OP FrankieP Newbie F Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 7 NY	Hello all, Just a quick question... did the audio harmonizer algorhithm changed over the years? I assume it did as I used to get very good and decent results in my previous BIAB version (version 2014). I seem to remember it was licensed from TC Helicon?

As a result of your post, I've just had a play around with the harmonizer's tutorial file called "Listen.MGU" (to refresh my memory). This file is found under \bb\Documentation\Tutorials\Tutorial - Audio Harmonies and it includes vocal audio. Everything worked fine for me. One thing I noticed, though, is that the audio volumes are extremely loud, I had to decrease the original audio and the two generated tracks to 35 (orig. audio) and 30 (generated harmony). Also... Because the vocals of this file are male, the pitch is actually one octave lower than the melody notation. This means that since melody sits around middle C, the vocal is in the region one octave lower than middle C. If harmony is generated lower/beneath this melody, it will sound very muddy. It would be like playing chords on a bass guitar. For this reason, when I generated the harmony, I chose two voices to sound above the melody. I also tried the the transcription functions and they worked okay, too. These transcriptions could be saved in MIDI format and then imported into Synth V. In Synth V, the octave could also be adjusted appropriately for female voices. Here is the wav file of the harmonization I created. "Listen" - wav file I hope this helps. --Noel MY SONGS...
