High-shelf Filter
When saturating your vocals, often times the added harmonic content can make
the sibilant frequencies in a vocal take harsh or biting. Click and drag on the
high-shelf filter node in order to reduce the gain of these high frequencies.
The high-shelf filter will only reduce the high frequencies present in the sat-
urated (wet) signal. Different saturation algorithms such as the Tube and Warm
modes, rely on a strong dry signal in order to perform their saturation. As such,
the high-shelf filter will have varying amounts of perceived effect on your vocals
depending on the algorithm chosen.

Mini-spectrum Display
Each module of Nectar features a display of the frequency spectrum at the top
for reference while making changes to your audio within the module. The Sat-
uration module’s Mini-spectrum Display also features a high-shelf post-filter
which filters only the wet (saturated) signal.
