What does RysUpAlign align?
Doubles, backing vocals, harmonies and vocal stacks against a guide. In Capture mode, put RysUpAlign on each participating vocal and capture the played range together. Choose the primary guide in the workspace, or assign another guide to a track or clip. Timing and pitch each have a separate 0 to 100 percent amount.
How does it get audio from my DAW?
Capture records the range that plays through each participating insert and places the tracks on a shared DAW timeline. The same plugin uses ARA when the host actually binds it, and Capture otherwise. ARA support is host and version specific; a format being available does not guarantee ARA in every DAW.
Why does Logic show Capture instead of ARA on Apple Silicon?
Logic does not always bind the ARA extension, and Apple documents Rosetta requirements for third-party ARA on Apple Silicon. Do not assume ARA from the AU format alone. Use Capture in native Logic: arm it from the lead instance, play the exact range once with input monitoring off, then stop and align.
Does Capture record the whole track automatically?
No. Capture records only while the DAW transport is playing. Play the exact verse, hook or full-song range you want to align. The interface shows each connected track and how much signal it captured before Align becomes available.
Can it preserve harmonies and consonants?
Yes. Preserve Harmonies keeps changing intervals instead of dragging every backing vocal onto the lead melody. Protect Consonants reduces edits around sharp vocal attacks, and protected spans let you mark any phrase that should stay untouched.
What are the advanced controls?
Vibrato can follow guide movement, Level can match the guide envelope, Transpose shifts pitch by up to 24 semitones in either direction, and Formant shifts vocal character by up to 12 semitones. Set them for all vocals, one track or a selected clip; they start neutral.
Can I edit just one phrase without changing the whole stack?
Yes. Select clip and drag a range on its vocal lane, then choose This clip for independent controls and guide assignment. This track applies overrides across that vocal. All vocals changes the global settings. Inherit removes local overrides so the selection follows its parent settings again.
How does the RysUpPitch guide link work?
In RysUpPitch 1.1.0 or later, enable Link guide to Align in Export. In RysUpAlign, choose Link Pitch guide and select that published vocal. The link uses the actual locally rendered edited audio, not just a note display. New published edits refresh the guide and require alignment again. Both plugins must be installed on the same computer; no audio is uploaded.
Does it replace my DAW regions?
No. Capture mode plays the accepted alignment through each track insert without changing the source regions. Use Bounce in Place or your DAW's print workflow when you want permanent replacement regions.
Which formats and systems does it run on?
RysUpAlign 2.0.1 ships universal AU, VST3 and AAX for macOS 11 or later, plus 64-bit VST3 and AAX for Windows. RysUpHub 1.0.78 or later handles installation, activation and updates. Host-specific ARA availability is separate from plugin-format support.
Is it included in the Suite?
Yes. An active Suite subscription and the $249 perpetual Suite both include RysUpAlign, along with every paid plugin released while your access is active.
