![Best Plugins for Vocal Harmonies [Sound like Imogen Heap, Bon Iver, Francis & the Lights]](/img/1.gif)
Well, it's good to use it for live backing vocals. Really cool. Thanks, Dom
Thank you Dom, it's really cool!
Thanks Dom! Your work on this has been very helpful.
A Huge THANK YOU for this video. You tips are amazing !
Dom! Killing it 💯
Thanks Dom for the great video...
You Rock DOM Didn't realize you had such an Amazing singing voice
stupendous demonstration ... thanks a ton
I watched 10 reviews of this and your was the best! I liked how you focused on actually creating your harmonies using an actual keyboard and made tasteful, realistic examples. Most other reviewers focused on the automatic functions and made artificial-sounding abominations. I will use your link to buy it!
Thank you Ed! I appreciate it! I just showed what made sense to me- the automatic features are cool I guess but in real world I always find midi control the most useful!
It's INCREDIBLY hard to do it the way he does it here. Takes a huge amount of practice and talent. I'm not surprised few others can keep up. Really great demo!
Awesome demonstration! I'd love to see you do another vid showing cool tricks and things you've learned about Harmony after almost a year with it
Cool! More of a tool to discover than a replacement for sure. I could see it being fun to check out. 👍
You have such great talent! What a voice!
Excellent tutorial on such a new Waves plugin..well done.Using the harmoniser in Midi mode is my favourite!
Love your content buddy! Really helpful videos
Another fantastic tutorial. Thank you, Dom.
'If I could fly' - I love the chords progression. Let us now when the song's out there.
Sir you make the best videos --- your excitement is contagious
Thanks, so so good explained 🙂
Thank you soooo much. I had been trying to figure out how to use MIDI input and then spread the various voices over the sttereo field. Like you, I had no idea those were clickable buttons under the pan and level knobs. Knowing this saved the day for me and allowed me to use this plugin as I always wanted to!
Great video!
Great content
A great presentation once again Dom, loved it!
Reminds me of my Roland VP-7 vocal processor, but the Waves plugin has much more features. Really a cool tool and makes much fun!
Hey Dom, i use my Voicelive 2 (And i love it) but great job for this plug in, you're always so good (I love your studio) Thanks a lot for this great demo !
Great video
you are good!
You could call this an "inspiration generator" what a great plugin, well demonstrated.
Great stuff, thank you for the good work.
I've only dipped into the plugin so far. But I had the best time ever when I pitched up and just set a 1 3 5 7 and got to sing as an out-of-work old female torch singer.
It had a bunch of artificial artifacts, but there were a few phrases that rang out such a cool way kept me in the moment and I really ended up freestyling a song from this character's voice . . .
Nice! 😀
You are the best, now I'm going to get it.
It's the best!
Oh là là !
Nice singing !
FREDDIEEEE I love it 💪⭐💪
haha, lots of fun Dom! Freddie would be proud!
Really nice plugin
Wow, great
Freddy is crying in heaven.
He could do all this without technical support from Waves. ^^
Freddie did this as well on later records :) like I said, I don’t believe this substitutes proper vocal harmonies! Massive Queen fan here, the stuff they did in Queen I and Queen II were just masterpieces and evolved to be what most people are familiar with like Bohemian Rhapsody :)
Don, another way to assign envelopes and lfo’s’ is to drag the colored knob to the knob you want to modulate. Waves sampler plugin works this way as well. it’s very quick and intuitive. just a little detail you might like
A Scottish character from an old kids program I watched called super gran had a catch phrase and it came to mind as I was watching this “Is there nothin he canny do” 😁. I’ve watched and learned a lot from your videos over the last few years Dom and I had no Idea you could sing like that! I will get into this plug in especially as I discovered I already own it and by the way right now - 10 March 2023 - Waves has it on offer for $29.99 so if anyone wants it now’s the time. Awesome video as usual Dom, I also envy your skills on that keyboard, thanks man.
Wow!
FREAKING DOPE...GOOD JOB
FREDDIE MERCURY WOULD BE PROUD 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks
Thank you so much Peter, highly appreciate it ❤️
Now THAT's how you get a LIKE within 5 seconds.
♥️♥️♥️
That intro is worth more then a like my friend…
@@DomSigalas u should try Howard Benson vocal plugins
That intro was 🔥
❤️❤️❤️
EMI Copyright notice inbound lolol jk. Excellent video, Dom!
Hhhaha I hope not!
Thanks for the video! Can this do 80's style hard rock/meal "gang" vocals?
Great vid, as usual, Dom. This is pretty much like the Antares Harmony Engine. Any chance you will do a comparison video in future?
I will try to get my hands on the Antares one. :)
@@DomSigalas Thanks Dom. From what I can see, the Waves one appears to have far more parameters and flexibility though, but they both do real-time harmonies. Hope to see the vid soon if you decide to make one. Thanks again...
Great video Dom thanks! Love your enthusiasm and mad skills. Just got this plugin and it works great for my live show. One question -- have you found a way to sustain vocals? I want to sing a note, have it HOLD the harmonies.. then I might sing something else over top. Almost like a sustain pedal for the background harmonies. Tried doing this with two different Ableton devices with no luck. First one Ableton's "Looper" device but the transients were too glitchy. Second one I tried was assigning a foot trigger to Ableton's Reverb Device "Freeze" button with better results. But still not great. Do you know of another way to do this? Seems to me the plug-in could easily be modified to do this. Let me know if you have any suggestions. For stage use.
Thats Gangster love it. Dom the Cubase Boss !! when I load up Cubase 12. it has nice tutorials videos from the main man himself... Here quick question ? Any jobs going :) :)
Dom straight up sold the project in the first minute. Damn.
Waves dropped this in my inbox this morning....Dom Dadda, you're my bro and I love ya... however...after watching this...as a vocalist. I now know how jobbing drummers feel when you load Marco Minnemann in Groove Agent lol. Ironically Freddie's natural harmonies were so tight that they would be in phase at times such was his vocal mastery.
I would like to hear how this sounds when you put an instrument sound through it and break the plugin [In a good way]. Don't get me wrong Waves Harmony will sell truck loads alongside its OVox and Vocal Bender counterparts this will serve as an instant vocoder fix for me personally for starters.
Sounds great for Jingles/Adverts....Yes I'm gonna buy it on my OVox discount. Bless up Dom
there he is, the top audio producer
How does this compare to harmony engine? That's what I've been using for similar effects so far..
Wow, who would have thought that batman can sing so fine :)
Hi Dom, thanks for the great review of Waves Harmony ... that plus a trial of it vs Nectar 3 made me buy it! Quick question please from a fellow Cubase user ... what is your workflow for printing that harmony when you have the plug in as in insert in an FX track? I've been using it as an insert in the vocal track because I can Render In Place (like you said in another great vid ... I'm watching and listening 😊) Thanks!
i clicked for the cool VST but stayed to listen to this guy sing!
Congratulations, interesting video. Do you think there is a way to input an instrument channel, for example a guitar, instead of a midi track?
Hello hello, oh yeah, oh yeah... LUL lyrics of the month :D I'd have come up with a sung "mike check, one two one two..."
Great vid. Would love to see how you can use it to change the gender and age of a person's voice (both directions).
Great video Dom! Thanks for sharing. Do you know if you are able to output each line to record? I'm hoping that each line can be recorded and used as guides for vocalist to track harmonies.
Yes you can do it but you need to have a separate instance and midi channel for each plug-in instance :)
@@DomSigalas ah ok thank you. I will get a demo and see if I can suss it. Thanks again for your work!
Yeah, this is cool. Thanks for a great review! How does this compare to Waves Ozone?
I love your video on playing harmonies on real time using "Wavesharmony". How do I download it? Is it hard to use with Garage Band?
lol ... sooo good
The example at minute 13 is the most natural use of one of these tools I've seen
Question,,,can you set the pitch range of each vocal harmony while playing anywhere on the keyboard, like during live performance. Can i play a keyboard digital piano as I normally would for accompaniment and have preset which actual pitch range will output harmonies regardless of where I am on the keys. Example. playing high C will still only produce middle C.
I have learned each vocal part to Bohemian Rhapsody and wonder if this plug-in would let me create the exact same harmony as the original so I don't have to record and overdub each part individually. Thanks.
Does the voicing of the midi chords influence the voicing of the harmonies?
Take my money!!
excelente, que vst de piano usas , esta buenisimo
cool
Hi Dom. I love watching your video. I wanted to know if the waves harmonies can be produce is own harmonies to be printed out through Cubase. In other words can the midi notes be printed out or generate the harmonies so that I can teach the vocal parts to a band members? If so, would you please show how this can be done in another video or suggest another video that will explain what I’m hoping to find out? Thank you. Have a wonderful day.
Yes, all you need to do is record the midi (which you should anyway) and then open the score editor in Cubase. This way you can print out your midi parts :)
One question, how can I convert the harmony voices from Waves harmony into audio tracks on Cubase Elements 12. TKS
Dom where is the input on this plugin? Thank you
Hello Dom, Im your biggest fan, I have watched all your videos and love the way you explain things and more importantly you share you knowledge! Thank you on behalf of all producers. I use Cubase 12 pro. And I watched your video on how to connect keyboard to a PC in cubase. In the video cubase showed your exact keyboard picture when you were on the midi cintrol view. I have a Roland Fantom-8, I use presonus 1824c as my audio interface. I run both midi out to my Audio interface. How come my mindo control does not show my keyboard on the screen like it did in your video, in the video you said watch as I plud in the connection and cubase instally knows then boom your keyboard is now showing inside the daw with keys and all. Mine just says connected and shows 4 big ass black circles [ i guess these can be assigned to control expressions from keyboard or w/e, but How come mine doesnt show a keyboard in the midi control tab at the bottom where you can click on console in Cuabse. Please for the love of god can you help me figure out why I get a box with 4 circles which look like a black dial.
I want to see my keyboard like yours showed. What am I doing wrong. I will pay you for your time through your channel if you are able to respond. I'm spent and have spent hours trying to figure this out. Already put flash drive in the FA-8 to update it to connect with PC. In cubase 12 pro it says under " studio tab, midi device it shows connected.
Woow! Hai una voce davvero fantastica e oltretutto sei anche molto simpatico! Premetto che non sono un professionista e mi piace cantare per puro divertimento. Sono rimasto davvero sbalordito da questo armonizzatore di voci e mi piacerebbe tanto poterlo usare per aggiungere delle voci di controcanto che in realtà non sarei mai capace di riprodurre con la mia voce (ormai ho 66 anni e anche l'ugola si è invecchiata con il resto del mio corpo...Ahahahaha!) In special modo, mi piacerebbe aggiungere delle controvoci sui brani di Lucio Battisti (che amo molto) ma che in realtà sono troppo alte di tonalità per cantarle e aggiungerle successivamente sulle mie basi musicali. Cosa ne pensi? Questo plugin fa al caso mio? Grazie mille per la tua eventuale risposta e.......complimenti ancora per la tua gran bella voce e la tua simpatia! :) N.B. Ho volontariamente scelto di commentare in italiano per farti capire che ti seguiamo anche noi italiani! :)
That ‘If I could fly’ track is monster. Damn!!!! What a great vocalist. Totally jealous... wink 😉
I cannot get the live Output as a monitoring in Logic, only works for recorded audio. What could be the reason?
Great demo Dom. I’ll stick with my voicelive 2, and voicelive touch. Still the best hardware ever made. And mine is very quiet :). But kudos to Waves, I’m sure this will sell a motsa.
I still have mine too Tony! Out of curiosity: has yours developed this nasty sticky substance over what used to be the rubber part of the device? This is terrible on mine and puts me off using it :(
@@DomSigalas hi Dom, yes!! The solution was talcum powder and wipe it off! (Hand or dry cloth). Fixed both of mine. Houston Texas was very humid.
Car vinyl cleaner works as well to clean off the stickiness.
Hello, I am interested in the Waves Harmony plugin, I would like to know if I can use it alone with Cubase 12, I let you know that I have no plugins from waves installed in my pc.
Sincerely.
Weird hack for this plug-in and others like it:
If you get a big harmony that is getting overloaded with some of its frequencies, you can use a stem separation action on the vocal harmony track. You will get some extra stuff under the other or the guitar category, depending on how the stem separator is set up.
Now you can decide if those extra frequencies need to be omitted completely or if you want to EQ them or mess with them to have them blend better.
As somebody who records in a noisy spot, it helps to reduce the amount of low-level pickups that are getting expanded with the harmonies.
(I do what I can to eliminate them from the get-go of course, but you know.)
So your intro was on another level... Which brings me to my next question, how did Freddy or what exactly did he use in his time to make his voices doubled and perfectly in sync?
I guess a lot of work.
@@RomainRaynalComposer I feel he had to have used a harmonizer because even if you sing something close to the original one can notice differences in the voices. The octave jumps he sings are way to perfect and in sync for a male to be in sync. I'm not saying Freddy couldn't do it but if you listen to the vocals dry they're much too in sync and his vocal lines are much too even when sung separately in production you could tell one from another if they were independent. But in his songs that is not the case. He must've designed or used one of the first vocoders that weren't open to the public at the time.
Thank you! Freddie and Queen in general we’re masters at creating vocal harmonies. It was their trademark. Freddie was singing the harmonies so close to perfection that his voice would phase with each other. I am not going to call this “talent” because it undermines someone’s hard work. These people were perfectionists and while back then Queen were criticised by some for their extravagant use of studio techniques (compared to other, “raw” bands), they were real masters. No, they didn’t use any harmoniser (not until albums like The Works) it was all real recordings painstakingly stacked on top of each other. If you can get a hold of Bohemian Rhapsody’s multitrack you will be able to tell!
@@DomSigalas Thank you Dom so much for this intro master rendition and for your wonderful expertise feedback. My take on Queen pieces, aside from their perfectionist approaches, was the fact that I've always felt that having unified warmth and attack's sustains is almost unobtainable because one can tell of such anomalies during the analysis of the track. And yes the best way to approach it is to actually see all multi tracks in their independent nature to perform the complete dissection and see the piece for it's internal beauty. Thank you so much once again
@@Metalpazallteway Have seen other videos where people having access to the stems told how unreal Freddy was able to record almost perfect unison tracks, and that on regular tape. There is an american vocal group that for some years back won a content for vocal groups who had something of the same. You KNOW they record it normally, but their voices are so tight you automaticly think they gotta have used autotune cause noone can sing that perfect in tune, but they really just are that good. They made a stellar barbbershop version of Megan Trainer's "All about the Base"
Will this work for ableton live lite?
Hi Dom. I enjoyed this video very much. I wanted to know if this plug-in can be downloaded on to a flash drive and put on a iPad to use for live performances? I am 67 years old and I still perform in church settings and I am not super knowledgeable about all of the technology but, I do want this plug-in and I want to learn how to use it. I want to ask my son to download it for me but, I would like to know how to explain how I would like to use it to him and have him set it up for me. So if you could give me a small explanation on how I can use this plug-in live, I would appreciate the information very much. Thank you again for introducing wonderful technologies to us all. Again I wish you continued success with all of your music and your video. I also wish continued financial success as well. Have a wonderful day and week.
Hi Orrin! It can only be used on a desktop computer up to this point as far as I know. But even a portable MacBook Air or PC would work! It’s not iPad compatible yet.
Woah
how is it possible to not make the plugin follow all the notes you play on the piano? You have runs on the piano but the voices stay where they are... how to achieve this? thanks
Number 1 tip for beginners: Learn an instrument as soon as possible! Thank you Dom :)
Looks like you had a lot of fun doing this one! My only worry is that it will be used on every mediocre dance track in the next few months....
Aaah it’s been used already in the form of melodyne, Variaudio etc. it’s just this does it real-time :)
Think it’s a very interesting plug-in, since TC has practically ended their “Pro” version of Helicon voice live boxes in favor of some cheap guitar stomp boxes. As I see it practically does on the fly, what Digitech startet 30 years ago with the Vocalist, just in pure software. I still kinda want it “in a box” so I could easier drag it along on stage. Think it’s a big shame TC dont make the Helicon anymore.
I know, sad to see TC not producing these cool products anymore :( same with TC Electronic hardware
Yes. Too bad for TC helicon only targeting musicians. I have worked with harmonizers since the Digitech VHM5 circa 1991. The VHM5 was designed to create auto harmonies and the MIDI note-to-harmony feature was an afterthought of ivl.
There have been many ' MIDI home karaoke' attempts, failed because the library with vocal tracks was limited and sometimes the harmonies were only interesting.
Tune 1000 provided great MIDI karaoke with vocal backing accurate to the artist, but they missed some features.
I purchased the entire 1500 song library and modified to be friendly to any gender, age or skill.
I can do that with any MIDI backing track and planned on marketing a home karaoke to the masses, but the hardware is becoming extinct. The Roland VT4 is close, but it is not Helicon. I have hopes for this software.

Can you help me to understand if this app can run in realtime on a macbook?
Hi Dom, Mogens from Denmark here.
I have learned many great things from your videos, but i have a request:
WHEN you make videos can you PLEASE show all the nobs or how to do in Cubase.
Its so fast and i look at the video soo many times
I have spend so many hours to find out how!!
Maybe im stupid or slow...sorry...just a walkthrough..for us slow people.
Maybe refer to another video for sloooow people..haha
But i really love these videoes
thx so much for your good humor too
Hi Mogens ! in this video about after 9min I show exactly how it's done! I know exactly what you mean but people's attention span on RUclips is minimal and when I've shown something before I tend to do it fast the next times :) Hope this video helps! ruclips.net/video/U0QEKGIDDVE/видео.html
You can do this with iZotope Nectar 3 also. For some reason they hid it very well. But it works great, the pitch shifting is amazing.
Does it do midi too? I think it doesn’t but maybe they changed It
@@DomSigalas yes it does midi. You can add Nectar 3 as an instrument and the side chain it. You can then play the harmonies on your keyboard.
@@DomSigalas Just played with it around again. It seems 8 note polyphonic and you can place each note individually
@@DomSigalas I compared Nectar 3 to Waves Harmony (with each I used my keyboard to record a monophonic MIDI harmony line into Cubase while the lead vox was playing). I found that Nectar 3 couldn't generate vocal harmonies syllable by syllable as I recorded - it would make glitchy sounds. I'm not talking fast rap, just normal song singing. The Waves Harmony *was able to keep up. So I bought it!
One of the red LEDs in the background made it look like you were flicking your tongue up and down.
Hi Dom, what program are you using to run the keyboard to get that colour scheme?
I created my own using the Komplete Kontrol app!
@@DomSigalas Maybe another video there Dom. Great stuff, extremely professional and informative, fantastic content
Spent ages trying to get it sounding decent and just can't. Harmonies are all over the place, midi in doesn't work, tried with the explanation on this video and it doesn't work. I have a TC Helion Vocal Harmony pedal for live gigs and that works perfectly, acoustic or electric guitar in and it produces vocal harmonies from my voice based on whats platyed in from the guitar. Does anyone know if there is a plug in that does the exact same thing as my pedal?
Finally? MIDI Choir by MV's plugins allows it for years now ;)
Hmmm, yeah I meant do it *well* :) and preferably with VST3 and MacOS support. Nothing against MIDI Choir but this cannot be compared with what I’m showing here :) This is why I stuck with my hardware Voicelive 2 for so long. Now it’s on sale :)
@@DomSigalas Thank you for answering :) I'm not sure I can agree fully, because the sound quality of your demo wasn't any better than what I got from MIDI Choir. But I don't shy away from saying that there are way more comfort functions in waves harmony. And it has the better GUI. But I really only meant to joke about "finally", I wasn't very serious :)
@@sevenfifteen yes I got you of course! :) there was another plug-in that could kind of do this -I can’t remember the name but the sound wasn’t brilliant 🤩
can this do like jacob collier does in one of his videos where he sings and his voice comes out as the exact notes he is playing on the keyboard?
Batman 89. Nice
Nice video! for some reason you don't really sound that good through the SM7B... is it that it's a little bit more muddy than other mics? I feel like some EQing has been done and it makes the sound worse... I don't know
SM7B is a muddy boomy mic by default. I think everybody uses it to look cool. If you have a high pitched voice like Michael Jackson then it is great to add body, but otherwise it's total shite.
Can you recommend any apps like this for ipad? Thanks!
Don’t know anything like this up to this point but it might come in the future!
Hello and thank you for this great video! Too bad it doesn't work for logic! If someone knows how to do it with logic, thanks for the very precise tutorial please.
How to use it on reaper???
