About This Beta
Version 2.2.0 focuses on providing users with easy-to-use tools for creating complex and nuanced vocal arrangements, including harmonies, doubling, and layered vocal textures.
Since the previous two beta versions, we have worked on improving the stability and incorporated a few user-requested features. Notable changes include:
Improved MusicXML support
The MusicXML import dialog now includes an option to remove all the punctuations from the lyrics, maintaining pronunciation consistency when a dictionary is applied.
We have also improved the handling of octave changes and tied notes.
Split Unison into Tracks
A new command is added to the right-click menu of a track that takes apart a track containing doubled voices and creates a number of new tracks with smaller sized (or solo) groups. It automatically sets the gain and singer positioning for the new tracks to maintain the volume and texture.
Global Control for Consonant Strength
Noticing that choral vocals often feature less pronounced consonants, we have added a slider to Voice Panel that modules the strength of all unvoiced consonants in the group.
In addition, an optional low shelf section is added to the EQ, which can be helpful for cleaning up plosive sounds.
Terminology Change
We have changed the naming for “Voice Doubling” into “Unison”, reflecting the underlying mechanism powered by (internal) AI retakes, as opposed to an audio effect applied during post-processing.
