Hello all,
Hope this makes sense and some have some recommendations: I've been using Hollywood backup singers quite a lot. Like anything, the more you do it, the better you get at it. MOST of the issues with getting a well articulated vocal part turned out to be a note length/time in the plugin. In other words, I was working on a ballad at tempo 78. At tempo 78, a quarter note would be roughly 760 milliseconds of duration. When I go into word builder and select that word that is supposed to last for that length of time, it often was completely wrong in duration. that same note in word builder might be a total time of 1.53 seconds or something way too short (380 mS). When you fix the lengths to conform with the MIDI note lengths, this app really shines.. is there anyway to educate this plugin to "look ahead" for each note length and put that into wordbuilder?
To basically get around this, I wrote a program that asks for the song tempo. From that it gives me the time lengths of multiple note types: half, quarter, dotted quarter, eight, etc.. then force notebuilder to have the correct duration for every note. Time consuming but the only way I see to get good results..
