Vocal Soloist AUv3 Plugin 4+

Causes track lag

First off, I had no problems opening this plugin on both my iPhone 11 Pro Max or my iPad. The effects work as advertised. The problem I am having is that adding even the slightest amount of effect (whether auto tune, doubling or reverb) causes the entire vocal track to lag significantly. This is especially problematic because it causes my vocal tracks to lose sync with the remainder of my recording. I’ve tweaked every setting, tried keeping the effect levels low and used the app’s lower processing power setting, and nothing seems to help. It continues to cause lag. Very disappointing for what looked to be a promising plugin.

Developer Response ,

Can I ask which DAW you are using? This effect is to had hamonies to vocals, so you shouldn't have the MIX up full or use this as a pitch shifter. There are other options for pitch shifting. If using GarageBand then I might be able to explain the issue. Some GB instruments are very low sample rate (22KHz) which exagerates the 30-50ms processing delay. When running under Cubasis/AUM or similar app the sample rate will be 48KHz which reduces the latency dramatically.

Pretty good!

Only issues are that the wet/dry knob is labeled as wet/dry but is actually reverse (dry to the left, wet to the right or “dry/wet”) I didn’t think it was working at first. Also they misspelled Ionian as Iodian on the list of scales. Minor thing. Very smooth and usable!

App Works, Even in GarageBand

Love the app. Works great.
To those saying it doesn’t work in GarageBand or Cubasis, you have to load it differently. Rather than the Usual Interapp audio or audio unit extension, it loads more like a native effect or EQ.

So load a mic track, but don’t bother clicking the (in) symbol as you would with other interapp sources. Instead click the Effect slider button next to your track button at the top left. Then go down to Plug-ins and EQ. Click edit. You may have to remove another effect, but in the empty slot click the plus symbol, then you select audio unit extensions, then finally Harmonizer Fx will show up. Once its loaded, be sure to enable it, then simply double click to engage it.

Enjoy. Thanks for the Excellent Vocal Processor!
