Chapter 11: Harmony Enhancements
TC-Helicon Audio Harmonies are enhanced with Unison harmonies and a Choir feature. Now, when you’ve
recorded your singing voice, in addition to harmony voices, you can add unison voices that “fatten” your sound.
Each unison can have different vibrato and pitch characteristics. And each harmony voice can have up to 4 “choir”
voices, duplicated and shifted slightly in time, pitch and more to create an authentic, full choir sound! Create a 16
voice choir from your single vocal performance. Also, the GUI of the harmony feature has been enhanced.
There are 2 new features for the Audio Harmonies.
More Chordal presets, including unison harmonies.
Unison harmonies are available for the Chordal harmony (Chordal harmony is the harmony that doesn’t require a
MIDI melody, and just harmonizes according to the chords of the song). There are now 25 presets, compared to 9 in
the previous version.
For example, if you recording a vocal track, and then choose Chordal Harmony (i.e. “Harmonize to the Chords of
the Song”), you can then choose a new preset called “1 Unison, 2 Down, 1 Up.”
This will give you 4 harmonies, and one of them will be a unison harmony doubling your voice. You can assign
specific vibrato and other settings to the unison voice so that it sounds slightly different than your own, creating a
“fattening” effect to your voice.
Choir Effect
In the TC-Helicon Harmony dialog, you can select a choir effect, from
none/small/medium/large. A “large” choir effect makes each voice sound
like 4 people singing, so if you use a 4 voice harmony, you will hear the
effect as if 16 people are singing.
