Ladies & Gentlemen, today I was just enjoying the evening and scrolling through some of my plugins, actually rearranging them in my directory properly when I suddenly saw the Nectar 3 Elements sitting there and then instantly I remembered that I had purchased this thing and well, never used it, so I thought why not do it right away. Then when I just wanted to do a basic test for myself and my discord friends, I just kept on recording and remembering things which had to be shared with people aond, so I thought why not just make it an episode of A Talks Mics! and well, here it is. In this episode, I also share something I read on a sub reddit a couple of days ago about headphones for voiceovers, since I wanted to give you all a nice long processing experience with the Nectar 3 Elements, I thought while I share this with you guys, its gonna be a nice long processed segment for you to listen to and judge it for yourselves. My thoughts on the iZotope Nectar 3 Elements are kinda positive, its a nice run and gun editing plugin, definitely not free but worth the money you spend for acquiring it, is it just a plug and play thing, yes, but does it give you the option to tweak stuff to your liking, definitely yes, however bear in mind that no AI could be a substitute for your own adjustments and judgements, because how you edit is also a reflection of what you think how something must sound like, so yes definitely a nice plugin for people who are maybe absolute beginners and have no idea what fancy names like EQ & Compression all about or for someone who just wants to throw out some quick recordings without them being absolutely raw. I however observed that the plugin did emphasise on clarity a lot, it took out some of the bass in my voice which I kinda liked but maybe the Nectar did not, it added a certain thing called 'Tone' to the processing which made my voice sound rather unpleasant and tiring whih I did not like so I removed that as well, the compression was ok, no major colouring added there, the desser was not as effective as I would probably want it to be but I had to tweak it to my liking as well, all in all a great experience, worth the cost but still requires work on your end as per your judgement. That being said, do keep in mind that maybe you will like what you hear coming out of the plugin the very first time you use it, this did not happen with me, maybe because I am a bit more fussy in the processing department, but my overall opinion is that it works alright, again, that's just me and I request you not take my opinion on face value rather try it yourself and find what you like or dislike yourself and maybe share it with the world. So, now let's jump into today's A Talks Mics!
