One discovery I made was not to record too much silence before or after the audio files when capturing them. Vocals and audio synced together with the plug-in sounded very tight. Using VocALign Pro 4 couldn't be simpler. Next, the Edit button must be pressed to align the audio together. Once that's been done, solo the two audio files and press 'Capture Audio' to capture both files. The Guide track must be selected in the Side Chain in order for VocALign Pro 4 to recognize it as the guiding audio file. The track that has the proper timing is called the 'Guide' track and the track that will be synced to the 'Guide' is the 'Dub' track. Note that if you're syncing vocals, you'll need to be sure the vocals are tuned before syncing them, as VocALign Pro 4 does not change the audio's pitch. To use VocALign Pro 4, you'll need two tracks of audio to sync together these can be vocals, instruments or sound effects.
