Available for download, iZotope Tonal Balance Control 2 is metering software designed for mixing and mastering music. It is designed to show you vital information about your mix's frequency profile, and to help guide you to a frequency target that best matches your genre.
Load up a genre or style from the Preset menu and see how your program material compares. If you want, you can also load individual songs or entire albums from your collection into the plug-in to be analyzed for comparison. Two viewing options are on hand: a finer view, and a more detailed view, for helping you see how you compare to your references. You can solo bass, middle, and treble ranges to hear them independently. A crest-factor meter tied to the low end shows how compressed your bass information is by measuring and displaying the peak-to-average ratio of low-end elements.
New to Tonal Balance Control 2 is inter-plug-in communication with other iZotope products. You can now tweak instances of Neutron, Ozone, and Relay within Tonal Balance Control 2, so you that you can correct issues within your mix from the same GUI you're using to meter. Tonal Balance Control 2 is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms. It will operate within AU, VST2, VST3, and AAX plug-in formats.
Polish your vocals to a professional sheen with iZotope Nectar 3 Plus, a downloadable plug-in designed for vocal mixing and production. Everything you need to process the human voice is here, from high-quality equalizers and compressors to modulation and time-based effects. No longer will you need to break out a vocal into parallel tracks or aux returns—now you can do it all in one intuitive yet powerful interface.
Nectar 3 Plus is a revamped version of Nectar 3, a plug-in venerated among top pros and aspiring amateurs alike for its ease of use and for its studio-quality sound. Chief among the improvements is an upgraded Virtual Assistant. Like many iZotope plug-ins, this software can analyze incoming audio and generate a custom-tweaked starting point for your mix. Nectar 3 Plus improves the Unmask Mode of the Virtual Assistant, giving you more control over how your vocal sits in the overall mix. Also, RX 8 Breath Control is now included, alongside Melodyne 4 Essentials for pitch correction.
- Shape your tracks with a comprehensive drag-and-drop EQ, one which can follow the harmonics in a vocal to automatically tamp down resonances or emphasize pleasant parts of the voice. This EQ can also be used in a dynamic mode for creative or tone-correcting effects.
- Balance your vocal level without pumping or other compression artifacts thanks to an exceedingly natural auto-level, which rides the vocal in a ±3 dB range of your selected target.
- De-ess your vocals transparently with the De-esser module.
- Add character-enhancing or dynamics-taming compression with a dedicated compression module, which has several selectable modes to model vintage or modern hardware.
- Gate out extraneous noise with the gate.
- Use subtle automatic pitch correction, or dive in deeper with Melodyne 4 Essentials, included with Nectar 3 Plus.
- Control stray breaths with RX 8's Breath Control Module.
- The Dimension module provides chorus, flanging, and more.
- Reverb and Delay modules offer exciting and tweakable time-based effects.
- The Harmony module offers the ability to add up to 8 voices of harmony, which can be pitched up or down, at Unison for double tracking effects, or played through MIDI. The Harmony mode offers modulation over the pitch and speed of the additional harmonies, and you can pan them all on an easy-to-read GUI.
- Add harmonic excitement to the vocals with Saturation.
Quit wasting hours trying to blend your reverb correctly in the mix; instead, download iZotope's Neoverb, and hear the right reverb in seconds, thanks to its AI-powered technology. The Reverb Assistant customizes the verb to your particular needs. No matter the sound source, Neoverb can listen to it, analyze it, and create the perfect reverberation setting in response.
Neoverb is a rare piece of software that is equally useful to beginners and professionals. For the beginner, tweaking a reverb to blend correctly is difficult and time-consuming, but Neoverb accomplishes this feat quickly. The Reverb Assistant also shows you how it generated settings through its intuitive interface, teaching you about reverb in the process. The professional engineer, on the other hand, is often working against deadlines. Neoverb cuts down on the time it takes to select and tweak the right plug-ins, helping you achieve the sound you want with greater speed.
Available for download, Celemony Melodyne 5 Essentials is pitch-and-time-shifting software that is well-regarded for its ability to tune and rhythmically realign notes. Professional mixing engineers often use Melodyne to heighten the performance of parts that don't quite make the cut, either in monophonic or polyphonic situations.
Version 5 boasts many new features and various improvements over version 4. A Level Macro can execute dynamics control in a more broadstroke manner, without sacrificing musical results. The new Melodic algorithm tunes material in such a way as to preserve its fundamental humanity and natural sound. For tuned instruments such as tablas or 808 kick drums, Melodyne 5 Essentials offers a new Percussive Pitch algorithm. Editing chords is also much easier thanks to the new Chord Track.
Overhauls have been made in integrating shortcuts and saving presets. Also, the file-saving system has been revamped: no more separate .mdd files; all detection data is now saved to the audio file itself, simplifying your file directory in the process.
Melodyne 5 Essentials is a standalone piece of production software, but it can communicate with supported DAWs via ARA integration, or you can use the sotware as a VST, AU, or AAX plug-in. It is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems.
- New Melodic algorithm with sibilant detection for natural-sounding results
- New Leveling macro to reduce or eliminate excessive volume disparities between notes
- New Percussive Pitched algorithm for instruments such as tabla, berimbau, or 808 kick drums
- search functions for keyboard shortcuts, saving of shortcut sets
- Psychoacoustically Accurate Pitch Correction: Sometimes an out-of-tune note needs to stay untweaked to preserve the humanity of a performance. Sometimes a note needs to be tuned to sound correct. Melodyne can now better identify and pin down the all important human element while tuning vocal. The software can identify problem areas precisely, and the offset shown in the Note Inspector will be calculated from the pitch of each note at the crucial moment only, rather than its duration. As a result, double-clicking a note value can now yield a musical and correct result. Each individual note is pitched to perfection. Yet everything still sounds natural and alive
- Chord Track and Chord Grid: Melodyne 5 Editor offers a chord track that is linked to the Pitch Grid in the Note Editor. This makes working with chords far more enjoyable and working with harmonies much more transparent. Because you can see which pitches are compatible with the current chord at any time, you can adapt the notes accordingly with lightning speed. This is helpful when you're altering chords, and if you want to match any sample harmonically to your music
- Robust Pitch Curve: With this new option, you can obtain better sound quality when editing certain signals, such as those with a great deal of reverberation. When it is activated, the monophonic algorithms employ a pitch curve that has been slightly smoothed out
- Improved Complex Algorithm: This algorithm has been improved, and can now be used just as flexibly as the Tonal algorithm when it comes to formant preservation and manipulation
- Better Keyboard Shortcut: A new search function for keyboard shortcuts has been added, and the saving of personalized shortcut sets has been improved
- No More .mdd Files: Melodyne's detection data, which was previously saved to separate .mdd files, is now stored in the audio files themselves, making file directories clearer, and the sharing of projects easier
