Effortless Professional Vocal Mixing and Design
iZotope Nectar 4 Advanced provides an all-in-one environment for tracking, tuning, leveling, and polishing vocal performances. Designed for vocal producers, recording engineers, beatmakers, and podcasters, Nectar 4 combines surgical corrective tools with creative multi-effect layers.

From leveling dynamic vocal takes with the intelligent Auto-Level Module to eliminating harsh sibilance, tuning pitch in real time, and unmasking vocals against crowded instrumentals, Nectar 4 delivers radio-ready clarity in seconds.

Modular Power & Fast AI Workflow
The revamped Vocal Assistant interface allows making high-level sonic decisions—such as tone shape, space, width, and intensity—without getting bogged down in micro-parameters. For total routing control, Advanced edition users can split the mothership plugin into 13 separate component plugins across their DAW mixer channels.
