I'm very excited about Waves Sync -- the UX feels great, it guides you through what you need to do and lets you process up to four separate tracks at once (unlike VocAlign Pro.) But it's not like Revoice because Revoice runs outside of your DAW...
I felt screwed over by SynchroArts. They shipped a buggy version of V5 and then required a paid upgrade to V6 in order to get the fix... Given the timing of how that played out, it felt intentional and one would be naive to suggest it wasn't.
Also, VocAlign was the one reason I still have iLok on my machine -- and iLok is such garbage I have unrecoverable licenses for other software due to a machine that crashed unrecoverably (ironically from a problem with iLok!!!)
iLok doesn't even display correctly on HiDPI monitors. I can't wait to get it off my machine...
However... I'm having a problem with Waves Sync Vx in that it won't work in Reaper. It hangs at 30%, it can't complete the sync operation. I spent an hour trying every possible bit of troubleshooting but no luck...
Can anyone else test it on Reaper and confirm a successful sync? It would be helpful to know if it's my machine or the software... Waves has good support so if it's the software I'm sure it'll be fixed quickly.
Anyhow, it's promising -- and awesome that it's included in Mercury.
