As the most basic tier of Nectar 4, Elements focuses on getting usable vocals quickly through the Vocal Assistant, while deeper manual control lives in the Standard and Advanced versions.
iZotope Nectar Elements is the entry-level version of Nectar 4, iZotope's vocal mixing and production suite, and works with DaVinci Resolve. It provides essential tools for vocal production, including Vocal Assistant, Voices, Backer, key detection, and wet/dry options, aimed at getting a professional vocal with just a few clicks.
The Vocal Assistant kicks things off by recommending a starting point you can customize. The Voices module creates vocal layers from a preset you then tweak, while Backer builds background singers from eight styles or an acapella you import. You can also match the tone and loudness of an acapella track and use it in your own production, and work across over a dozen modules with intelligent processing and vocal unmasking. iZotope Relay serves as a central hub connecting your mix to the iZotope plug-in collection.
Nectar 4 comes in Elements, Standard, and Advanced versions, with Elements being the most basic. It is also available as part of the Elements Suite alongside RX Elements, Ozone Elements, and Neutron Elements.
iZotope Nectar Elements is best for hobbyists, home studios, and anyone taking first steps into vocal mixing who wants easy, intuitive ways to get a professional vocal.
