Match Process

The Match process is one of the major unique features of Revoice Pro. It aims to transfer performance characteristics of one audio signal onto one or more other signals. It works in four basic steps.

1. The Match process first determines the timing relationship between key features of a Guide and a Target (Dub) audio signal using improved Synchro Arts' VocALign® technology
2. Next, the process measures performance-related features (such as timing, pitch, vibrato and level) of both the Guide (which usually has certain preferred performance characteristics) and the Target.
3. User-selected Guide performance features are transferred to the Target audio to create a new Modified Target signal with the selected Guide features.
4. The transfer process usually includes the timing alignment, so Guide's features are incorporated at precisely the correct places along the Target. However, this is an option.

Features

• SmartPitch allows the user to work with Dub signals that are a combination of both unison and harmony parts. Users have the option to:
  • Match All To Guide - Align all pitch to match the guide (current behaviour)
  • Match Unison Only - Align all pitches to match the guide when the pitches are close together and ignore anything else. This will match unison sections but not process any harmony notes.
  • Match Unison & Tune Non-Unison - Align all pitch to match the guide when the pitches are close together and apply 100% tuning to anything else.

• The "tightness" of the transferred feature can be controlled to allow natural acceptable differences to pass through unchanged.
• Optional user-inserted "Protected Regions" allow selected sections of the Target signal to be left unchanged.
• "Process-based" monitor switching, via single keys, provides instant comparison of inputs and outputs one or two signals at a time.
• The effects of any changes made to Match control panel parameters will be immediately visible (after rendering) in the displayed output graphics of pitch, level and waveform traces.
• The automatic Match processing can be followed by (or replaced by) manual editing of the output features.
• Match Pitch processing settings can be made time-varying.
• Multiple Dub signals can use the same Guide and be efficiently processed at the same time.
• SmartAlign improves alignment when silent gaps exist in long clips, only aligning where necessary.
• Manual sync point can be used to set specific times where sync should align.
