Synchro Arts VocAlign Ultra Overview
Synchro Arts VocAlign Ultra Plug-in is an advanced vocal alignment and tuning plug-in. Aligning vocals has become an essential part of music production. With time in the studio being a precious commodity, VocAlign Ultra was designed to give the best possible results with the least amount of work. Using the latest alignment technology from the flagship Revoice Pro software, you can instantly align longer and more complex vocal sessions with unprecedented accuracy, more easily than ever before. Save time in the studio and explore your creativity to the fullest.
Offering a new Tightness control, you can decide how loose or tight you want your vocals to be. If super-tight isn't sounding right, then just loosen the setting in VocAlign for more organic and natural performance. Even better, the redesigned waveform based display makes it easy to see how your changes affect your signal. Pushing the envelope, Vocalign Ultra can even match the tuning of doubles of backgrounds automatically using the new Match Pitch feature, eliminating the need to ever manually tune other takes in your session.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionPerformance under the hood
Taken from the flagship Revoice Pro software, Vocalign Ultra uses the latest algorithms and technology to ensure maximum performance for your productions. You can now align longer and more harmonically complex tracks than ever before with unprecedented accuracy within seconds!
Eliminate manually edited doubles
Far more than simply a time alignment tool, VocAlign Ultra can now tighten up pitch variations as well. Don't waste your time tuning doubles and background vocals, using the Guide track, you can match the pitch of any other audio files in your session with stunning accuracy and speed.
Multiple Editing views
Ideal for making fast decisions or going in deep, VocAlign Ultra features basic and advanced editing modes. For more general changes that can be done on the fly, swapping to basic mode will save you time in the studio. Getting ultra-realistic and detailed alignment and pitch is just one step away from the advanced editor view.
Tune what you need, leave the rest
Avoid any unwanted processing using the new advanced Sync Point markers. These user-defined target points on your guide and dub tracks allow you to select a portion of your track that you don't want VocAlign to process.
SmartAlign
Saving you a tremendous amount of time in the studio, VocAlign Ultra detects your audio signal in the Dub track instead of the Guide to determine the starting and endpoints of your alignment.
Tighten up the slack
Newly introduced for VocAlign Ultra is the 'tightness' control, whereby you can manually determine how much alignment you want to apply to your track. Contemporary pop producers may want to drive the tightness control to the maximum for a more focused and quantised sound whereas blues-rock guitarists may want to slacken the setting for a double-tracked solo or rhythm for a wider, more natural sound.
Over 60 alignment presets
Coming loaded with a variety of carefully engineered presets spanning a wide range of scenarios, you can dive right into the alignment of your tracks without worrying about using the wrong settings for your project. All well-labelled and easy to navigate, you can use these presets as a jumping-off point for further tweaking, save them and come back to them in future projects.
Enhanced waveform display
Newly designed for VocAlign Ultra is the enhanced waveform display. This new display shows your audio much in the same way that your DAW would, as a detailed waveform showing the peaks and troughs of each waveform. Alternatively, you can view the pitch of your signals to view any pitch correction changes on a piano roll. Having access to this allows you to visually see the differences between your target and reference track to view the comparisons. Produce faster changes as a result and speed up your production workflow.
Scalable GUI
When working with multiple audio tracks in a large project, screen real-estate can be valuable. Because of this, VocAlign Ultra is completely scalable to any size you need to fit your screen and has in view everything you need to complete your project. VocAlign Ultra can be reduced to any size you need to show only the main controls of operation and leave out the window for a streamlined operation. See only what you need and leave out all the rest.
Full ARA2 integration with compatible DAWs
Save time in the studio by using VocAlign Ultra with your ARA2 (Audio Random Access)-enabled DAW. This plugin format communicates instantly between your plugin and DAW, eliminating the need for real-time audio capture as the file instantly be loaded through the plugin upon loading thanks to the sophisticated communication methods of this format.
