The Warp Region function, which is used when you wish to manipulate the pitch, time and level of notes/phrases in an audio clip manually, has also received some useful upgrades.
REVOICE PRO 4 REVIEW SOFTWARE
These include the provision of new APT algorithms specifically for musical material (the software has its origins in dialogue replacement for film and TV), and the ability to map the timing characteristics from a guide part (as before) but later pitch-correct the output from that APT process relative to a reference scale rather than the guide. There have also been improvements to the process Synchro Arts call Audio Performance Transfer, whereby RVP imposes the pitch, time and level of one part on to another.
REVOICE PRO 4 REVIEW UPDATE
Steinberg have also announced plans to implement it in an update of Cubase Pro 10 (and presumably in Nuendo too, at some point). At the time of writing, this includes Studio One, Logic Pro and Cakewalk, and it's already in beta for Reaper. Headline improvements include an ARA2 plug-in, which enables deeper integration with any DAW that supports that format. The version I evaluated for this review was v4.0.0.26, and I'll refer to it from hereon as 'RVP4'.
REVOICE PRO 4 REVIEW SERIES
Until now, the biggest leaps in Revoice Pro's evolution occurred during versions 3.0 to 3.3, and if you want to find out about how this software works more generally, check out Sam Inglis' review of Revoice Pro 3 ( and my series of Revoice Pro 3.2 workshops ( Revoice Pro 4 is the most significant update in ages, and I'll focus in this review on what's new.
While the asking price of Revoice Pro is not exactly trivial, it could earn its keep very quickly in a professional music-production or film/TV post-production setting, whereas serious hobbyists might find that it leaves them with less 'left-brain work' to do, and more time to focus on the music. Of course, there's nothing in Revoice Pro that can't be accomplished manually in any half-decent DAW, but doing so takes time and effort. Cakewalk has had a VocalSync function for a while, and a vocal time-alignment facility was added in Steinberg's Cubase Pro 10 however, although the latter is impressive for a bundled DAW feature, I've not typically managed to achieve the same quality of results using that as I've obtained using Revoice Pro. There are plenty of pitch- and time-correction processors, of course, but only a handful that can generate convincing fake double-tracked vocals, and even fewer programs that can impose the timing of one vocal part on to one or more others. Revoice Pro is one of those rare applications that's genuinely unique: no other software or hardware is capable of doing everything it can do. That said, it isn't a budget investment by any means, so do be sure to try the demo before hitting the Buy button.The latest version of Synchro Arts' Revoice Pro brings many new features, including improved algorithms and deeper DAW integration. If you record vocals (particularly multitracked versions) or regularly work with them on remixes, however, then this is an application that can open a lot of creative doors and save you huge amounts of time. And, of course, if you don't regularly work with vocals, then Revoice Pro isn't something you should even entertain the idea of buying. Sometimes the menu workflows also feel rather convoluted. The interface, although effective, is a little unfriendly and likely to split opinion. There isn't much we don't like about Revoice Pro. We tried this on a female vocal harmony group and it worked a treat, but it could also be useful for copying the tuning and timing of a male vocal to a higher female vocal. One of its most useful features is that it allows you to shift the matched track to exactly the same notes as the guide (potentially moving it up or down an octave or two), or to match the notes but leave the track in its original register. It's simply impossible to overstate how much easier Revoice Pro makes all this stuff than manually tweaking notes using something like Melodyne, particularly when working with multiple tracks. "One of its most useful features is that it allows you to shift the matched track to exactly the same notes as the guide" However, if you've squeezed the life out of the guide track beforehand, the APT-processed takes will be similarly clinical! The best thing since. Another benefit is that the unnatural precision you often get by meticulously tuning and tweaking vocals in other software is less obvious in Revoice Pro, as it doesn't try to tune the audio to an objective scale, but rather a real-world guide track.
