Calibration Pitch (Hz)
By default, all pitches will be based upon a standard A = 440Hz tuning
reference. If your audio is not based on this standard reference pitch, or has
been moved slightly due to analog tape recording, you can adjust Nectar's
Reference Pitch here.
Key Detection
Start/Stop Detection
This button toggles Nectar’s Key Detection on and off. Click once to start detec-
tion and again when you feel you have accurate results. Generally, running
detection for one verse and chorus of your song is sufficient.
Suggested Keys
Once Key Detection has started, this selection window will be populated with a
prioritized list of suggested keys for your song. After Key Detection has been
performed for an adequate period of time (usually one verse and chorus), you’ll
find that the top three suggestions remain the same. Clicking the suggestions
from the list will automatically change the Root and Key settings described
above.
Visuals
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.
