V-Vocal Clips
Mixing
especially vocals, V-Vocal does pitch correction on notes and phrases,
edits formants, adds vibrato if you want, and can also correct timing.
Access V-Vocal by selecting audio data, and then inserting an instance of
V-Vocal. This creates a monophonic V-Vocal clip, which means that the
selected audio data is copied to create the V-Vocal clip, while the original
audio data is muted and left unchanged.
The following procedures explain how to manage V-Vocal clips. For
information about using V-Vocal, see Using V-Vocal.
To Create a V-Vocal Clip
1. Select the audio data you want to use.
2. Use the Edit-Create V-Vocal Region command, or right-click the clip
and choose V-Vocal-Create V-Vocal Clip from the Clips pane popup
menu.
SONAR copies the selected audio data, inserts an instance of V-Vocal on
the copied data, and displays the new V-Vocal clip (the copied audio data
that contains an instance of V-Vocal) where the selected audio data was,
and opens the V-Vocal interface. The V-Vocal icon appears on
the V-Vocal clip. The original audio data is muted. No track data is moved or
otherwise modified by creating a V-Vocal clip. You can drag the V-Vocal clip
away from the original audio data if you want.
To Open a V-Vocal Interface
• If the V-Vocal interface of the clip you want to edit is not open, right-click
the V-Vocal clip and choose V-Vocal-V-Vocal Editor from the Clips
pane popup menu. You can also double-click the V-Vocal clip, or create
your own key binding to launch V-Vocal.
To Move, Edit, or Copy a V-Vocal Clip
• Use standard editing commands (nudge, drag-and-drop, slip-edit, etc.)
to move, edit, or copy the clip. When you move a V-Vocal clip, the
original audio clip is revealed underneath it. You can unmute the
original clip by using the Mute tool. You can also or create your own key
binding to launch the V-Vocal editor.
Note: offline processing commands such as Process-Normalize and
Process-Gain do not work on a V-Vocal clip.
To Bypass or Unbypass a Single V-Vocal Clip
• Right-click the V-Vocal clip and choose V-Vocal-Bypass/Unbypass
from the Clips pane popup menu.
