You can only keep track of so many things at a time! smile

Is there any chance you could do a mini teach-in on these
Pg forums how you use this tech with biab/rb etc?

I'll give it some thought. My workflow is:


  • Generate the backing tracks in BiaB.
  • Export a single backing track in SynthesizerV
  • Create the melody in SynthesizerV
  • Export the melody as a .wav file
  • Create a mix in my DAW


When I go back into SynthesizerV to edit the vocals, I just re-render the vocals. Because it renders using the same .wav file name, it "magically" appears in my DAW with the new version. Your DAW may behave differently.

Like BiaB, SynthesizerV doesn't store the audio, so it regenerates the audio when it loads up. That can take a minute when working with a full song with multiple voices. So I generally leave SynthesizerV running so I can toggle over to it without any startup time delays.

SynthesizerV also works as a VSTi, but I believe it requires the full version. I find it easiest to work in the non-VSTi version, although I haven't really spent much time trying to get it to work. My DAW is already creaking with the number of VSTis that are loaded into projects, so I figure it's safer to split up the work.

You could also import a MIDI file of the melody created by BiaB if you wanted, but BiaB inserts small gaps between melody notes, and the MIDI import feature in SynthesizerV leaves something to be desired. The last time I tried it, a bunch of invisible (because they were so small) notes were created, and it was a real pain to delete them all... partly because they were invisible! frown

So I find it simpler to just build the melody in the full version of the program.

In my case i would like to use femme back up vocs carefully crafted ....
To be as natural as possible bcos i cant afford live femme session vocallists..
You are very adept at using the tech and i feel lots of pg users might become interested As this vocal tech developes further.

In the meantime, here is link to the tutorial videos put out by the company. Feel free to send me a text if you've got any questions. Their website is pretty awful and confusing.

The free version of the software supports two voices and one backing track, which is more than enough for most of my projects. The full version of the software has a lot of neat features, but I'd start with the free version to make sure the software does what you want.

There are also a number of free "Lite" versions of the voices, not all of which are listed on their website.

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