I seem to remember that the harmony in RB 32 bit had an ability to 'loosen' the harmonies so that there was a slight difference in timing to the original vocal. That made it sound more like two singers. The current 64 bit harmonies are so 'tight' they sound like a thickened version of the original not separate voices. Before I start experimenting with chorus and double tracking does anyone have an easy solution to 'loosen' the harmonies?

TC Helicon was 32 bit I believe (that had the Randomize or Humanize setting).
I've not really played with the 64 bit. How did you go about it?

There's no humanise feature. I can pan the hrmonies to a different part of the stereo mix but that's all

Since you are an experienced user .. have you tried launching the 32 bit RB? See if the old features show up?
I sometimes switch to that when I need an old feature that isn't working in 64

You might try, if on separate tracks, offsetting one track a few milliseconds before the other harm track. A little trial and error with just how many ms to offset might work, instead of using the snap tool for exact timing at the start? Worth a try.

I keep both the 32-bit versions of RealBand and PowerTracks on my computer for situations just like this. I've got some 32-bit only plugins I like, so I can process in the 32-bit version, then bring the modified WAV into the 64-bit version.

Doesn't RB still come with 32 bit version? We no longer develop 32-bit versions of BB, RB, or PT, however we still include the last 32-bit version. In the case of RB that's the 2020 version. Much more pertinent - we no longer have the license to distribute the old TC Helicon harmonizer, which was last included in the 2017 version. None of the current downloads include that.

we no longer have the license to distribute the old TC Helicon harmonizer, which... I have the strong impression that TC Helicon have become much more protectionist about their technology. I was one of several people who were in a position to help Focusrite make Firewire drivers for Linux for the newer generation chips, but it seems like TC Helicon said "no" to allowing the OpenSource community access to their chips. Soon after that, Saffire faded away.
