These will force VocAlign to ignore either pitch or timing alignments, should they be causing problems for the algorithm’s work. The new pitch operations that second option displays are really the big addition here - features ported from the company’s ReVoice suite to offer an all-in-one workflow for (relatively speaking) basic pitch alignment tasks.Īny part of the Output waveform can be assigned ‘Safe’ areas, denoted by shields positioned in a drag and drop manner in the area below that window which covers the waveform in red. This makes it easy to see alignment changes, though the view can be switched by buttons below to show pitch or energy information - the latter being the display method of older VocAlign versions. Either way, its new, blue, interface offers three windows to the left that outline the operation.Īt the top is Guide, where the reference track sits below that is Dub, or the track to be aligned to the reference and below that Output, which provides a graphic representation of the changes VocAlign has made to the Dub track by displaying the new altered waveform inside an outline of the Guide. For VST3 and AU users it can sit on an insert slot of the track to be altered. For me, once installed and licensed via iLok, it became available in Pro Tools’ Audio Suite menu for use within the DAW. So, we come to the new iteration of VocAlign: Ultra. Ultimately, though, this review isn’t the time or the place to debate the merits of the audio-industrial complex and its ways of doing things, or my penchant for an easy solution so I can spend more time on stuff I actually enjoy. Modern production methods demand modern solutions, too.

Ultimately, I’m quite lazy, though - and see technology being used to make onerous and/or repetitive tasks easier as the epitome of progress. If you’ve toiled over the task of wrangling tight vocal stacks and backing vocals, are blessed with perfect pitch, or even come up with your own creative solutions, I can see why it would feel like a shortcut. 'Do people still roll their eyes at things like SynchroArts’ VocAlign plug-ins? Do people still show disdain for technology that turns ‘studio magic’ into a sleekly-workflowed ‘process’, and reduces a task that used to take hours to little more than a few mouse clicks? I don’t know, ‘cause I’ve stopped listening to them, to be honest - and I don’t hold much truck with that thinking. VocAlign Ultra - Resolution Magazine - June 2021
