    Thankyou for doing these tutorials Geoff. You do an absolutely great job of them always. I find that in many other tutorials that people do they are talking about what can be done but they hardly ever tell you in detail how it can be done. This is not the case with you. I always come away from your videos with a good understanding of how to use the products. Its a big help... so again Thankyou so much for being very good at what you do Geoff.

      @@lNowHerel izotope make a plugin called neutron. You put it on whatever channels you like and it shows you the frequency analysis. Say you have a guitar and vocal with the plugin inserted, you open one up and it shows you the analysis for both and which frequencies are masking or clashing with the vocals. It then lets you EQ either guitar or the vocal, or both to fix the issues. It does more than that too. Best to look for izotope neutron on RUclips and watch for yourself 👍

    In this demo the Backer voices sound great. When you listen to them separately, e.g. changing your own voice, you will probably find that most of them sound strange. And in my experience it is very hard to make that go away. I would like to see and hear more tutorials or examples of how to get this to sound right.

    I've already done the update. It's expensive, but here we have a completely new machine then the old Nectar. Also, the finally the possibility to use single modules as plugins. Auto-level is perfect. And in general, it's always a good start up for mixing vocals or, as happens, when you are in a hurry. Anyway, I think is a great evolution from the previous version.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Geoff,
    I also own RX 10 -- for tone-matching vocal references, should I use 'Lens' as you suggested in this video, or would it perhaps be better to use 'Music Rebalance' on the 'Best' setting (which is excellent, I use it all the time) to isolate the vox within RX, and then simply train lens on the 'Capture' setting instead of 'Acapella'?
    Which of these methods should yield the best results?
    Thanks!

For example i record myself into the daw and the only plugin i put on the vocal line is antares, on the other lines are my not rendered drum mix with a ruff mix. So how is the order? can i now put nectar directly on the vocals? or do i has to render the whole song first? i cant find a tutorial on your channel where you explain it. The end result is i got everything in my projeck, put izotope 10 on the master and let it run xd. please tell me a link for detalied description in which order i has to use the programms.

I probably could have just used Mel. Ess. but wanted full mouse-dragging-level control over individual vocal nuances. I never heard "metadata" being used that way, like perceived eq profile of a vocal in a song (versus embedded text details like title or artist name). It's weird how many audio experts have my own, same, exact room and door :)

And what are the differences between those 2 upgrades, and don't tell me to watch this video. I'd LOVE to see the Marketing DEPT do their JOB and put out a Comparison Chart for those two because I have not seen one of those on your complicated website, unless I either missed it, or it's buried somewhere, OR it's not there. Anyone know? Think I maybe be done dealing/buying from Izotope for awhile, like I've already done with WAVES.

We understand the need for a company to protect its investment, but they should come up with a solution that we can more easily swallow.
