You get high without any side effects, which in my books is a ten out of ten.

Need air on the vocal without turning the esses into sharp knives to chop off your ears? Then this is it. The other really cool function is the Spectral EQ. Imagine having a vocalist backed up by their brothers and sisters you would get that tightness but with different character. I really found this so cool when using the lead singer to do backing vocals I removed all similar traits from the lead vocal so it gave me the depth I would get from hiring in a session singer but still with the tightness of the original singer. I swear this is an amazing tool and think this is as useful as pitch correction. Use the Resonance setting to completely change the character of the vocal without changing the pitch or using EQ. I found a really, really, really cool way of doing this. Normally, the quickest way is to EQ it and Bob's your uncle. In terms of vocal production, we as producers/engineers often have to give thin-sounding vocals more "warmth" or depth.

There is also a way of modifying the vocal speed to slow down and speed up the vocal in real-time, but I did not find a use for this function as I tend to move my vocals in Pro Tools. This is a labour-intensive method do this at home rather than in an expensive studio. Mode 3 is for when one has the sort of artist that can't sing, can't dance, but looks great (and will probably go a long way in music!!!!).

So in mode 2, with the capability of bending the really whack notes in tune-or if there is a section where multiple singers or backing singers are in tune, then the lead has to be too-the MIDI input combined with automatic mode is the King for me. I find that with the music I produce, once the vocal performance is too coached, I loose vibe. This is my favorite setting for me as I like to get more of the performance from my vocal takes (warts and all) and fix them later.

This is scale-based as well but with the ability to manually override the scale using a MIDI note. Depending on whether or not one is at the shallow end of the vocal talent pool, this will or will not work. Just type in the key of your tune and off you go. Scale- based auto mode is the fastest way of getting results. There are three ways you use the Pitch correction. Some of the demos will have you rolling on the floor with laughter! Also, keep in mind that you'll be hearing low-bandwidth MP3 artifacts (like comb- filtering) the VoicePro sounds much better in real life! Anyway, here are Neil's comments.Īmazing pitch correction keeps the natural sound of the original voice even when it's at "number 11." It does not remove the "life" out of the performance by sounding like a synth, which I feel the Antares TDM Auto-Tune does have a tendency to do. For each effect, I'd suggest listening first to the effected file before listening to the dry.

Afterwards, visit the TC-Helicon website, and download some of the MP3 audio demos. Pretend you have crooked teeth and a "ciggy" in your mouth, and read his words in an excited but half-whispered British accent to yourself, as if you're sharing revelations with an unenlightened friend.

His stream-of-consciousness comments follow. He spent a couple months with the VoicePro, and I asked him to tell me what he thought. I immediately took it down to my NYC studios, and handed it over to über-producer Neil Mclellan, whom I introduced to Tape Op readers in issue #49 with his review of the Dynaudio Acoustics BM5A/BM9S monitoring system. Six months later one ended up on my doorstep. It was the most gee-whiz product I saw at the show. Both in terms of usability and promised performance, it seemed years ahead of any plug-ins I'd seen. I realized very quickly that the combination of voice-trained pitch detection, voice modeling, and voice-optimized time-stretching-and just as important, a well-designed and efficient UI-makes it an extremely compelling product. The box was designed to do one thing really well: process the human voice. One of the engineers from TC walked me through some of the features and gave me a demo on a beta unit. It was at last year's NAMM show that I saw the VoicePro for the first time.
