I believe there's a harmonizer in BB... but honestly, I have never used it. So I can't comment on it with intelligence.

I use Melodyne in my DAW. It can move notes anywhere on the pitch line you want them. However, the further you go from the fundamental pitch, the more you need to use the formant tool. That's what is supposed to keep the original timbre of the note so it doesn't sound like Alvin and the chipmonks singing. Your success in using that will vary. Personally, I've not been able to get a realistic sounding vocal from large pitch changes. HOWEVER.... if you use reverb and add several other pitch changed vocal harmonies and keep them low in the mix, you can pull it off reasonably well.


My preferred method of harmony vocals is old school.

The method I use quite a bit is to sit down at the keyboard and play a harmony part that works and then record it with the piano. The piano lets me work out the exact harmony rather than guessing and trying to wing it on the fly. I then take the time to learn it vocally and then record it. Even if I am off pitch a bit or miss a high note..... that is where Melodyne excels. Melodyne can move a note that half or full step easily and totally transparently. Since continuity is not as critical with the BGV as it is with the lead..... one can easily take it phrase by phrase and punch the parts in easily. I find this to be a rather quick way to get some decent harmony vox in a project. Oh yeah.... I have winged it more than a few times and that's even faster if you can do it that way.

Hope that helps you.
