    Vocal sync is the cakewalk feature for tightening up vocal parts where people are singing together. It's neat in concept. If you have a group of people singing the same part with 100% isolation (no mic bleed) it can be used to tighten up the set without doing tons of manual adjustments. Mic bleed can complicate it. It can still work out with bleed. Your ears will tell you.

    I have used it sometimes. It's a tool I don't use unless it's required. For the type of music I tend to work with, I rarely need vocal sync.

    We just went in another lockdown so no chance of any bleeds ;-) 
    Seems like the coming months we have to keep recording from home.
    That gives me the opportunity to learn how to get things to working for me.

  2. TLDR: Is there a way to automatically correct pitch and timing errors in recordings using a midi or audio track?

    Hi there,
    New to the forum so please forgive me if I placed it in the wrong category. 

    Long introduction:
    I used Sonar Cakewalk In the days of Windows 3.1 I had a copy and used it to write sheet music. I never used any other functionalities back then.

    Bought a new copy a year before it became a free product but hardly use it.
    Audacity gives me a quick and dirty solution.
    However I want to go beyond and started to use Cakewalk by Bandlab but when time is of a essence I fall back to Audacity. 

    I'm looking for a functionality that  might already be there and I don't know how to look for it or it doesn't exist at all.

    I conduct choirs.
    During Covid we are not allowed to practice.
    So I ask the choir members to sing and send the files to me.
    This works good enough for the rehearsals. 

    However I want to make audio files that are nice to listen to and not just for rehearsals.
    So one of the things I would like to do is make sure everyone sings the right notes, starts and ends on the same time.
    This is not the easiest tasks when you are not singing together even when we use a clicktrack.

    The question:
    Is there a way to automatically correct a recording; timing and pitch using either a midi file or another correct track?
    I know about Melodyne. But to be honest the quality of the recordings is already good enough that it is not worth the time to correct it that way. 
    However if there is a way to automatically correct it using another file (midi, audio or another type) it will be worth to invest that kind of time.

    Or should I ask:
    How can I easily correct multiple recordings easily; pitch and timing/duration corrections, in the least amount of time. I'm lazy you see 😀

    p.s.
    It's mostly corrections of the timing.
    Something that happens automatically when you are singing together and look at the conductor 😉.

    Kind regards,
    AJvdN
