Melodyne Studio 5 vs Revoice Pro 4

[gcasper]

As a long-time Melodyne user, I'm really liking the ability to work with multiple tracks in the studio window. But I can't find any information on syncing multiple vocal backing tracks, for example, at the same time. I know Revoice can do it, and I think Vocalign can as well, but I'm never used either. Just seen their promos. So my question is, can I use Melodyne to sync up a group of backing vocal tracks, or do I have to do them individually? And if that's the case, is Revoice worth the price just for that feature, or does it have other capabilities beyond Melodyne that makes it worth having both.

Thanks in advance!

Melodyne studio as plugin can do many tracks in one plugin-window.
Ie 10 tracks each with Mel-studio plugin.
Only need one plugin window open. You'll see and control all tracks from there.
Transfer-in all at once, offline!
BTW mel studio could already convert audio to midi but its more convenient and seamless in 20.11

Just upgraded from "Studio 4" to "Studio 5" for $129. at Audio Deluxe.

Yes, I use that functionality regularly. But more specifically, my question was is there a way in Melodyne to select say 4 different backing vocal tracks and align them all with a single command or movement? Kind of like using groups in Pro Tools itself.

“...4 different backing vocal tracks and align them all with a single command or movement?"

yes. just highlight the plugin-tracks blobs inside 1 of the plugins. you’ll see all track instances in one plugin.

Also note when in / focused the plugin, select all etc. shortcut commands work.
...select all choose tool double click on a blob and all jump to pitch, time, formant...

Awesome! Thank you! I've done that with pitch, but wasn't aware I could do it with time. I'll have to look into how to do that. I know the double click works for pitch, but haven't used the double click for time alignment. Will check it out.

Are you saying I can double click to tune multiple tracks at the same time?

No, but you can work several tracks within a single plugin window, and switching between is simple(the grey blobs are a reference and the orange blobs are what you can edit). Using the lead vocal blobs in grey as your timing reference, use the timing tool to alter timing on the orange blobs so they match the reference(as tight or loose as you like). In all cases, I would always use Melodyne in the first insert slot, and I would Commit Up to This Plugin to render the Melodyne work. As for timing, yes, Vocalign and ReVoice Pro can do it with less effort from you(theoretically) but I'm not sure it will be better in any way.

Alternately, you could tune with Melodyne, commit and then use X-Form EA to line things up
