bundle

Is anybody here using this with satisfactory results? I purchased it and have yet to come across any effects that really sound good. The Harmony module in particular sounds terrible, unusable. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but... (like not getting off my lazy butt and singing two more tracks...)
The rest of the features, well, just seem to be average and better ones available just within the effects that already come with X 3 p. Maybe a little more experience will open my eyes.

    I'm very impressed with how great the bundle is.
     
    Alloy 2 is my new best friend.
     
    I posted elsewhere about this:

    I must say, that the tutorial on Nectar 2 really helped me get the extra nuances of how to make the harmonies work.

    Whatever package I own is is suite of vocal plugs and I don't seem to see alloy among them.
    Anyway where did you find good instructional tutorials on the harmonizer? I have searched and found nothing but promotional videos.
    Thanks

    Steve - I have the Studio bundle, which is the recently updated bundle with Ozone 5, Alloy 2 and Nectar 2.

    The Nectar 2 tutorial is for sale only on the iZotope site in their store. The tutorial is very detailed and shows numerous nuance settings for the harmonizer in Nectar 2 that are not at all apparent from watching the promo videos. To be honest, I don't like the tutorial company of this so much because they have a strange platform for watching their material - but the content of this tutorial is excellent and it is very helpful.

    Although everything about this bundle is working like a charm for me and "as advertised", now that I've been working with Alloy 2 and see what it can do, I would have spent the same amount for the full bundle just to get Alloy 2. The funny thing is, I bought the bundle specifically for Ozone 5 and Nectar 2, both great and I'm wowed. I just got the included Alloy 2 as part of the value. Then I tried Alloy 2 - and I fell out of my chair in surprise.

    I have downloaded the Nectar 2 demo but am not overimpressed with it. I have been interested in particularly two instances, the harmonizer (which I guess I would rather use as a doubler) and the autopitch. Both sound not as I expected them to sound, to say politely. Anything else (effects, EQ, compressor) is okay, but not really a must.
     
    I really think it is a shame that they are selling tutorial videos, keeping in mind that Izotope plug-ins are not the cheapest. If someone could explain if there is a way to make the harmonizer and the autopitch sound great, I maybe would consider buying it. Those vids should really be free, imho
