I just got Nectar Elements with the Addictive Keys offer, and was very timely since I also got my first-ever condenser microphone and have been learning how to adapt to its sensitivity (namely I have to be like a statue to record with it!). I have been thoroughly impressed from Nectar Elements ability to "control" this beast, all the way down to a simple voice over sound (my den/studio is ~3300 cubic feet with no sound attenuation at all and hardwood covering 50% of its surface, so getting the voice over sound in this room impressed me to no end).
Today I happen to click on Nectar2 videos, and am immediately caught by a feature I have wanted to have for years... Specifically, being able to get harmonies in mass to create backing vocals (some adaptations I want the effect of a church choir). Low and behold, there it is! I am still reading through information on this, and feel foolish since I have seen "Izotope" in the forums on numerous occasions and never looked up what people were talking about. Their "Nectar 2 Production Suite" looks like it has "Melodyne" built right into the plug-in, so I was scratching my head wondering if there is a partnership there (it looks identical to Melodyne's interface).
I would love to hear from folks who have used Nectar 2, especially the harmonizing feature. Is this truly as simplistic and effective as their videos portray?
