Improved Unmask

With intelligent, assistive vocal mixing, once time-consuming tasks like dynamics processing, EQ cuts, and de-essing can now be performed with precision in seconds.

Control your Unmasking

Vocal Assistant: Unmask talks to other iZotope plug-ins to send information and clean up audio in your mix that's clashing with your vocal. You can visualize the Unmasking via a new EQ window in Neutron, Relay, or Nectar 3, and control the effect with a new Amount slider. Turn on the Dynamic setting, and Nectar 3 Plus tracks the vocal and ensures the unmasking only occurs when the voice is present. 

* Vocal Assistant: Unmask works in Nectar 3 Plus, Relay, and Neutron 3 Standard and Advanced

Stephan Engblom

"To be honest I’ve always felt insecure with mixing vocals and always felt it’s lacking that extra touch. All I can say, I don’t feel that anymore! Now I have Nectar 3 to “fix” the vocals so they sound like I always imagined them to."
