Hello,

I use Power Tracks for all of my harmonies and final mixes.

When you click on the "H" button, the dialog box opens for the TC harmonies. To the right side of that box, you set the Audio Input track/harmony output type/Audio output tracks.

Input-Select your vocal track.
Output Type-Multiple Mono Tracks
Audio Output Tracks-Select the next available track. (You only need to select one). Power Tracks will place the harmonies on individual tracks for ya, if you are using more then a single harmony.

On the left side of that box, I select "harmonize to the chord symbols." (Make sure you have the chords typed in the ("C7"button at the top of PT) chord view. You only need to enter the chords in the measures/bars you are wanting to create your harmonies with. The chords are vital to the generation process. You can go from a C to C7 etc... and the harmonies will follow the chords and generate the 7th part etc . . .

You can then select the measures/bars you want to generate your harmonies with the "From Bar" in the same dialog box. Very nice for generating certain parts of a song etc . . . Try different harmony parts (2dn 1 up) where you want a "fuller" sounding chorus/bridge etc..., whatever the case may be. Use it to "build" your song with, works very well.

The main thing is using a clean, dry, in-tune mono vocal track as the input track. Generate some parts.
Then pan the harmony tracks to R&L of vocal track & give em some FX. I start with the "background singer" preset for the DX FX in the track. Then adjust to taste.

You will have to do some trial and error, but once you understand how the TC uses the vocal track and chords to create with, you will be on your way. They will sound robotic in the preview, you have to add some FX and stuff to them post generation in order for them to blend in and sound good.

Good luck,

Trax
