Recording a barbershop quartet using Transpose Track

Hi,

I’m trying to do some vocal recordings by utilizing the Transpose Track, and need help:

I want to record myself singing in a few tracks (barbershop quartet). Some of the parts are very high in pitch and some are very low.
What I thought of doing was:
1. Record the parts I can sing without pitch shifting.
2. Add a transpose track and shift to a lower pitch, then record the higher part (transposed down) while listening to the other transposed parts I previously recorded.
3. Set the transpose track back up to 0 semitone shift.

The problem is, this doesn’t work!
As soon as I add the new recording, it doesn’t follow the transpose track (it is automatically set to “Independent”), and when I finally transpose up again (step 3 above) it remains unchanged.
It doesn’t matter if I afterwords set it to “Follow” or not, I can’t get it to match the other tracks by pitch.

Is there any solution for this?
Thanks!
