Nectar Standard sits above Elements with added Vocal Unmask, a Follow EQ mode, and Gate and Reverb modules, plus bundled Melodyne 5 essential. Note that Backer is trained only on English-language material.
iZotope Nectar Standard is part of Nectar 4, a set of tools for mixing, producing, and designing vocals inside DaVinci Resolve. Its Vocal Assistant provides a broad interface for vocal production decisions and recommends a starting point you can customize, backed by over a dozen modules, intelligent processing, and vocal unmasking.
The Standard edition includes Vocal Unmask, a Follow EQ mode, and Gate and Reverb modules. The Voices module builds vocal layers from a preset you can tweak, while Backer creates background singers from eight styles or an imported acapella. Audiolens tone-matches a reference vocal by separating it from the reference track, and Melodyne 5 essential is included for time and pitch correction. iZotope Relay connects your mix with the iZotope plug-in collection.
Nectar Standard runs as an AU, AAX, or VST3 plugin, all 64-bit, on macOS and Windows, and supports DaVinci Resolve 18.5. It earns its place in the Toolfarm library as a vocal mixing and production option for Resolve users.
iZotope Nectar Standard is best for mixing, producing, and designing vocals in DaVinci Resolve with assistant-driven modules.
iZotope Nectar Standard is completely free to download and use.
