Synchro Arts - VocAlign 7 Pro

Synchro Arts’ VocAlign 7 Pro software centralises vocal alignment within a multi-track environment where different takes can be processed together. This approach reduces repetitive tasks and makes it easier to work on vocal layers comprising leads, backing vocals and harmonies.

Processing can cover an entire vocal production, ensuring continuity between general corrections, track-by-track adjustments and targeted tweaks to specific clips. This flexibility suits both dense arrangements and takes requiring precise fine-tuning, without imposing a single working method at every stage of editing.

The joint management of timing and pitch developed by Synchro Arts enables precise cohesion to be achieved between multiple takes, whilst allowing control over the intensity of the corrections. Visual energy analysis helps identify sections where alignment becomes inconsistent, providing an additional reference point when processing numerous vocal layers or those that are particularly intertwined within an arrangement.

Vocal processing via VocAlign 7 Pro also retains a creative dimension thanks to independent control of formants. The various layers can thus gain in width or be better separated in the mix, using an approach that goes beyond simple technical correction. At the same time, the protection features allow you to preserve certain sections that are already satisfactory, ensuring that processing remains focused on the sections that genuinely require attention.

The management of synchronisation points provides precise control over the areas affected by alignment, with the option to preserve certain sections and limit the scope of the processing. Alignment settings can also be saved as custom presets, making it easier to maintain consistency across different projects. Pitch processing can be applied at the track or clip level, with sufficient granularity to accommodate complex vocal edits.

For owners of RePitch 2, the SynchroLink 2.0 integration maintains a direct link between the two tools, ensuring that pitch changes made in that environment are automatically reflected in VocAlign 7 Pro.

The non-ARA workflow has also been streamlined for Ableton Live and FL Studio, with an approach that avoids the old sidechain capture process and allows alignment to begin without having to scan the entire production first. This improvement reduces breaks in rhythm in projects where multiple processing steps follow one another.
