GuideAlign: Sync clips in Pro Tools to a guide or reference track with sample accuracy, non-destructively, and without creating new files

**NEW IN VERSION 2: **SMS or iMessage notifications, available in the revamped settings page!

GuideAlign uses Sound Radix's Auto-Align Post® plugin (V2.0.3+) in Pro Tools to quickly shift assembled audio files into sample accurate sync with a picture guide track or other reference track, non-destructively and without creating new files.

If you're enjoying GuideAlign and have suggestions for future versions, let me know at dustin@sounddogs.ca, I'd love to hear from you!
