@troy.schnider Год назад

Great explanatory video. The reason cutting out the vocal section works is because it ends on an open vowel. I that syllable were to end on a consonant sound --especially a plosive-- it would sound a lot muddier. I think it's totally acceptable on the open vowel. Sounds great!

i just bought their bundle with Repitch and VocAlign since its on sale right now for 30% off. I havent used the VocAlign yet so i was watching tutorial videos, and i can say that when you played it after you processed it, even though you said "you might say i didnt notice too much", i definitely noticed it, and thats actually crazy. I spend so much time on my doubles and harmonies. This actually makes me excited to edit layers now lol

@NathanJamesLarsen 2 года назад

Will it align main vocal single track to the main beat or music tracks when there are no backing tracks in a section?

@bwall615 2 года назад

LOL. Yea, it does work pretty good. As long as it’s a lot of vocals. I’ve been deleting parts of words in BGV’s for 30 years. Since Pro Tools 1. If you have two vocal tracks, a lead and one harmony, you have to be careful. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Vocalign is very cool though. Great video.

Hi Nathan, I often thought of purchasing this plugin already, but it’s quite expensive. Now there seems to be a cheaper version, Project 5, that you use and recommend. Still expensive, but perhaps I‘ll afford it. € 129 at Thomann Austria. Thanks for the tutorial. 👍🏻🙏🏻

It seems like there’s an overlap with Melodyne with some similar features and some that are different. Is it then valuable to have both in the toolkit?

@NathanJamesLarsen 2 года назад

Yeah you'd want both - Melodyne isn't gonna synchronize multiple different tracks together like this.

@petrikaivanto 2 года назад

I just published my first song and learning to use this. As I wrote in my comment above I first tuned the lead vocal and one harmony with Melodyne and then let Vocalign Ultra to tune the rest of the backing vocals as octaves. I am on M1 Mac, so of course it took time to first play the tracks to the plugin and then bounce in place, but no way I couldn't have got this result fixing everything manually. One of my backing singer was just my neighbor without any experience recording anything but with Vocalign his voice fits the rest perfectly.

True. I bought Vocalign Ultra and used it on my wife's latest song. It's really magical. I used Melodyne first to fix the tuning of the lead vocal and then ONE track of the harmony and then let Vocalign to do the rest. For octaves it works just fine. The only downside is that you need to bounce everything, but still this is a huge timesaver! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KABB5z0UG9Q.html

@gitarman666 Год назад

If you have Melodyne too why bother with ultra? Been running Melodyne studio and vocalign project as I feel it’s primary strength is in It’s, well, vocal aligning You can run a single take through any harmonizer or octaves for the effect I have been seeing in ultra (the pitch stuff) But nothing beats vocalign for stacked tracks, without overdoing it otherwise it just loses the natural Human quality and sounds like a demon barbershop quartet

@petrikaivanto Год назад

@@gitarman666 I didn't use Vocalign as harmonizer, but tuned first the lead vocal and one harmony vocal with Melodyne and then let Vocalign to do the aligning and the tuning of the other 10+ background tracks (incl. real octave doublings), but of course not too tight to keep it natural sounding. Of course, the most expensive version ReVoice 4 Pro would do everything, but since I already had Melodyne, I didn't want to buy that.

@todosmiros8119 Месяц назад

WHY are you worried about that? YOU WANT it to sound like BACKGROUND vocals... Stevie wonder's "with each beat of my heart" for example. Or "prince."
