Complete Vocal Suite Nectar is a complete set of 11 vocal production effects combined in one plug-in that’s designed to give you immediate results. Built-in Styles get the grunt work out of the way so you can focus on the creative finishing touches. Features include automatic pitch correction, manual note editor, breath control, gate, compressors, saturation, EQ, de-esser, doubler, limiter, reverb, delay and tons of built-in Style presets. Quickly get the 60s Motown sound, the early 90s grunge rock sound, a radio-ready podcasting sound, a subtle jazz vocal or a modern pop sound — everything from delicate improvements to highly-produced robotic pitch effects. Start by selecting one of Nectar’s dozens of Styles. Unlike typical presets, Styles configure a professionally-designed effect chain with producer-level controls like Clarity, Warmth and Sparkle. From there, narrow in on the vocal sound you want or experiment with the advanced modules to create a new sound. Either way, Nectar is designed with both the beginner and professional in mind—you choose the level of detail you want to control. Download Nectar and get the perfect vocal sound today.

Creative Workflow. With Sweet Results. You want your vocals to shine, and Nectar has all of the tools you need to work intuitively for immediate results. Start by polishing the vocal with the De-Esser, Breath Control, Gate and Pitch Correction controls. Next, craft the sound with the Levels, Space and Style-specific controls like Presence, Drive, Grit and more. From there, dive into the details in the Advanced View. Further, use the Mixing/Tracking option for each step of vocal production. Track with low-latency. Mix with the highest possible quality.

All the Tools. Vocal production requires a wide range of tools and effects from the cleanup stage after tracking to the creative stage during mixing. Nectar comes with a complete set of 11 tools and effects ranging from a pitch correction editor to parallel compressors and reverb, all carefully designed for voice.

Immediate Results. Traditionally, auditioning a few different sounds can require all sorts of tedious routing and parameter setup of individual plug-ins.

Tim Exile and Native Instruments present “The Mouth”

NativeInstruments | November 03, 2010 Electronic artist and innovator Tim Exile showcases “The Mouth” – a new software instrument that can turn any audio signal into music. Sing, beatbox, or send a drum loop into it, and “The Mouth” comes to life as a highly expressive and somewhat unpredictable synthesizer, vocoder or talkbox-like instrument. The Mouth can be used as a stand-alone application and as a plug-in in a DAW or host sequencer, covering all kinds of live performance and music production scenarios.

FG-X Virtual Mastering Processor Worldclass mastering compressor with transparent and articulate sound Revolutionary ITP process to make your mixes louder without degradation Controls for low and high punch Ultra precise mastering quality metering Mac/Windows VST, RTAS, AU

The Concept

Imagine mastering your mixes without causing the lifeless, squashed, and over compressed sound that has become so common in modern music. We have all been at the mercy of the “loudness wars” for over ten years now. Masters have become louder and louder, at the expense of the music becoming harsh and lacking punch and dynamics. One of the main causes of this epidemic is the use of the Peak Limiter to achieve increased levels in the mastering stage. Peak limiters attenuate transients and often reduce punch, stereo imaging, can greatly alter mix balances, and cause a fatiguing result to the ears.

Some of the top mastering engineers have found ways to combat this sonic degradation by using techniques other then Peak Limiting. One of the more popular techniques is the use of saturation in both the analog and digital domain. Another popular method is clipping the front end of expensive A/D converters.

However, both of these methods, while better then peak limiting, have their downfalls. Static saturation curves are not universal in their ability to sound good on all transients. Clipping greatly reduces low end punch and is very poor at retaining sub bass. Both static saturation and clipping have a small window of gain maximizing before audible distortion. Enter SLATE DIGITAL.

FG-X DYNAMICS RACK

Two years ago Steven Slate and expert algorithm engineer Fabrice Gabriel started working out the concept for a digital audio process that could increase the level of a mix without altering the punch and dynamic feel, or make the mix sound squashed and lifeless. They started by researching saturation curves and their effect on various types of transient material. After several months of study and hundreds of listening tests, they made some fascinating discoveries. What they found, was that in order to transparently add level to a mix, a dynamic and intelligent transient saturation system would have to be developed.

New ADVANCED ALGORITHMS were created to execute the extremely complex communication system that would be needed to properly perform the new dynamic operations. A new algorithm was formed, and the process was named “Intelligent Transient Preservation”, or ITP. Read more at www.slatedigital.com
