Eraser
Use the eraser to reset the output value of the orange curve.
The pitch characteristic then corresponds to the original again and the curve
corresponds to the recognized curve.
Magnifying glass zoom tool
Zoom tool: Left mouse button "Zoom" zooms in and the right mouse button
zooms out.
Left-clicking and dragging can stretch out a range which can then be zoomed entirely.
Navigation tool
With the navigation tool, the visible clip can be moved vertically and
horizontally.
Applications of the Elastic Audio easy editor
Pitch correction (intonation correction) with monophonic audio material
Getting started (for all subsequent editing)
• Load objects into the Elastic Audio easy editor.
• Set the desired selection state. All slices are selected directly after the analysis.
• Select suitable algorithms – you should test here to see if "monophonic voice"
(see above) is the suitable algorithm.
• Now the pitch can be edited with the mouse tools by editing the orange curve or
the pitch of the slice objects.
Manual correction of the whole pitch of a pitch slice
• Select the slice with the selection tool (arrow).
• Move vertically with the mouse.
Automatic correction of the pitch characteristic
• Select the slice objects with the selection tool (arrow).
• Select the scale in the Edit slice objects group and, if required, deselect the tones
which are not to be quantized in the keyboard by clicking on them.
• Press the "Tone pitch characteristics" button
• With the parameter "Quantization smoothing" you can reduce the "strength" of
the quantization.
In principle, this editing process more or less levels off pitch characteristics inside a
slice.
Correction of the increase or decrease in the pitch.
• Select the slice objects with the selection tool (arrow).
• Click and drag the pitch curve by moving the two handles at each end of the slice
objects or on the orange lines.
