It seems from what I've read this might work. Knowing some here have the vl2 touch, I thought to ask.
Using VL2T, sewnd BIAB midi file to VL2T to create harmonies for studio recording vocal track and have the backing track on separate track on something like Sonarx3.
Christmas maybe be the only way to get some new equipment and I've looked at this for awhile.
If there's a better(cleaner) routing/way to do this please mention as well.
Thanks Wyndham

Doable, yes but not real practical. The VLT is really a Live performance tool. Sending BIAB midi to control harmony is easy (if you know how to do it), but the routing both the dry and wet processed voice back onto a track on your DAW takes a bit of work. And actually, I have found I only want to record the dry vocal and then use the VLT to process the vocal track and re-record the effect. That really can make you crazy. Not like putting a VST on a track. But there is really no vocal VST as good as the TC voice live series.

But up to you. I did a video on how to use BIAB to control harmony on VLT together to do half of what you want. Do a search here in the forum and you should find it.

BIAB needs Paul Warrens VST Redirect to send the midi chords to the VL if you are using any internal synth for midi backing sound at the same time. That was the key that solved the puzzle.
