How to make harmony voices less robotic

Hi

Some parameters that you can adjust that may help your harmony voices.
Adjust the humanization, Porto and smoothing of each voice, best not to make them the same values for each voice though.
These should make the voices sound more natural.
If you open the studio screen and then click on a voice tab, you will get to these parameters as well as there double parameters.

Also if you have already 'tuned' your vocals, make sure that you have vocal correction set to zero in the setup menu.

Note harmony voices that are generated will always sound a bit odd when heard on there own; but should sound much better when added and blended in the main mix.

I'm recording the first song using my new VLT (Don Henley's "Heart of the Matter"). My method: I recorded the source vocal (main bkg. vocal), then ran it through Melodyne to make it pitch-perfect. Then I fed this vocal into the VLT mic input, along with synced keyboard chords into the VLT guitar input.

I'm using the VLT "Close 1 Up, 1 Down" preset (tweaked with a little Chorus effect and no Doubled voices). The song has background vocal "oohs", and the VLT harmony voices sound great for that. Then the harmony voices "sing" the words "Forgiveness...Forgiveness". On these words, the harmony voices sound completely unnatural (artificial...definitely not human).

Is this the nature of the VLT harmonies or are there tweaks (or better presets) to get a more human sound to words produced by the harmony voices? I tried the same preset with and without the Chorus effect (more Chorus made the "oohs" sound better, but made the words sound more artificial), so I turned the Chorus effect off.

I think I may be missing something (making a "newbie" mistake) somewhere. Any help is greatly appreciated.
