Choose the layer
Start from Manual, Double Tight, Choir Natural, Rap Stack, or ADR Loose so the timing, tamer, naturalness, and stereo-focus feel match the part.
Vocal stack alignment for macOS
Buffle Audio Align
Put Align on the Dub, feed the lead as the Guide, and make timing decisions you can trust. It reads the Guide/Dub relationship, suggests safe early or late moves, lets you A/B the changed material, and keeps consonant cleanup under control.
Standalone app, AU, and VST3 for macOS. Best for doubles, backing vocals, rap stacks, harmony layers, and ADR timing checks.

The product
A decision surface for vocal timing, not a black-box warp button.
Align is built for the moment where a stack sounds close but not locked. It makes the offset visible, explains whether the read is trustworthy, and gives you audition modes before you commit a nudge or tamer move.
Studio workflow
Route, listen, preview, then print only when the phrase earns it.
Read the phrase
Guide and Dub meters, signed offset, confidence, Trust reasons, and Phrase Health tell you when the material is ready and when routing or levels need attention.
Audition the move
Use Original, Aligned, All Diff, and Tamer modes to hear the dry take, the processed move, the full changed material, or only consonant material reduced by the tamer.
Keep the take alive
Naturalness Guardrail, Articulation Risk, Breath Preservation Mask v0, and Stack Spread Governor help avoid over-tight, over-clean, or collapsed stack decisions.
Current features
Everything on the page maps to a real Align control or readout.
The landing page now follows the shipped product surface: Guide/Dub monitoring, safe nudge, preview modes, stack roles, tamer behavior, phrase verdicts, and session handoff.
TimingSigned Guide/Dub offset, confidence-gated suggested correction, manual early/late nudge, and host latency compensation up to the nudge window.
AuditionOriginal, Aligned, All Diff, and Tamer modes reveal the dry Dub, the aligned result, total changed material, or consonant-only removed material.
Vocal cleanupConsonant Tamer Lite, Breath Preservation Mask v0, Naturalness Guardrail, and Articulation Risk support cleanup without flattening the vocal.
