• Protected signal blocks:- user can mark sections of the Replacement (Dub) signal to not be time-compressed or expanded during alignment.
• Comprehensive audio preview options:- allows listening from VocALign to sections or the whole signal (s) before and after alignment, individually or together. (In Pro Tools version).
• Ability to re-use an alignment path:- on another Dub signal. (Can be used for multi-track microphone recordings - e.g. simultaneous close and distant mikes) (In Pro Tools version).
• New improved TimeMod (time compression/expansion): - optimised for single- pitch signals but maintaining the option to use an alternative TimeMod algorithm for more complex signals.
• Longer maximum signal length:- Now up to 5 minutes (previously 2 minutes).

Benefits

Editors in film, TV and video post production, music and multimedia, now have more control over any required audio alignment editing. They will be able to target the alignment of the replacement signal (Dub) to the Guide where it is required, by using the new Sync Points feature and can keep sections of the Dub from being edited by specifying Protected areas.

These features will be invaluable for certain types of noisy or reverberant Guide signals and especially useful for foreign dialogue replacement.In addition, the new Preview Controls allow much more detailed examination of parts or all of the two signals, together or separately, both before or after alignment to confirm the quality of editing and alignment.

The other features such as improved overall quality of automatic alignment and micro-editing will save the user even more time and frustration.
