Studio One 4 Plugins Download

Melodyne is too tedious and I was looking for a user friendly plugin that will make harmonies from just the single vocal tracks I have on some of the choruses.
Any such animal and/or suggestions??
TIA
Jack

Hello Jack.
By 'tedious' I guess you mean 'time consuming'. Dependent on the level of sophistication and realism required for the harmonies to be generated from the lead track there are many ways you could go. I won't go into too much detail but here are a few methods I employ;
For simple harmonies, I copy the parts of the vocal track needing a harmony onto new track/s. Bounce in place and then transpose either in the inspector panel or via the right click menu I can also shift the track/s by a few milliseconds for a richer chorus effect.
For more control over more complex harmonies I use Izotope Nectar 2 whereby I can write a harmony midi track (or use an existing instrument midi track) and use this to generate the harmonies in the Nectar plugin 'Harmony' module.
There are also many plugins which have a harmony setting but results will often be unusable as the harmonies have fixed intervals and will only suit certain song structures - Nectar elements for example.
I recently bought Waves 'Soundshifter' plugin on promo and although I haven't had much of a chance to play with it, my initial findings are that it generates excellent sounding harmonies devoid of many of the artifacts found in other transposing fx.
With all of these harmony/transpose fx I'm careful to use in moderation and with small-ish intervals because the formant change can sound too synthetic but blended into the background of a mix it's surprising what I can get away with.
Lots out there to try and many available on demo - go for it.
Regards.

Thanks Steve. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. Just something simple to do 3rd and 5th harmonies would work.

Steve,
Not really understanding 1 completely. Can you do a step by step or provide a link?

Hello Jack - not at my computer at the moment as I'm overseas visiting family and getting my son back to university but I'll give it a shot from memory!
Analyse your lead vocal track and decide which parts you want to harmonise.
Split the track to individualise the parts for the harmony and 'Alt drag' to copy the events for harmonising onto new track/s (or copy the complete vocal track onto new tracks x number of harmonies you want and then delete unwanted sections).
Label your new track/s harmony one, two, three etc. and open up the 'Inspector' pane.
In the 'Inspector' pane you'll see towards the bottom a 'Transpose' box where you can adjust the track transposition in +/- semitone increments to create the harmony. Repeat for other harmony tracks using a different interval as required.
Additional enhancement can be obtained by offsetting the timing by a few microseconds say 10-20ms, differing for each harmony track. This can also be done in the inspector or by sending the harmony tracks to an fx bus and adding chorus for instance or other time/modulation/ panning/reverb fx.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Great memory and well done. Exactly what I needed. I will give it a go.
Thanks much, be safe, and I will pray for safe return.
Blessings,

Off topic but semi-related:
Steve's method also works well for minor vocal tuning if you'd rather not always load Melodyne when only a few notes are off pitch and Melodyne is overkill. Split, tune the word or phrase +/- 50 cents or whatever. (Same track obviously in that case)
Batman should do a video on that. I'll ask him.

Eventide's Quadravox is on sale for $49 if you want inexpensive and fast. I don't think it'll sound as good as Melodyne, but Eventide does fantastic pitch shifting.
