Thanks for the suggestion.
I haven't used Vocalign but I've been aware of it for a long while.
IIRC it was VST3 before VST3 was cool.
"VocALign PRO VST Plug-in requires Cubase (v4.5.2 or higher) or Nuendo (v4.3 or higher). (No other VST host is supported currently.)" I do not have a need for ADR and I don't have much interest in doubled vocals and or guitar parts.
I'd like to encourage more small post production houses to use ADR... but the advent of *television verite* has made a lot of things acceptable that might have seemed to require ADR in the past. :-)
It does seem like it could be used to fix the timing on the type of part I illustrated above by referencing the Melodyne render to the original file.
$600 for ADR use seems pretty reasonable. $600 to repair the timing that the $350 tuning tool slid around seems awfully expensive. It seems like the tuning tool companies ought to be able to figure this out... even if they have to build a second pass Voc-align process into the process.
