Use Reaper's ReaVoice Effect To Create Vocal Harmonies

[LinkLinky]

I like the way you care to show every little thing you do and your friendly way of talking. Subbed.

Change the Algorithm of the Pitch Shift Mode for a more natural effect ;)
(Soloist is the best for voices)

To minimize the chipmunks or robotic effect you could use automation envelope to change the formant of different sections. Believe me, it's very effective.

You have literally been my savior for the past two hours as I've been working on a new project. Thank you. Thank you so much you majestic audio man.

well look at that! already learned something new from your channel. i had no idea this came with reaper. just opened it up now, works great, thank you!

This is resurrection of an old video I know - also I have no idea if this was true back then, but at least these days you have reapitch, which has that formant shift feature you need to avoid 'chipmunks' and 'monsters' lol. You don't have the neat ability to set the harmony note with a midi signal, but you can always control the FX parameters with midi CCs. I don't see how this is more work than what you went through here. Anyone reading this in 2022 who wants to do harmonies with reapitch, try this; however many semitones you modify the pitch with reapitch, move the formant slider the same number of semitones in the opposite direction. You will get the most natural sounding harmony this way because effectively you are transposing the vocal how a real singer would - the formant frequencies remain the same across the vocal range.

If you know a C chord on the piano, the intervals translate to ReaVoice (the piano G will be the 5th of whatever the audio file is, the piano E will be the third relative to the audio file, etc.). This made it seem way more complicated than it really is, but still a good lesson, as I now know how to use a new plugin... thank you!

Great teacher. Clear and concise and bothers to highlight the items suggested, and uses arrows etc. Thanks for the extra effort you put into your videos. Helps so much

[vigilant]

Good one, thanks for this tip. I played with the formant options and you can perserve these from the original track to get a natural, less chipmunky pitched sound.

[williama]

I had to repeat this video tutorial 3 times because i was laughing to much with the sound of the discordant harmonies, well done, great clear concise lesson with humor. thank you

[howtodostuff]

I just want to say, please come back to doing Reaper tutorials, your approach, character, sense of humor, the tone of your voice and your attention to detail is absolutely the best I've seen and heard.

[credenza]

Thanks so much for this. I would never have understood the plugin otherwise.

[Hannah-rlng]

I really appreciate how you teach by Circo and enlarge the item you are talking about. Much much easy to follow. Thank you . So appreciate it almost want to kiss your feet... 😁 thank you

About the chipmunk quality, it has to be said that it depends on the default pitch shift algorithm, that is a trade off between quality and CPU load. *Much* better results can be obtained simply by switching the ReaVoice algorithm to an Elastique Audio one (which is embedded in REAPER, no need to install nor buy additional stuff)...

[gordonzrs]

This is one of the best tutorial for new user (reaper) really clear n useful explaination i've seen.. Im using Adobe Audition but this make me feel like i might work with both adobe n reaper

[ThenUp]

Excellent video! though not a harmony person your clear concise and perfect diction makes this video worthy of an Oscar. ♫♪♫♪

[vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

Thank you so much, you are a very good and kind teacher, God bless you and please maintain this warm and affectionate way of imparting knowledge at a pace common folk can follow, a big up to you 🙏👍🤘❤

[avigyavegashunyata]

fantastic. just figured out how to do multiple fm sounds. reaper is nuts

[skrie]

THANK YOU... I had my harmony plugin on the channel with the WaveForm all the time and tried to sent the midi in... The whole of the Cockos forum couldn't tell me what I did wrong. The harmony plugin had to be in the midi channel all the time :)

Pro tip: make a hotkey for insert new midi item
