EQ/Harmony Options
Equalizer
Soft Saturation
Turns on an algorithm which will gradually rolloff the level
through EQ bands if they start to saturate. Nectar can accur-
ately process signals with extended dynamic ranges and you
can leave this off in most cases. The exception would be if
you had reordered the modules so that the Equalizer was the
absolute last process in the chain, in which case this option
can soften any clipping that occurs in the EQ before being
sent to the output.
Show Hz/dB
Readout
Allows you to display a continuous readout of the mouse pos-
ition (in Hertz and decibels) when in the Equalizer module.
Alt-solo filter Q
Allows you to set the default Q or width of the filter that is
activated when Alt-clicking on the Equalizer.
Harmony
Range
An important control to set to correctly, the specified Vocal
Range will control how Nectar detects and analyzes vocals
coming into the Harmony module. The Middle setting is appro-
priate for most vocal tracks, but if you notice any undesirable
behavior or artifacts in the added voices, experiment with the
Low and High options to achieve the best results.
