As such, Nectar Pro can now detect a sung or rapped vocal and can narrow down the best range of options for your performance. Professional engineers know there’s a huge difference in mixing vocals in different musical contexts. After the listening pass, all further adjustments you make happen in real-time. Vocal Assistant now listens to your audio before presenting you with suggestions to create personalised results. If you close Vocal Assistant, Nectar saves your settings so you don’t have to re-run the assistant to make changes.
