Discover the secret behind incredibly tight vocal arrangements.

The process of aligning multiple backing vocals is simply a matter of keeping the lead vocal guide track intact and feeding each dub track for that section one by one. Vocals aren't the only thing it works on. Anything that's doubled and needs to be aligned is a candidate, such as guitars, strings and more. And it's also ripe for abuse too, aligning completely different audio signals with every possibility of happy accidents amid the chaos.
To sum up, VocALign may seem like an expensive one-trick pony, but what a trick it is! If you're a rap producer and crave punchy Dre doubles, or if you're big on vocal arrangements and want the power and focus of a tight vocal section, here's the perfect solution.

Extraordinarily tight alignment. A huge time saver. Much better results than manual editing.
It's a very specialist plug-in. Can be fiddly on complex arrangements.
