Bud,

I'm not in the same league as BD Thomas. Thanks a lot for the link. That helped enormously. I've spent the last couple of days have a play around. In theory, The tools are present in Synth V that would allow a user to shape notes any way that they want. That said, I'm not sure that Synth V is yet responsive enough to nail all the nuances of Janice's performance. As the program presently stands, and in my raw-beginner novice's opinion, it would require a significant amount of manual input to to shape notes in a way that begins to resemble Janice's singing.

I have no doubt that Synth V will grow as the years pass, just like BIAB has. In fact, in many ways, from my perspective, Synth V is like BIAB in that it is a program that allows me to get an audio file of a vocalist. I then take that audio to Reaper and shape it in exactly the same way the I shape the audio files I get from BIAB.

I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful right now but as I gain more experience, I'll see if I can solve this very interesting problem smile

Regards,
--Noel
