Hi Chris No, it sounds like given the circumstances I’m going to have to do separate vocal tracks. The harmonisation issue doesn’t exist, as I have perfect pitch, after a fashion these days, but I do still have it.
As I said, there are two issues here regarding ProTools. Lynne tells me that the funds could be made available if need be. But the main issue is that it seems that Avid will only ship ProTools boxed, not downloadable. That said, I am tempted by the M Audio box they are currently offering alongside a purchase of ProTools. But I think I’d prefer a digital download. I’m keen to get this done, but I need to brush up on my production of FX and VoiceOver skills. I have a bunch of pre-recorded FX’s here which I need to loop together. To make them sound right even over a VoiceOver is something I’m going to have to learn over again because I haven’t done this kind of work digitally. I used to do it daily when we were back in the good old world of tape splicing. But that was about a million years ago and I’ve probably forgotten all the skills I once had. But I want to re-learn.

Otherwise, it's gonna sound terrible! Yes, you can raise the pitch, but then you look at two problems. Firstly, the person will either 1, sound all chipmunk like, or 2, they will sound all chipmunk like, plus if you force it to only adjust the pitch, not the speed, then you'll introduce really weird sounding artifacts. coming from me being a professional sound engineer who does this for a living, trust me, just to do pitch correction, is probably not what you're looking for here. It does have it's time and place, yes, and without hearing the raw vocal, it's hard to say, but I just can't see that being the best way to work through this. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
