TC-Helicon have announced that a plug-in version of
its realistic multi-voice doubling and detuning processor,
VoiceDoubler, will soon be
available for the PowerCore and Pro Tools|HD platforms. A direct port of TCHelicon’s
respected rackmount front of house effects processor, the plug-in’s algorithms
create up to four humanized overdubs in real time as well as classic doubling effects.
TC tell us that VoiceDoubler can recreate every conceivable doubling sound, including natural
overdubs and pristine emulations of classic detune, microshift and chorus effects. Using
humanization technology straight from TC-Helicon’s flagship processor, VoicePro,
"tight and intimate" or "loose and lively" multitracked overdubbed sounds can be
created live. VoiceDoubler for TDM and PowerCore features automatic latency
compensation, and the humanization of timing in the doubling voices makes for realistic
real-time overdubs.
Kevin Alexander, CEO of TC-Helicon, told us, " If you survey the music industry's
popular music charts you realize over half the music uses doubling, overdub and detune
effects on vocals. The process of creating these sounds is very time consuming. That's
why we created VoiceDoubler -- to allow a producer or engineer to create those sounds
in real time after the singer has left the studio."
VoiceDoubler PowerCore/TDM from TC-Helicon can be used for a wide range of
vocal work. Doubling a chorus hook, an important lyric, or any other song section can
now be done instantly without the tedium of matching performances and multitracking a
human singer. TC say that VoiceDoubler transcends mere detuned and delayed track copies by
manipulating time and pitch in your choice of fine or large increments so that everything
from a mono lead + double to huge stereo lead + four doubles sounds natural and
professional.

VoiceDoubler will ship in Spring 2007 and will retail at EUR 599 excl. VAT for
