In a novel approach to demonstrating how much time a person can save using VocALign Project, Synchro Arts decided to hire the services of a top Pro Tools editor Michael Costa to see how fast he could be against an algorithm. His time was impressive, manually time aligning a 25 second segment of vocal double with the lead vocal in around 8 minutes.
However, Synchro Arts are giving any audio engineer the chance to beat the 8 minute time and see how close they can get to the VocALign time, less than 3 minutes. This is what they say on their web site;
“Do you think you could manually align the vocals faster than Michael? Great - then take the VocALign Project Challenge! Simply download the vocals below, get editing in your DAW of choice and then send us a screen capture of your workflow. If you can beat 7 mins 52 secs, we'll publish your video on this page!”
