I just saw that you can rent to own the all new iZotope Nectar 3 on splice.com for only $9.99 a month. Guess I'll be adding to my monthly bill next week lol.

I watched part of a Nectar 3 demo yesterday. Some real innovation happening with this, just like we have come to expect from iZotope over the years. The visual compressor for example, what a great idea! And so easy to use.
Not mad about the pricing though, my limited time special introductory upgrade price is $249. Seems a little steep considering I already own Ozone 8, Neutron 2, and Nectar 2.

Sale is gone, but it was 50% off (pre-sale price) at plugin boutique only couple of days ago. I am sure they will have similar "flash" deals in near future.
Yes, Izotope added features, re-designed interface and looks (and I believe workflow) very similar to Neutron 2, but if I understood correctly it just "looks" of Neuron 2 interface, you can not inter-change modules, adding items like FX from Nectar to Neutron. It seems one of their muscle features is interconnection with their VST's across tracks, like Neutron. Interesting if they
done it with Nectar... If you can control Nectar through Neutron.
I got my Neutron 2 Advanced full version at $140 second hand with full licence transfer at KVR. Seems like some nice features were added to Nectar 3, but I will wait for some sort of flash sale or pick up second hand at some point. I want to see some user experience feedback & videos before considering it.

Problem with flash sales is you never know when they will be or if you'll have the extra cash laying around at that time. I know in the long run I'll be paying full price by leasing it but budgeting an extra $10 a month is easier for me. I don't know about interchanging FX within the master program but if it's anything like Neutron or Ozone you should be able to run separate modules (ie. Compressor or EQ) as individual plugins.

Samuel, I can totally see the benefit of "rent to own". Drop a line here after you use it. Curious to know user opinion if the plug is good... or GREAT?
Thanks.

I wonder if that is included in the splice deal.

Hi Blue ,
I think if you log into ur account their is a discount for you !I think it could be 99 dollars instead of 249 but Im not sure .Check it out Hi Hugh, I got the $249 price by logging into my account. But just did a bit more digging, that $249 is for the "Vocal Chain Bundle" which includes Nectar 3 among other things. Regular price for the bundle is $399. But it seems I should be able to upgrade to just Nectar 3 for $149 according to one spot on their website (not a bad price considering it comes with Melodyne 4), however when I actually log into my account that pricing is not available. I just sent them off an email to ask about it. I also saw that $99 price, that is for Nectar 3 elements which is missing most of the modules. Anyway, I'll see what they come back with.

Hi Dave,
I posted a link for Neutron Elements VST... which is almost free at pluginboutique. You can:
1) Get that plugin
2)Register with Izotope.
3)Get Cross-grade price for Nectar 3 (which is the same as as upgrade from Nectar 2, but with one important difference!)
4) If you do it as cross-grade, you are free to sell or give Elements and your Nectar 2 license to anybody without losing Nectar 3!
I know that for a fact.
Now, the problem I see is this... If Nectar 2 was used in the project will it retain settings if you use replace it with Nectar 3? Or you have to maintain both plugins?
In any case, do it or not, the option I described gives more flexibility.

Dave,
$149 should be the update or cross grade price.
If you (or anyone) decides on it, try this coupon at checkout: CC54XHHQOKY1A
saves a couple of bucks.

I downloaded Nectar 3 from splice last night. Just used it on a cover song I've been recording. It works really well. The Vocal assistant and the Unmask features work well, but I ended up using one of the presets for this song. I did use the Unmask feature with the preset. It's nice that you can run it separate from the vocal assistant so you can use it with any of the presets or your own settings. I also added two of my other favorite vocal plugins to the inserts and they really compliment each other well.
