I've been reading an article in EM magazine about creating vocal harmonies using a plug-in called Celemony Melodyne. Is anyone familiar with this?
Can vocal harmonies be created using any of the tools in Sonar such as V-Vocal? With all the pitch shifting and pitch stretching tools available within the program it seems to be a possibility.
Comments?
Thanks,
S~

| Yes Melodyne is awesome! I use it all the time. If you get it, get the melodyne plug in. You can do it with v-vocal but i've never tried. |

Ditto firefox. I love the plugin and IMO it not only works the best, it's the easiest to use.

Hey all,
Thanks for the input.
I just loaded my new Melodyne program in Sonar 6.
I opened an existing project, highlighted a vocal track and went up to "insert" on the toolbar. From there I chose "softsynths". The Melodyne plugin is nowhere to be found. It should be listed under "VST plugins". I checked the "Plugin Manager" and it's listed there so I clicked on the "add" button to put it under the VST plugin catagory. I saved it. Closed the program and restarted it again.... No Melodyne to be found under VST Plugins in the insert softsynth menu.
What didn't I do?
Thanks for your time and patience.

| I believe you have to run the vst scan to add a new plugin. This will or should add melodyne to your list of VST plugins. |
Love to make that music,as well I love to tweak,Make my own sample sets |

Larry,
Yes, I ran the scan. The Melodyne shows up under "VST plugins" in the plugin manager dialogue box but not in the "insert" menu when working with a project. For example: I have the NI B4II plugin. When I want to insert the Hammond patches from that I just hit the "insert" button from the top of the toolbar; choose VST plugins and there it is. Then I can use it in the current project. I haven't figured out why the Melodyne doesn't reside there with the B4 and consequently cannot insert it into a vocal track.

| If it's showing up in your menu it should be there. It might be in your instruments menu instead of effects menu in your channel inserts. Did you check that? |

Oh... BTW Scott,
I've been reading your suggestions in SP6 on how to use the plugin manager and customize your plugins into catagories as a quick and very intuitive way of keeping things organized. Great help. I've usually skipped over the "customize" sections of your books in the past to get to the "meat" of things. I Never knew how a little bit of organization can make things go a lot smoother in Sonar and my sessions are a lot more time efficient with your customization suggestions. I've just started to make up my own templates for just about everything I do.
What a time saver! Think I'll read those sections again.
Thanks again.

| Did you find it? I kinda thought the effects bin would be the first place to look obviously. |

Firefox,
Yeah... found it. I was treating it as a softsynth instead of an effect which it is. The "B4" was listed in the VST plugin menu with the softsynths but of course, it is used as a softsynth so that threw me off.
Thanks for your help.
