The competition closed on December 31st 2018 and we are pleased to announce that the three winners of Revoice Pro 4 are:

He has worked with various choirs and vocalists through out the years, writing, arranging and winning multiple awards along the way. He also has written songs and produced for a Children’s television show, JJ & Friends. Cleon taught the Musical Ensemble course at Caribbean Nazarene College for 10 years and currently teaches voice at a musical academy. He also does advertisements for various companies including KFC, Digicel and many more. Cleon comments:

“My DAW of choice is Studio One 4 Pro and I regularly record 24 tracks and more of background vocals. Revoice Pro 4 is just what the doctor ordered. It’s tight ARA integration with Studio One 4 will bring a smile to my face and cut hours off of editing. I am sooooo happy THANK YOU!!!!!!!!”

Johan Sugarev

Johan comes from a classical music background, studying viola in the National Academy of Music in Sofia, Bulgaria, but wound up working for a small post facility which does the Bulgarian dubs for major motion pictures from Disney. Johan comments:

“As well as my day job, I also have a home studio, where Revoice Pro will go to good use. I record small string ensembles all by myself by layering takes with different instruments (I have several violins and violas) and different distances from the microphone. Revoice Pro will speed up my timing corrections immensely. I am extremely pleased to hear this. I am big fan of Pro Tools Expert and listen to all the podcasts.”

More About Revoice Pro

Since its launch in 2012, Revoice Pro has become the go-to software for timing and pitch adjustment for vocals, dialog and instruments, for audio engineers in both the music and post production industries. It can cut down on laborious editing tasks, but retains the natural sound and feel of the original recording, even while performing significant adjustments to the audio. The unique Audio Performance Transfer (APT) function can take the timing, pitch and level of one audio track and apply it to another (or several others), perfect for tightening up multi-layered vocal tracks, and for dialog replacement in film. It also offers comprehensive manual adjustment of timing, pitch and vibrato, a de-esser and a doubler.

Revoice Pro 4

The new features in Revoice Pro 4 include the Vibrato Warp function, which intelligently identifies the singer’s vibrato characteristics and retains them, even when time stretching or compressing their voice.

Audio Performance Transfer has been further refined, and users can choose between APT Music and Dialog modes depending on the task at hand, for even better results when aligning the pitch, time or level of one track to another.

There have been graphic and workflow improvements, such as user-definable key commands, and Revoice Pro 4 is now ARA 2 compatible, which means significantly improved integration with ARA 2-ready DAWs. Finally, Revoice Pro 4 users now have the choice to use iLok Cloud based licensing for authorization, removing the need for a physical iLok key.

What Do We Think Of The New Synchro Arts Revoice Pro 4?

Paul Drew took a look at using Revoice Pro 4 and the new ARA 2 function, in Studio One 4…

Paul’s Verdict

Revoice Pro 4 can take a bit of time to get your head around, but there is not another all in one package that can do what it does. The results that it can achieve are truly amazing, and in certain situations could be the make or break of a production, especially if the singers pitch and timing leave a lot to be desired. Revoice Pro 4’s pitch correction interface can be confusing but with a bit of practice can achieve excellent results. With the added ARA2 integration, Revoice Pro becomes a perfect companion for Studio One.

Is Revoice Pro 4 good for Post Production And ADR?

Post Production specialist Alan Sallabank was lucky enough to be a beta tester for Revoice Pro 4 and has already put it to good use. Revoice Pro 4 has already rescued me from an out of sync and out of tune nightmare on a major TV Drama series. I never expected it to work, but the results were utterly outstanding.
