do all harmonizer plug-ins suck?
I am looking for a plugin for Sonar that will give great sounding backup
vocals/harmonizing.....but everything seems to suck based on the samples I've heard....everything I hear sounds so fake. Is there anything good that I might be missing, or do they all suck? |

t... I am looking for a plugin for Sonar that will give great sounding backup vocals/harmonizing.....but everything seems to suck based on the samples I've heard....everything I hear sounds so fake. Is there anything good that I might be missing, or do they all suck? I happen to know that the song "Big World" recorded by my friend Lance Martin had absolutely all of the BVs done soley with V-Vocal which is built into Sonar Producer. There were no BVs sung at all. To me it sounds pretty good. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=408992 So, you might already have the harmonizer you're looking for.

When I have to create harmonies from a lead vocal (shhh! don't tell anyone), I use Celemony Melodyne. It was worth the $$$ and it does a whole lot more than just harmonies, but beware... you have to create them yourself, you at least have to know what you're doing musically. You can't just pick a key and an interval and turn it on. |

I could build a song around that!" |

It sounds like it's face because it IS fake. What's wrong with recording some more background parts? A "harmonizer" tool is handy for making a quick demo or filling out an otherwise good recording. It's not a substitute for more real tracks. Never was, never will be. |

Sometimes that can be a useful tool, as in "Pilot of the Airwaves." But if you want it to sound like a real backup group, you need a real backup group, and you need to mike them like a backup group (ie. more distant miking than you would use for a lead vocal). --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
