Kind: concept (effect-summary) Source: REAPER Effects Summary Guide v3.04

ReaVoice is a MIDI controlled multi-voice pitch shifter. You can use it in conjunction with a recorded vocal track to create pitch shift harmonies. In overview, this is how it works:

 Record the Vocal Track.  Insert a new track immediately below the Vocal Track.  Create a send from the Vocal Track to the new track. Initially at least, this should be Pre FX.  Insert ReaVoice into the FX Window of the new track.  Arm this track for recording. Select your MIDI keyboard as the Input Device and turn Input Monitoring on.  Mute all tracks except these two.  Play the song. As you do so, play the keyboard, experimenting until you find an appropriate range of notes.  Work out what you want to play, press W to return to the beginning, then Ctrl R to record. Stop recording when finished.  If you do not have a MIDI keyboard, you can either use REAPER’s Virtual keyboard, or you can enter the notes by hand using the MIDI Editor.  If you wish, you can record more than one take, selecting Play All Takes for the MIDI track items.
