9. Click on the Detune button on the left side
of the control panel. This adjusts the pitch
of the harmony voice slightly above or
below the exact note it is creating, to
create a more natural sound. You can leave
these set to zero for now.
10. Click on the Volume button on the left side
of the control panel. This adjusts the
relative level of each voice, in decibels
(dB). You can leave these set to –3.
11. Click on the Pan button on the left side of
the control panel. This allows you to pan
the harmony voice to one side or the other.
Click on the slider for voice 1 and move it
to the left to pan the Baritone voice to the
left side. Click on the slider for voice 2 and
move it to the right to pan the Mezzo voice
to the right side.
12. Click on the Styles button on the left side
of the control panel. This provides a
number of different options to add more
realism and personality to the harmony
voices. Feel free to experiment with these
later. For now, you can leave them all at
their default settings.
13. Click on the Key/Scale button on the left
side of the control panel. This defines the
key (e.g., key of C, key of G, etc.) and the
scale (e.g., major, minor, diminished 7th,
etc.) of the song. If you know the key the
lead vocal is in, go ahead and select it.
Otherwise, leave it set in the key of C.
14. Click on the Reverb button in the lower-
right corner of the control panel. The
Reverb controls appear at the bottom of
the control panel. Set all of the controls to
their 12 o’clock positions by clicking and
dragging up on them. Set the HARMONY
FX SEND control fully clockwise (0 dB).
