| Is there a program or something to tell me what note the vocals are in. Or an easier way to sync the vocals to chords, or do I just have to do it by sound? (trial and error) |

If you listen to our podcast of Ralph Buckley, they talk about software that does that vocal correction. I forget what it is called, but you can find the podcast at:

If that's not what you're talking about, I know that there is also plenty of software that translates vocal melodies into midi notes.
Any help out there? |

I'd say check out a vocoder. It takes 2 instruments and synchs up their textures and notes. So, you can feed your voice into one port and some keyboard/synth through another. Then your voice will synch up perfectly, though it'll sound like a robot a bit.
I just learned how to use mine (which is a piece of Reason 3.0), and I'm really liking it. I'm sure the next 700,000 songs I write will make use of it.

I'm not sure what you're asking exactly....... Do you mean "what key your vocals are in?" If that is the question, it is pretty much trial and error. You can learn some music theory that will give you an educated guess at it, but mostly it is a sound thing.
If you actually mean what "note", Get a chromatic tuner. That will tell you what note. I actually use both (tuner/theory) To decide what "key" a song is in. Sometimes major, sometimes minor, Sometimes I go with modal ideas, but that is all up to the song writer.
Sometimes I stumble accross other ideas while screwing around with things like that. (my own little secret....... I use my mistakes to write more songs........ Don't tell anyone OKAY? )
