Strictly speaking, not all the steps are necessary. But if something is failing, you'll be able to identify where things go wrong.

Unless BiaB is going to adopt something like Vocaloid, I think integrating something like SoftVoice is the way to go. That way, BiaB isn't dependent on some third-party tool that they've got no control over.

Good luck!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
