one job, done clearly
Line up the stack while keeping the performance alive.
Put Align on the dub or backing vocal, route the lead as the Guide when your host supports it, and read a signed offset with confidence instead of guessing whether the double is early or late.
studio flow
A studio workflow for doubles, harmonies, rap stacks, and ADR.
Trust the read
The Trust Meter names what Align hears: missing Guide, quiet lanes, unstable timing, locked timing, or a safe early/late Dub correction.
A/B the change
Original, Aligned, All Diff, and Tamer modes split the full timing change from consonant-only cleanup so the preview does not hide what changed.
Keep it human
Naturalness Guardrail flags risky cleanup, while Consonant Tamer Lite softens unmatched Dub attacks without flattening the vowel body.
inside the plugin
A transparent alignment tool, not a black-box warper.
Align focuses on the decisions producers actually make during vocal comp and stack cleanup: listen, trust the read, nudge carefully, tame clutter, and print only when the move still feels musical.
