Vocalign - HELP

Post by Dranyar »

I’ve recently purchased Digital Performer because of the ARA2 integration on Windows. Melodyne, and Spectralayers works WONDERFULLY…….. Vocalign Ultra does not work at all in ARA2. :banghead:

Can someone please help me understand the workflow for aligning vocals in DP11.2 ESPECIALLY if there are speedy “secrets” that allow me to work close to the rate of Vocalign Ultra.

Thank you in advance.

You don't need ARA to use Vocalign but it makes loading a lot faster. Otherwise, you're sending the track over in real time before it appears. The AU for Melodyne works the same way. The old Vocalign tutorial for DP shows this.

ARA 2 requires a VST3 — is that available to you? I no longer have it so I don't know the answer to that question.

I do have Vocalign…… I’m using Windows 10 so the process is different for me. I’m using the vst3 plugins mainly so that access is also available for me. My assumption has caused me to purchase DP11.2 assuming that I’d be able to us Vocalign on Windows 10 now. I have been sofar mistaken.
I’m now looking for the method to with get Vocalign to work OR a workaround that will allow me to sync “stacked vocals” together ESPECIALLY at the speed of Vocalign if possible.

The reason I couldn't use Vocalign is that it just wouldn't work with the senior citizen voices I was trying to "align".

Well, I haven’t talked to Synchro Arts but I HAVE talked to Motu support and the only thing they provided for me was “we’re working on a fix for Windows”…… basically showing that they know it doesn’t work. 😔

Mind you Spectralayers, and Melodyne Studio works (though I can’t quantize audio to another track through Melodyne ARA) as you would expect.

So as to not have complete buyers remorse, I’m trying to figure out how I can use DP11.2 and my hang up is aligning vocals with ease, let alone at all.

Please help. 🙏🏽
