Vari audio UPGRADE to the next level

Revoice Pro brings a lot more to the table in terms of vocal alignment than Sonar, at least based on the video, things like (and there are probably more I can’t think of right now): creating protective zones to exclude alignment in some areas (the process shown in the Sonar video doesn’t work well when the two vocals are significantly different, like if there were a breath, or a different voicing like an extra syllable, in one vs. the other); automating the degree of alignment; processing multiple tracks at once, and others.

Also, it can create the double track from the guide vocal in the first place (with results ranging from “very tight pitch and harmony double” to “very loose …”. To my ears, so far, the double tracks it creates sound better in the mix than solo’d, I’m working with support to see if that is something I’m not doing right or not. For comparison, my TC Helicon VoiceOne box creates double tracks that sound good even when solo’d.

Revoice Pro requires an iLok.

I’d guess they (Syncro Arts) are a good 3-4 years ahead of Sonar in this, and since this is all they do, they probably will always be at least somewhat ahead.

I’m happy I got it! Still evaluating it though …

Have you taken a look at Revoice Pro 3 yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Au5JLq7W5k

Yes, I have been using it, works great for alignment. Haven’t used RevoicePro 3’s VariAudio/Melodyne tuning function yet, one advantage over VariAudio is it can be used for other instruments and ranges besides voice … though of course it would be helpful only if the algorithm is good … look forward to trying that out one day, but TBH, I’ve just stayed with VariAudio so far.

The doubling function I’ve had some problems with … there are about half a dozen or so programmable parameters, but I found that any significant variation from default results in weird tuning artifacts … as though there is only a very tiny sweet spot on the “dial”. Staying within the sweet spot works well, but at least in my hands it makes it hard to dial up a 2nd double that is significantly different than the first, which is sometimes what I want to do.

+1

1. Ability to time align events on arrange window, but just limited to sample editor.
2. Match time alignment of one track to another (like Vocalign)
