Hi Christopher, it may be accessible, but it may not be what you're looking for. It is an emulation of an old machine with all its vintage artefacts, and certainly not a device to create something that sounds like natural vocal harmonies.

I don't use ProTools, but Eventide products are usually accessible via the automation view in the other DAWs I use.

Cheers,

JPR

Aa, ok, so it's not for vocal harmoney. Yeah, that's definitely what I wanted, as I cannot figure out Antares Harmoney EVO to save my life! I've tried and tried and tried and tried, and no matter what settings I pick, it sounds absolutely terrible! It isn't me not knowing how the plugin works, as I do. And I know how to set the intervals etc, but even doing that, it doesn't work at all as expected.


I know it can be done, as I've heard others use it successfully, but how they're doing it is way beyond me.


I thought TC Helicon made a plugin based on one of their harmoney pedals, but I've yet been able to find it, and even if I did, I'm told that it isn't very accessible, not even with VOCR.


Chris.

If you want authentic sounding harmonies, Harmony engine is still my favorite. Izotope’s Nectar gives good results but I haven’t tried nectar 3 yet for accessibility. Other notable mentions are Izotope’s Vocal synth and QuadraVox or Octo Vox from Eventide, however those aren’t as realistic sounding.

Load harmony engine as a stereo instance on a track and use the Volume and pan controls for each voice for best results.

Well, nothing will sound as good as recording your own harmonies one by one, and maybe retuning them a little bit if you need to. All these plug-ins sounds awfully robotic in my opinion, and this is due to a lack of randomness I guess. Remember that all they do is change the pitch of already existing material, so the smallest inflections or vibratos will be mimicked on each Harmony,thus all lines will be exact parallels, which is never the case in real life.

If you really want to use them, You may be able to humanise the result by adding a small delay on each voice, but not the same length for each of course.

But I tell you, try singing Each line and maybe give them a little pitch correction if you need and you will be much much happier.

Hi Jean-philippe,

Agreed! :)
I have the H3000 hardware unit in my rack, and its  fantastic for thickening vocals & its renowned reverb algorithms but nothing surpasses the real thing!

While I won’t disagree that singin the harmonies will always get you the best results, I think Harmony Engine can be quite convincing in a mix. It does provide plenty of options for altering timing and pitch both globally an per voice in addition to formant control as well. Yes, the inflection will be transferred to all voices but there is still plenty to work with to get great results in a pinch. Also with it’s Midi  in capabilities you can really customize the harmonies. It’s also a useful tool for working out Harmonies before tracking them yourself.
