iZotope Nectar 2
Nectar 2 is a vocal processing Audio Unit (AU) plugin from iZotope, Inc., designed for professional music production and audio engineering workflows. It provides a suite of vocal-specific tools including EQ, compression, de-esser, saturation, delay, reverb, and pitch correction, all optimized for singing voice enhancement, mixing and mastering. Nectar 2 integrates into Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) like Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Reaper and others that support AU plugins, and is typically installed and managed through iZotope's Product Portal rather than as a standalone application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNectar 2 is an audio plugin component, not a standalone app, so it is updated through iZotope's Product Portal rather than through the App Store or a generic download. To upgrade to a native Apple Silicon build (if available), launch the iZotope Product Portal on your Mac, locate Nectar 2 in your installed plugins list, and check for updates through that interface. The Product Portal will automatically serve native builds to Apple Silicon Macs when available. If you do not have the iZotope Product Portal installed, visit iZotope's website to download and install it — this is the official plugin management and licensing tool for all iZotope audio products. Note that the host DAW itself must also be updated to a native Apple Silicon build for the plugin to run natively; if your DAW is still running under Rosetta 2, Nectar 2 will also run under Rosetta even if a native plugin build is available.
