What it does
Vocal Harmonizer is AIR's harmony generator, sold on its own and as part of the AIR Vocal Suite. It builds up to four-part harmonies or a whole background section from one lead vocal, so you skip the timing and pitch problems of stacking separately sung takes; the developer pitches it as a way to "create full 4-part harmonies instantly".
- Four-part harmonies: up to four harmony parts generated from a single audio track.
- Intervals: set each part to an interval, for example a fifth below or a major or minor third above.
- Background sections: stack the voices into a full backing part rather than a single extra line.
- Per-voice EQ: shape the tone of each harmony so it sits behind the lead.
- Per-voice pan: spread the parts across the stereo field for a wider backing.
- Per-voice pitch: adjust the pitch of each voice independently.
KVR lists version 1.2.1.14. Neither page mentions a demo.

When to use it
Vocal Harmonizer is the simpler, set-and-go option: pick intervals for up to four voices, then balance them with EQ, pan and pitch. Compared with Waves Harmony, it has fewer voices and none of Harmony's MIDI-driven control, but there is less to learn for quick backing parts. Unlike Auto-Tune Pro 11 or Melodyne 5 editor, it does not correct the lead; it only adds new lines around it, so it pairs with them rather than replacing them. Against Little AlterBoy, which turns one voice into one changed voice, it is the better pick when you want several parts at once. For hand-placed, natural-sounding harmonies, editing copies in Melodyne or Revoice Pro 5 gives more control.
- Best for: quick backing harmonies on hooks, choruses and demos.
- Genres: pop, hip-hop, R&B and electronic.
- Look elsewhere if: you need MIDI-played or many-voice harmonies; Waves Harmony goes deeper, and Melodyne 5 editor is better for hand-built parts.
