As of Revoice Pro 5, the Link plugin has a Mode menu item. The Mode allows the user to both Capture audio and apply a Process immediately within Revoice, and helps to make standard workflows more efficient. Here, we will discuss how to use the Mode menu feature, and then discuss creating a process in Revoice after using Capture Only.
Capture and Process Modes
In the Revoice Pro Link plugin window, click the Mode dropdown menu and select Capture & Match Timing / Pitch / Level.
The Revoice Pro Link plugin window will change to give you some new options.
- Preset will allow us to choose any of our presets to apply to this new process.
- Select Guide and Select Dub will allow us to capture our audio regions into Revoice Pro.
First, select your Guide audio region in Studio One, in this case Lead Vocal GUIDE, and then click Capture Guide in the Revoice Pro Link plugin window.
Repeat the same process but select the DUB region, here Double Vocal DUB, in your DAW and click Capture Dub, just below Capture Guide.
Now in your Revoice project window, you can see the process that has been created as shown below. You can listen back in Revoice or in your DAW to hear the Matched audio.
Applying a Process in Revoice Pro
If you have used the Capture only Mode, as done in the previous topic, you can continue with the following instructions to apply a process within Revoice
In this example we are going to use a Match (see Match Process for more details) to align the Dub signal Double Vocal DUB to the Guide signal Lead Vocal GUIDE.
First, in Revoice Pro select the Guide signal (Lead Vocal GUIDE) in the first audio track by clicking the waveform area. The audio waveform will turn light grey to indicate it is selected.
Next, right click in the Process Control track and select Match Timing / Pitch / Level. This will open the New Process Window.
Below we can see the New Process window that opens upon selecting Match Timing / Pitch / Level.
Revoice has made a few automatic choices for us, and for standard use these defaults will typically work well.
- Our Initial Input Start & End is set to Selected Audio, meaning that his process will apply to all audio within the selected region.
- Revoice has also selected Lead Vocal GUIDE as our Guide track, and Double Vocal DUB as our Dub track. We can use the 'Add >>' and '<< Remove' buttons to change this if needed.
- Our output is set to Automatic. With this setting, Revoice will create a new track for our output aligned audio.
Click the 'New Process' button or press the N key to add the Match...
..., which generates the following output on track Double Vocal DUB [OUT].To audition the quality of the aligned output in Revoice Pro, press the key E and press the space bar.
The ARA interface will automatically map the output of the Match process for the Dub signals back to the corresponding audio items in Studio One.
In Studio One you can listen to the quality of alignment by listening to the Guide and Dub tracks together.
If you need to create a permanent version of the aligned signals, use Studio One's 'Bounce Selection' option by right-clicking the audio region in Studio One and going to the 'Event' sub-menu, then selecting 'Bounce Selection'
