Avid VocALign PRO Plug In (Pro Tools)
VocALign’s unique ability to align two signals enables it to be used creatively to take guide or even "live" tracks and create performances with perfectly aligned overdubs. This plug-in gives Pro Tools users perfectly aligned doubletracked vocals, tight backing vocals, easy re-grooving of recorded vocals for remixing and shorter overdub sessions. Users also have the ability to choose the best rhythm and pace for a specific vocal, or even lay down the required tempo pattern for the artist.
• VocALign PRO V4 takes just seconds to automatically align two audio signals so that the timing of one matches the other
• Simple, intuitive operation and Audio Suite plug in integration with Pro Tools
• Sophisticated pattern matching techniques that reject guide track noise and work with different speakers, singers, words, instruments and sounds
• Works with 16- and 24-bit audio
• The aligned audio can be auditioned within VocALign PRO
• The Pitch of aligned audio is unchanged
