Using V-Vocal (Producer and Studio only)
Mixing
• The red line is the original Pitch curve and this line cannot be edited.
• The green dot is a Node. Nodes are automatically assigned to the start and end of the edited
region. You can select the specific region between the nodes if you click the yellow line between
the nodes.
• The white horizontal line is called Center Pitch. Center Pitch is used as a baseline for increasing
or decreasing vibrato or for pitch correction.
To change the pitch of a selected region
1. Use the Arrow tool to select the part of the yellow line that you want to transpose (make sure that
the Pitch button in the Edit Mode section is enabled).
The selected region turns blue to show that it is selected.
2. Drag the yellow line up or down.
Nodes appear automatically when you shift pitch.
Tips:
• CTRL-dragging snaps the pitch to the pitch correction grid. SHIFT dragging moves the pitch by
100 cent increments.
• You can also edit pitch by dragging a node up or down.
• You can undo each edit you do by pressing CTRL+Z. You can use this command repeatedly to
undo multiple edits.
About pitch correction
The key for making manipulated sound more natural is using the parameters in the Pitch
Correction section: Note, Vibrato and Sense. Functions for each parameter are as follows:
• Note. Controls the ratio of pitch shifting to the nearest scale note. With a value of 100, each
section is completely shifting to the nearest scale note.
• Vibrato. As the value increases, the vibrato depth gets narrower. At a value of 100, Vibrato is
completely eliminated.
• Sense. As the value increases, the range of affecting pitch correction gets wider.
If you set all of above parameters to a value of 100, you will get a “robot voice”-type sound.
Current default values are:
• Note: 100
• Vibrato: 50
• Sense: 100
This setup is a bit too artificial. If you want to make the sound more natural, we suggest the following
setup:
• Note: 70-100; be careful of intonation.
• Vibrato: 0-20; try 0, if you'd like to keep the original.
• Sense: 20-30; adjust to fit the data.
