I do not want my backing tracks to detract from the show, or hinder it's flow in any way. But all you have to have is a failure live and it get rather frustrating. So using nectar is great for recording, and i am sure someone will come along and say we are full of baloney, and it is great. It is also outside of the DAW so it has less effect on the DAWs performance. This is done pre-master fader and works well on live vocals. Also the software mixer for my Presonus interface has the VSL that mac talked about, and it has the 'fat channel' feature which has reverb, delay, compression, noise gate, and limiting capability on all channels. I use RB for live performance, but i process my vocals thru my TC helicon hardware for reverb and such.

So you say then i will bump up my sample rate, well sure but now you risk latency.

Sure it can be done, but is it wise?!? If you load up a ton of FX and run the input monitoring on that track it will eat up a lot of CPU cycles and risk pops, crackle, and glitches in playback. What a waste if I couldn't because there are some great presets that would make me sound very good. I sing online and also I could do a radio show with these nice radio show presets on this plugin. But I have streamed with Winamp in the past. That said, I unfortunately cannot further assist in configuring Nectar 2 for this setup.Ĭan I use RealBand to send the output to my streaming tool? I use Butt a free streaming program. Another option would be to send the output of your DAW as an audio input to your streaming tool. However, as Nectar 2 needs a DAW in order to be used, your streaming tool would need to be able to host Nectar as a VST plug-in. Nectar 2 includes a feature called 'Tracking mode', which uses less CPU-intensive and low-latency processing, which you could use during a live performance. Here is what iZotope said to me when I asked them about it. There are many great vocal presets and I would not only like to record with those but do some live singing online with them. Hey RealBand people, how are you? I just got Nectar 2 from iZotope.
