With newly added support for VST, AU and AAX formats – alongside ARA and AudioSuite – Sync Vx is now compatible with virtually every major DAW, including long-awaited platforms like Ableton Live and FL Studio. In short: no ARA, no problem.
At its core, Sync Vx is designed to streamline one of the most time-consuming aspects of music production: vocal alignment. The plugin allows users to align both the timing and pitch of multiple vocal tracks, helping create more cohesive and polished vocal arrangements.
All of this happens within a single, intuitive interface, where users can set multiple reference tracks, fine-tune timing and pitch at a global or track level, and even experiment with creative touches like transposition and formant shaping.
The updated version sticks to that all-in-one, single-window workflow, while offering the power to align up to 16 tracks at once – making it far easier to organise and clean up even the most complex vocal stacks.
Beyond music production, Sync Vx also offers powerful applications for post-production, including ADR and dialogue alignment, providing a fast and precise solution for matching re-recorded audio to original performances.
The updated version is available now as a perpetual license, as part of the Waves Ultimate subscription, and within the Mercury bundle. Existing Sync Vx (V16) users can upgrade at no extra cost, while new users can purchase the plugin at just $49.99 for a limited time.
