DP Pitch Correction

[gavspen]

As good as it is, is there any way to automate it, in the style of Autotune...so to speak...so that it will deal with an entire vocal track that is, shall we say, "pitchy", rather than having to go in and tune the vocal phrase by phrase? If there is, cant figure it out.

Thanks

Not that I know of. That would be nice. You can quantize pitch for regions or the entire file, and that will snap all notes to their nearest pitch. That will most likely require lots of deleting what you did to make it sound natural, though.

These posts probably should be moved to the DP Mac Forum, however since pitch segments can be copied to MIDI tracks, I thought that the inverse might be true. Just tried it and can't get it to work. Is there a way?

Assign the MIDI track to a simple VI and freeze that track. Go to the pitch layer of the resulting audio track and copy the pitch data from there.

Great idea! Thanks.

What?

Is this somehow a fix for the question I originally asked? If so, could someone explain it in words of one syllable which might be understandable by a luddite?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for getting off topic. I was answering a related question and the conversation took a turn.

+1 on what joelmusic said. You'll need to fine tune the pitch segmentation before quantizing. I would suggest doing one phrase at a time rather than the whole track. Even so, I don't think trying to automate pitch correction is the way to go (especially with a vocal track). Because there is so much pitch inflection in a vocal performance, snapping to some grid often makes it sound more "pitchy" than the original performance. For a good job, you really need to rely on your ears and adjust individual notes as needed. JMHO.

Sorry, my first reading was *pitch infection*. I loved that...

[Phil O]

With some vocalists it IS like an infection.

Well.. Hum, keep your distance!

Haha.....

Well it takes a little time but I must say DP pitch correction is really good. You probably already know this. Even something as seemingly drastic as "Quantize pitch" is very useful for stuff that is only slightly out...selecting and shifting whole phrases, likewise, and moving around those little segments works like a charm to fix pitch and leave all those little "infections" in place. I've really never futzed with it before.

Autotune pretty well mangled things, but then maybe I just dont know how to work it.

If I need to do more then a couple of tweaks on a vocal track I change the vocalist

But what if the vocalist is the one writing the check?!!

Yeah, Buzz. You got that right.
