Of course they have the free lite versions. I bought the pro and a database voice and I got Mia for free.


2) If you get a "starter set", do you get enough to do anything useful?

Yes. It's limited but it works.


3) Are the vocals stored similarly to RealTracks in snippets of analog audio files?

No. Not like real tracks


4) Are the individual words sung, recorded and stored, then used to assemble the vocals?

Phonomes, not words


5) If #4 is true is there any limitation on the number of different words each vocalist can sing in your song?

Unlimited.

6) Is there one male vocalist and one female vocalist that would be considered general purpose? (That cover of Desperado with Hayden sounded pretty good!)

I think Solaria is amazing. Hayden and Kevin are decent.

7) Are there limits on what key each singer can sing in?

It'll try to sing what you write. But it does have a range that's better for each voice

8) Can you use fx on the vocals such as the presets of izotope Nectar and do these cause artifacts or other issues?

Yes indeed.

9) Does the license you purchase allow you to distribute and sell your songs without any special licensing or royalties?

Yes. Some restrictions about the names. You're not supposed to give the singer a different name.

10) Do they typically do Black Friday sales? The current deal I am considering is Synthesizer V Studio Pro + Any Voice Database Bundle for $161

I don't know.
Thank you Herb! I appreciate your insights!
