Master Clean & Acoustic Guitar Parts: How to Use VocAlign Ultra for Perfect Results

Hey everyone,

My name is Steve Stine and I’m from Guitarism. I’m so glad you’re here with me today. I’m going to show you how to use Vocal Line Ultra, which is normally used for vocals, but I’m going to use it for guitars.

To get started, I needed to record some guitar parts that weren’t quite in sync. Now, I found that this doesn’t work very well if you’re playing really fast, shreddy stuff. But it works great for punchy, vocal-like stuff, and it’s great for clean and acoustic parts.

So, I created a song that had a clean section, an acoustic section, a rhythm section, and a harmonized solo thing over the top. I wanted to see how well Vocal Line Ultra would work for this.

So here’s what you saw on my screen: I had Easy Bass and Ez Drummer, which I added in. Now, I purposely recorded this so it wasn’t as tight as I normally would. Let’s listen to the beginning of this:

So, in your own studio, you can do multiple takes of something to make it tight, or you can do your normal editing like cutting and slipping. However, my point here was to show that Vocal Line Ultra can be used even if the recording isn’t perfect.

So, I hope this video helped show you how to use Vocal Line Ultra for your guitar parts. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments.

Thanks for watching!
