One thing I like about using each tool for one purpose it that it keeps me focused.

I'll find a core style in BiaB, and work out a basic arrangement.

Then I'll export a backing track into SynthV and work out the melody.

Then it'll all go to the DAW to create a final mix.

I'll occasionally bounce back between BiaB and SynthV is the arrangement needs to be updated, or if I need to change the key. That's not a big deal.

I'll often go between the DAW and SynthV if I decide that the melody, words or harmonies need to be changed. That actually continues even after I post the song. It helps that when I render the vocals out in SynthV and toggle back to the DAW, it automatically loads the new files. So there's not really any loss in efficiency.

I could learn to use the BiaB plugin, since it seems useful. But because I'm running SynthV in stand-alone mode, it's useful for it not to be integrated into the DAW.

But whatever works for people! smile

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