Beware before buying. ### 2/5 — I don’t understand the point *2024-10-29* The sound is very over processed, it doesn’t seem you can use just auto tune function alone. ### 3/5 — Cool but crashes *2023-05-29, version 1.09* Cool but crashes in Logic Pro ### 3/5 — Pretty high latency on ipad pro 2018 *2023-03-18* Not usable as a live effect as it has a damn high latency ### 2/5 — Track lag in GarageBand *2021-03-21* This app is unusable in GarageBand. Why is it not compatible with GB but many of your other apps are. ### 1/5 — So disappointed *2021-03-05* It cause the vocals to lag so bad I was really hoping this would work I love how the auto tune works but it makes everything lag so bad 😕 please fix ### 2/5 — Causes track lag *2021-02-11* First off, I had no problems opening this plugin on both my iPhone 11 Pro Max or my iPad. The effects work as advertised. The problem I am having is that adding even the slightest amount of effect (whether auto tune, doubling or reverb) causes the entire vocal track to lag significantly. This is especially problematic because it causes my vocal tracks to lose sync with the remainder of my recording. I’ve tweaked every setting, tried keeping the effect levels low and used the app’s lower processing power setting, and nothing seems to help. It continues to cause lag. Very disappointing for what looked to be a promising plugin. **Developer response:** Can I ask which DAW you are using? This effect is to had hamonies to vocals, so you shouldn't have the MIX up full or use this as a pitch shifter. There are other options for pitch shifting. If using GarageBand then I might be able to explain the issue. Some GB instruments are very low sample rate (22KHz) which exagerates the 30-50ms processing delay. When running under Cubasis/AUM or similar app the sample rate will be 48KHz which reduces the latency dramatically. ### 1/5 — Problems *2020-07-06* I know you say you can use this in iOS GarageBand. It does not show under any name, soloist or harmonized fx. I have rebooted my iOS 13.5 iPad Pro twice and I do not see Harmonizer or Soloist fx anywhere either under effects or instruments or audio units. Please help. I don’t want to have to ask for my money back. If you can give me a step by step. It would be appreciated. **Developer response:** Please checkout the following explanation of how to load AUv3 plugins in GarageBand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2o-THwOnFY&t=1s If you still don't see the plugin appear try re-installing. It does work fine in GarageBand so long as you are running iOS11 or later. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-06-28* Purchased the bundle and rebooted iPad (2018 6th gen MR7K2B/A) GarageBand does not see the any of the three bundled apps in either AU or inter app list. How do I log a refund request? **Developer response:** Please see the following video explaining how to load AUv3 plugins in GarageBand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2o-THwOnFY&t=1s ### 2/5 — I can’t use it in Cubasis 3 *2020-05-19* I don’t know how to import the effect into my Cubasis-App, at least not via the InterApp-Feature. What am I missing ? **Developer response:** Please don't give poor reviews simply because you don't know how to load the plugin. In Cubasis you need to select a track, select Insert Effects, click where it says 'Tap to add Effect'. You will see a list popup from which you nee to pick 'Audio Units', then pick 'SoloistFX' from the list of plugins. ### 1/5 — Worst buy ever *2020-04-10* It doesn’t work on garage band It doesn’t appear on any plugins Don’t loos your money here I was expecting so much from this app **Developer response:** Seriously, your doing something wrong. Please check my YouTube channel 'Paul the MusicMan' to find out how to use this plugin and how to load it in GarageBand. It alway seems to be GarageBand users that struggle. Why is this? Read the reviews, other people see it working in GarageBand just fine. Try rebooting your device, this causes the plugins to re-register. On occasions this can happen with AUv3 plugins. ### 1/5 — Keine Ahnung *2020-04-05* Weiß absolut nicht was ich damit machen kann oder wo ich es integrieren kann. Keine Beschreibung, nichts. Geht zurück. ### 1/5 — Not showing in auv3 list *2020-01-11* Hello I am very surprised I purchased it it is not showing in auv3 list in my all host apps as cubasis 2&3 both Auria pro beat maker garageband Other auv3 of this developer are showing please fix it **Developer response:** This issue is sorted and you need to look for 'HarmonizerFX' or 'SoloistFX' when you are loading this effect. It should work fine in GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, NS2 etc. The confustion came about because we were forced to change the name of the plugin. Please check again and ammend your review accordingly. ### 4/5 — Pretty good! *2020-01-01* Only issues are that the wet/dry knob is labeled as wet/dry but is actually reverse (dry to the left, wet to the right or “dry/wet”) I didn’t think it was working at first. Also they misspelled Ionian as Iodian on the list of scales. Minor thing. Very smooth and usable! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Une catastrophe *2025-02-23* Une catastrophe les pistes vocals se déplacent, l’autotune ne marche pas a fuir ### 1/5 — leider zu hohe Latenz .. *2024-01-08* .. selbst auf einem M1 IPad … ### 1/5 — Not worthy for money *2023-12-14* Not worth for money you can use another plugin ### 1/5 — App works but not feasible for live *2023-10-27* It would be completely awesome if this could replace using a harmonizer box on stage…but the only place else I found unusable latency was with Bluetooth MIDI. Where it could work would be if you sang a very slow song…the features aren’t as good as a $200 tc-helicon box…but I could see a future where this kind of thing would be used ### 1/5 — Wont work *2023-07-22* It crashes on Logic Pro (iPad) not happy ### 1/5 — Another one that doesn’t work. *2023-05-24* If you’ve got the latest IOS this won’t work. ### 1/5 — Not working on IOS *2023-02-06* IPhone 11 updated to most recent version. Using garage band. i currently cannot use the plug-in. I have a EW plug-in from you guys (fantastic plug-in and enhancing my vocals sooooo much) so I know how to use AUv3’s. Both my delay and phasers are also AUv3’s. When I go to put on the plug-in, it isn’t there. I can see my “VisualEQConsole” plug-in but not this plug-in. I ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-07-20* I didn’t find this plugin very useful and unfortunately bought as a bundle with two other useless apps I never use (de-esser and exciter). Waves Tune Real Time is infinitely better vocal plugin. ### 1/5 — Too much latency *2022-06-19* Unusable because of latency, otherwise would be great but it’s not, I use a new iPad Pro optimized, tried adjusting the latency within my DAW (Quantiloop), tried lowering the setting in the app, nothing stops the huge latency, caused problems on my gig, developer pls address this issue. ### 1/5 — Promote non-existing feat… *2021-07-09* I saw a video that promotes the use of midi keyboard with the plugin……. That led me to buying the pack. Unfortunately it’s not possible and I would like a refund. Very disappointing!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A useful addition *2022-11-28, version 1.07* This app, as innovative as all 4Pockets products, allows for subtle or not so subtle alterations, and is best on lead vocals. It works fine with AUM, Cubasis and aPeMatrix. Enormous fun to use, and very versatile. ### 5/5 — Fit for purpose *2020-09-01* I’m a fan of the 4 Pockets range , for many sonic situations they are my go to apps. Some such as this app and the unique multitrack audio recorder , I find, are game changers and indispensable for my music production in the Auv3 environment. ### 5/5 — Excellent Change in sound *2020-05-09* Bought it and loved it. Still new to this music production so forgive me If the answer to this is obvious but I’m confused . When I go to add plug in , there are two soloist and harmonizer. But they both seem to be the same . What is the difference **Developer response:** There is actually no difference. We were forced to change the name of the app and to avoid confusing existing users I allowed it to be added using both options. After the name change people were struggling to find it in the list of plugins hence the two names. Sorry for the confusion. ### 5/5 — App Works, Even in GarageBand *2020-01-01* Love the app. Works great. To those saying it doesn’t work in GarageBand or Cubasis, you have to load it differently. Rather than the Usual Interapp audio or audio unit extension, it loads more like a native effect or EQ. So load a mic track, but don’t bother clicking the (in) symbol as you would with other interapp sources. Instead click the Effect slider button next to your track button at the top left. Then go down to Plug-ins and EQ. Click edit. You may have to remove another effect, but in the empty slot click the plus symbol, then you select audio unit extensions, then finally Harmonizer Fx will show up. Once its loaded, be sure to enable it, then simply double click to engage it. Enjoy. Thanks for the Excellent Vocal Processor! ### 5/5 — Schon genial ... *2019-11-27* Was man damit so alles anrichten kann. Die Qualität ist beeindruckend und das Ergebnis sehr professionell! ### 5/5 — 4 pockets does it again *2019-07-27* 4POCKETS = Awesome apps, simple No need to read reviews because 4POCKETS is just excellent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍 ### 5/5 — Sounds great! *2019-06-17* I have only had this for a short time, but I am blown away. It tracks beautifully. Another great app from a first rate developer. ### 5/5 — This will make you a singer! *2019-06-13* A fantastic effects suite: it’ll keep you in tune, give you some harmonies, add some reverb, and double up your singing to make you sound as great as is possible. Ps: sounds even better with the 4pockets DeEsser to block the noises made from S’s and T’s. Buy both!!! ### 4/5 — Need help *2022-09-10* How can i use this with cubasis please help ### 4/5 — Great app but need to fix the latency caused when applied as auv3 *2021-10-07* After it’s application the vocals became off time or else it’s a great app bought it with the bundle --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
