VocALign® the automatic audio alignment software is now
compatible with Digital Performer® 3 (DP3) from Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU),
reports Synchro Arts Limited, the UK-based software developer. The VocALign
Application (part of VocALign Pro) now gives DP3 users access to the full
range of time-saving and powerful VocALign facilities. This latest move
considerably extends the potential audience for Synchro Arts'
ground-breaking products, which enjoy a global track record across music
chart hits, as well as film, TV and radio successes.
Jim Cooper, Director of Marketing at MOTU, commented: “VocALign is an
absolute 'Holy Grail' for DP3 users. Those using DP3 for music production
can now use VocALign in their DP3 virtual recording studio to align vocal
tracks, tighten the timing of instrument tracks and many other music-related
tasks that until now were simply not possible without VocALign. And for post
production professionals, a MOTU-based audio workstation, with DP3 as its
front end and VocALign running seamlessly alongside, now becomes even more
attractive as an affordable alternative to other costly workstations."
VocALign is tightly integrated with DP3. Users simply select the Guide and
Dub audio menu commands or keystrokes, directly in DP3's Audio menu, to
align and replace audio regions automatically in Digital Performer's
Sequence Editor window. VocALign runs concurrently with DP3, and processes
the audio in the background. Settings can be fine-tuned in VocALign before
returning the aligned audio back into Digital Performer. The functionality
on offer is extensive - enabling users to tighten lead or backing vocal
tracks, vocal or instrumental overdubs, and replace lip-sync dialogue
automatically.
VocALign provides automatic alignment and editing for
lip-syncing dialogue, foreign dialogue replacement, double-tracking lead
vocals, tightening-up vocal and instrumental backing tracks, matching the
timing of one sound effect to fit another, or modifying the timing of any
audio signal to match any other. Besides saving considerable amounts of
editing time, VocALign can also help reduce the amount of time that
performers need to spend in the recording studio. During a session, the use
of VocALign enables artists to concentrate on their performance rather than
the sync.
