Audio Random Access (ARA), which was developed by Celemony and Presonus, makes two-way communication between plugin and DAW much slicker and considerably improves the user experience. There’s no doubt that designing pitch and timing manipulation plugins that work successfully and seamlessly across multiple DAWs is no easy task. (Image credit: Synchro Arts) Audio Random Access

It’s worth emphasising VocAlign Ultra matches rather than corrects pitch, so make sure your Guide is in tune. Algorithm Mode 2 is designed specifically for vibrato-heavy sounds.įinally, the Pitch Ranges setting can help focus the pitch detection algorithm towards specific higher or lower ranges for both Guide and Dub. Monotone is a more creative option that shifts to a single designated pitch (+/- up to 1 octave). Next up, Relative imposes the pitch modulation of the Guide and is ideal for dialogue matching. Two of these (Nearest Octave and Absolute) deliver full-on pitchshifting, and for us did an impressive job of shifting harmony parts to match our lead. Algorithm Mode 1 has four settings that dictate pitch target behaviour. Quick to use and affordable, Project is definitely worth considering if you’re on a tighter budgetįor pitch, the advanced features include the Pitch Target knob, which gradually moves from favouring the Dub to favouring the Guide, and two pitch matching Algorithms. Doesn’t specifically match timing, but delivers extensive pitch and timing manipulation/quantising.
