Making Harmonies following chord changes

[Aint Right]

In Studio One 7 I am trying to create harmonies that follow chord changes. I am curious is there a way to do a rough note change using transpose that will roughly follow chord changes then clean it up with Melodyne Esential?
Will transpose work on specific selections of an audio track?

You can manually split events and transpose them individually, yes.

But you can also use the Chord Track, enter your chords and set the audio track to Follow Chords = Parallel or Narrow.

One method that that I have used with great results for creating Oohs or ahh’s is to play chords using a Pad Patch to emulate the harmony.
I split the chords into individual melody tracks then I sing each part using the synth as a guide vocal. This will be 3 or 4 parts.
I then use Melodyne to the max for pitch correction as well as timing and aptitude.

I found creating the Gide vocal track helped save time and avoids singing duplicate or totally wrong notes.
The sound quality is much better than when I used Melodyne to transpose into parts. To me it sounds phoney that way.
I was better off actually singing the parts even though some notes were a bit out of my range.This is the best use of Melodyne for me. I don’t do that to my lead vocals.

You can possibly use this idea and if you don’t have the musical abilities to play the chords yourself, then use one of the many midi chord generators that are available.

Example is you take your lead vocals track and convert it into midi. Work from there.

Can I take the chords I detected in my rythym guitar track and some how drop them on my vocal track then go from there??

Where do you manually write in chords?
