I was struggling with writing songs with vocals, so I went and grabbed Alter/Ego so I could use some synth voices to rough things out.
So far that has helped a ton. Since I have very little time when I'm alone and can just be loud, I can work on laying out the rough vocals silently on headphones.
Only problem is I find it pretty unstable. It crashes rather frequently.
@lwflouisa My DAW is FL Studio 11, and as far as instruments go I keep things simple. Sytrus for most synths, Guitar Rig for my distortion and crap, and then I piece things together from there.
I'm running a super crappy laptop so I favor lightweight vsts.
@lwflouisa So, tones outside of the standard A-G scale? If you're looking for options, Sytrus lets you specify the exact frequency of the tone you're generating. I'm not sure if Sytrus works outside of FL Studio though.
@bazkie Yeah, there's others that look and sound better, but Alter/Ego works for what I needed. No AI, fully offline, resource light (for crappy laptop), and most of all... free.
I am quickly liking this method. And after I'm done a part in my sequencer, I now have the MIDI track for the pitch correcting.
@Gwendolyn nice! I'm definitely going to give it a try, sounds like fun! (I have a mic but never really dare singing in my tracks lol.. maybe trying it out with a vst first might push me a bit)
