I just recorded three songs in which I used Audimee for a background vocal 'choir'. Pulling together a choir of real people would have been just way too difficult -- the logistics, scheduling, etc, etc. Also, some of the vocal parts were quite syncopated and complicated, so they would have required rehearsals. For one piece I recorded 12 separate tracks -- for example 3 tracks for sopranoes, 3 for altos, 3 tenors and 3 basses. I sang each take separately to introduce some variety -- and then I chose 2 to 3 different Audimee singers per section (3 different women, for example). For most of the soprano and alto parts, I transposed them up an octave and was pretty amazed at the results. Some 'singers' worked better than others. I used Audimee's tuning feature before converting. I was quite pleased with the results, but oh, it was tedious and time-consuming!! I recorded them in separate sections or phrases -- for example as Verse 2, Chorus 1, Chorus 2, Outro, etc, so you have to be organized! That's a lot of files to deal with. I used subfolders for each phrase. Then once Audimee converted them all, I pulled them into my DAW and adjusted levels. We ended up removing some of the breaths, as they built up and became quite prominant.
I'm personally very excited to try this. Band members have come and gone in my life, and there is only so much you can do when you have to use your own voice for the lead vocal, harmonies, and the backups in even demoing a recording for someone to learn their parts on. It turns into a conversation that makes a lot of even seasoned musicians, uncomfortable. The end of which doesn't get worked out. It's a shame that a lot of music doesn't get made because of that situation. This is a solution to that, and I welcome it. Thanks JC! Appreciate your hard work
Thanks for this. The randomization makes it so much more natural! One thing I’d love to see is the ability to change the amount of grit or “fry” over time. Like to take a clean note up to a scream.
That may have been true before, but not now. Things could sound too synthesized in stacks you’d make for yourself in the past, but now that they have automatic pitch and timing randomization, it feels really natural when you do stacks.

Glad it worked for you! Thanks for sharing this story.

Exactly what I’m thinking! You could be the perfect person for this. Let us know how it turns out.

Agreed, that would be cool!
I use Audimee, stacking starts to build up an audible digital hash but using 1 or 2 is ok

Can this replicate the voice you added? Like what if I want to create harmonies and have them sound like the original vocalist sang them?
Yes you can do that! You just have to create a voice model of the original vocalist, which is very easy to do with this.
@@SonicScoop Amazing. Thanks!
