Dubler 2 For Singer-Songwriters
Temps de lecture: 3 minutes • 15th Jun 2022In this article, we’re going to look at how singer-songwriters can use Dubler 2 to easily produce and finish full songs!
Dubler 2 is software that allows you to perform any instrument with your voice. This includes drums, melodies, chords, basslines, effects and much more.
This is made possible via a process called Voice-to-MIDI. The way this works is that the notes you sing are converted to MIDI data.
This allows you to perform any instrument or sample in your music-making program/digital audio workstation (DAW).
Dubler 2 works with all DAW’s including Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase etc.
