VocalSync Question
I can't really tell from the videos, but will this also work with stereo tracks?
Regards,
Dan

That would probably get a little messy considering it is trying to tighten one waveform to another but the way you could do it (which admittedly would be more work) is split the stereo tracks and do it one side at a time then combine them back into a stereo track.

Well, I'm thinking it would be really useful to align sloppy bass or guitar, but oh well, I'll just do it by hand when I need to.

And if there is it was by design.

I don't know but would assume you can use it for any mono source referencing another mono track for ex: harmony guitars, since it appears to be only time-slipping the track you created a region-effect on. I doubt it can time-align the two sides of a stereo track unless they were split to mono first. But that's just my guess.

hmm... wouldn't the source waves for those be mono or are you recording a stereo pair into a stereo track? That brings up another question... are you doubling your bass tracks? From what I understand that leads to unecessary mud and cloning/delay is a better option. For guitar though for sure and I thought the same thing for doubled guit tracks. Unless you are planning on tightening up say a bass track to a guitar track... in which case I don't think this tool is really designed for that. More for two similar takes of a similar instrument playing a similar part... like doubled vocals/harmonies and stuff like that. Still though I'm not sure what you are attempting to do so I'm pretty much just rambling. :-p

I've been wondering the same thing, but I'm thinking using the drums as the source to help with the sloppy bass. Drums are stereo, bass is mono. I was thinking of cloning the drum track and making it mono.

What Clint said...
The guitar tracks could be stereo because they are recorded from a stereo rack FX unit. I'd really like to be able to time-align any two tracks, stereo or mono.

Dan

Okay... that makes sense. I really don't know whether it would do stereo track alignment but again, since it seems to be aligning one waveform to another I can only assume it would be able to do one mono wave to another (and still be accurate). So again I'd say just split the stereo tracks and do it once for each side.
However if you are using a stereo based effect that may cause the waveform's transients to be REALLY different that may cause a problem.
Also considering how compressed a lot of guitar signals can be I'm not sure it would even work for things like distorted guits... because if all you've got is two flat, compressed chunks what's it gonna align things too?
For more dynamic clean tone I'm sure it would be alright but really without getting my hands on it I don't know. In the vid they said to try it on stuff other than Vox but that the results may vary so I'm assuming they've tried that kind of thing and it was unpredictable. Otherwise I'm sure it would have been promoted as more than a vocal tool.
Anyway, that's a long way to say... IDK. Lol... sorry.

Who is the developer of Vocalsync? I can't seem to find any info on it. Is it Cakewalk engineered?

I would guess, we would have better luck with a bass than guitar. I'm hopeful that the new audiosnap might be useful too. I've never used it for anything.

Thanks scook, but it still doesn't reference whether stereo tracks will work. Guess I will find out when I upgrade.
