Wow, just discovered VariAudio 2.0 in Cubase 5
http://www.musictech.net/2013/05/cub...vocal-editing/ Nothing new to all you full-time pros, but for me, this is an incredibly powerful tool! Didn't know it was sitting right in front of me. All the big-time singers get digital help, so why not the local singers. Just blows my mind. No wonder Neal Schon doesn't trust Protools audition tapes anymore. He had one too many in-person auditions that sucked compared to the demo CD! At least auto-tune appears to be more limited in a live vocal situation, but man, if it's in digital form, ANYONE can sound good these days... |

I'm wondering, can you apply this, and other voice auto-tuners, to things like trombones, and violins, etc, where the intonation can often be off? |

With a lot of instruments it will make some weird artifacts but if you do it on only a single note here and there on a cleanly isolated track it can work out. I find it's almost always easier to cut and paste a note from another part of the piece, though. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I've used melodyne to fix egregious notes on upright and electric basses (in singer songwriter things and rock, never jazz I promise!) and recently I even changed a note I didn't like in an otherwise terrific accordion performance. If you're very sparing with it and the track is well isolated it can work just fine. But don't get carried away- if you fall into the "auto tune cave"- that is the slippery slope microscope world of tuning, you'll waste a lot of time and just ruin your tracks. Better to get them right on the way in. |

Better to get them right on the way in. Oh, it's got to be heavily abused, it's so powerful! Yeah, changing the notes is incredible too. I fixed one too-heavy-vibrato note in an otherwise good vocal performance, and it's almost too perfect now! Better to keep some of the human element in there.... It's really like Photoshop for audio, isn't it? HA! |

This may be hard to believe, but intonation is information. It might be worth keeping. Different instruments have different intonation regimes. The human voice has a lot of them. So there's this hobbyist singer I know who uses a "vocal processor". I filled in on six string last weekend for him. The alleged "vocal processor" was throwing enough "feedback" to shut down the mains feed on the Presonus mixer in use. The effect is something like ru(in)ning the vocals through a blender. He wasn't listening about having it turned off. So he booked it, so... -- Les Cargill |
