Chapter 11: Working With Audio

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 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.
Audio Harmonies Pitch Styles (automatic “Vibrato” and “Scooping”)
When you generate audio harmonies to your recorded vocal tracks, you can select Pitch Styles, which adds vibrato
and scooping effects to the vocal harmonies. Choose from many vibrato/pitch presets, including “Ballad,”
“Broadway,” “Pop Diva” and more!
When you launch the TC-Helicon Audio Harmony dialog, you can see that there is a new drop down combo list at
the bottom of each voice. You can choose a type of “pitch effect” (combination of vibrato and scooping) called a
Pitch Style to be applied to each harmony voice. In the example screenshot, we have chosen “Natural Vibrato,”
“Ballad,” “Broadway,” and “Crooner” – different vibrato types for each harmony voice.
The Pitch Styles are especially useful for harmonies generated from MIDI tracks, because these lack any vibrato.
Now by applying these pitch effects, you can get a natural sounding vibrato for these harmonies.
