FakeTake vs MelodyHarmonizer

FakeTake Double Tracker Plugin (AUv3) FakeTake is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic or GarageBand. Overview FakeTake is a tribute to the old "automatic double tracker" studio trick. The idea is that ADT creates the illusion of the same part, overdubbed again (a "fake take") which can work great with many instruments, especially guitar and vocals. There are various approaches for achieving this effect, but most use a short delay, a bit of stereo processing and possibly some modulation applied to the delay. FakeTake uses all three! Parameters Active - Toggles the effect On or Off. Delay - Sets the base delay time of the "fake take". Low settings can be thought of as "tighter", and higher values, "looser", going up to almost a slap-back echo effect. Drift - Varies the amount of delay time modulation. This is applied to the original and processed signal. At zero, no modulation is applied to the dry signal. Spread - Varies the stereo width of the ADT effect. At maximum, the original and delayed signals are panned hard-left and hard-right respectively. At zero, both are dead-centre. Spread can also be used to create space in a mix. For example, apply spread to a guitar track to leave room for vocals in the middle. If the name sounds familiar, FakeTake is an improved and simplified version of the FAKE TAKE ADT module developed for Voltage Modular by Waverley Instruments. Please do take a look at my other AudioUnits on the App Store if you can spare the time. Supporting paid apps allows me to release free ones as a little thankyou from time to time.

Are you interested in tonal harmony? Do you want to test your melody with harmony? MelodyHarmonizer is built for musicians, composers, and improvisers looking for new harmonic ideas. With MelodyHarmonizer, you can generate a wide variety of unique harmonizations for any melodic line you provide. Whether your input melody is tonal, chromatic, free-tonal, or even twelve-tone (dodecaphonic), the app explores what kinds of harmonic progressions can be applied to it. A Tool for Harmonic Exploration: MelodyHarmonizer is intentionally not based on standard probabilities. This means it does not necessarily produce a fully polished or the most commonly heard harmonization. Instead of forced, conventional coherence, it opens up unexpected harmonic paths and challenges your musical routine. Key Features: • Control the strength of suggested modulations. • Exclude unwanted chords from the harmonization rules. • Adjust the playback tempo of the harmonized melody. • Fine-tune relative note durations without affecting the underlying harmony. Discover tonal harmony in new contexts and expand your musical creativity with MelodyHarmonizer!
