Good UB pitch correction plugs?

I was eyeballing that VoiceTweaker plug, and I notice that it isn't UB
I am sure this topic has been discussed before, but would like to know if anyone has any good solid recommendations (either tested or not) of any Universal Binary AU plugins for autotune/pitch correction. Would be a most excellent help, thanks!

Hi,
I haven't used it, but I have seen the Antares Auto-Tune 5 recommended. It is UB.

Pitch Correction

Does anyone have any recommendations for a native pitch correction program that works in Logic. Time and pitch machine isn't making it.

I've used the pitch correction plug in Logic. It's ok if the source you're using it on isn't too bad but Melodyne is much better. You can actually use it as a creation tool to do practically anything you like to audio.
They have 3 versions: Uno, which handles 1 audio track at a time, Cre8, which handles 8 audio tracks at a time, and Studio which handles unlimited tracks and also allows you to pitchshift or timeshift whole stereo mixes without any artifacts.
Go to their site and check out the audio/video examples.

Pitch Correction strange problem.

Hi, hope you can help me out with this. I use Pitch Correction (guess I´ll have to wait a couple of years before Antares releases universal....) and I only use it where I need it. I bypass it and turn it on with regular and simple automation. BUT! Some crackles does appear the seconds before the plug shall turn itself on, and also the second before it shall be bypassed. This is the only plug that does this and it is very frustrating! I run a Macbook Pro with 2 G RAM and I´ve tried to set down and up buffer sizes and rebooting, reset my FirePOD and turned plugindelay compensation on and off but nothing makes any difference. Any ideas to this? I run 10.4.7 and Logic 7.2.2. Thanks.

Strangely, I dont 'have this problem, and I'm still running LP 7.1.1.
Your suggestion, Melissa, would have been my easy and first one as well. Since you posted now, as expected, because you talked about pitch correction more often here already, there is one big concern about the method of duplicating the channel strip settings only for the "pitch correction track":
How do you compensate for the loss of high frequencies when using "Pitch Correction"?
There is definitely a significant and audible alteration in the frequency range happening when using this (and most other) plug-ins. Therefore the results are not "seamless".
Not that I want to call myself a technical expert, but I've been doing pitch correction since the early '90s on a Synclavier, and today use Melodyne, and before that the Pitch Correction plug in within LP. However, on LP, I quickly switched to Pitch & Time, using my own ears again - and achieving far better results.
The answer (and I am asked to correct a lot of vocals) is never the same with different voices, even not with different keys and the same voice.
This entire subject might be worth another thread, so, by keeping it simple, in order to make this suggestion (duplicating the channel strip settings and copying the regions that need pitch correction) work, - and this is really ballpark only, just to get the original poster somewhere ahead - I found, that using a High Shelf Filter around 10kHz with a Gain of +3dB and a Q-Factor of 0.40, followed by a 12dB High Cut Slope around 18kHz with a Q-Factor of 0.60 works pretty nicely in compensating for the frequency loss occured when using the LP plug-in "Pitch Correction". Take it from there for your individual tunes, keys and singers.
New thread, anyone?
... and of course: don't forget to right great music (in tune or not, lol)

Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country.

Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country, without a power converter?

Not staff or owner by a long shot.
I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
Bad cable
bad outlet
bad brick
rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

Use of Pitch Reference graph during Pitch Correction

Hope somebody can help me understand the function of the Pitch Reference graph when using manual pitch correction. It doesn't seem to correctly follow the actual audio waveform. For instance when I'm trying to correct a long-held vocal note that has gone off key at the end, the graph drops down to nothing far before the note ends, so I'm just guessing at where to put control points on the waveform and how far to correct them. I don't understand exactly all of the abrupt ups and downs of the graph. Is it level sensitive or something? Is it adjustable or rescalable? Thanks.

IMO the manual pitch correction tool is one of the most valuable and probably underused tool in the AA arsenal.
It gets significant use here in my studio and the results that can be achieved are nothing short of miraculous.
Before anyone starts going on about 'keep music live' or 'its all about the performance' or whatever, here its all about making the client sound as good as possible - yes even if they shouldn't even be standing in front of a mic. Why? Because thats what they are paying for.
From my experience the graph is nothing more than a guide and it relates more to pitch than the actual wave shape itself.
"Is it adjustable or rescalable?"
Only the view height is adjustable.
Unfortunately the best results require a good 'ear' for pitch and it is awkward as there is no way of selecting one of the other tracks in the multitrack (like a guitar track) to play at the same time in order to better judge the pitch that you are correcting. (I have requested this as a feature!)
So in the absence of said 'guide' track (and as you probably already know) you may have to switch back and forth to check your results - sorry I can't offer more.
Here is something I prepared earlier for another reason :-)

Question about pitch correction

I have the same vocal sung twice on one stereo track. Cant change that. Well, I guess I can, Pan left and pan right and bounce. But I guess I'm looking for a short cut. The two vocals waver a little. The song is in the key of D. Any suggestions on pitch correction settings for this. Thanks Bill

You can make a duplicate track & copy the region to that track. Then, below the meter of each track you see that button that is two interlocking circles? Click-hold on that to bring up a menu, select left for one track and right for the other. Put the pitch corrector plug on each track for separate processing (or use Melodyne or Autotune if you have those).
You could also set the output of the track to a bus, make two aux's with that bus as the input, and do the same button under the meter on each of those.
You'll have to tweak the pitch corrector yourself because results will be highly dependent on the material.

Is the green light showing? Is it steady or flickering? You should try re-setting the SMC.

Pitch Correction Plugin Questions

How well does the Pitch Correction plugin that comes with LE8 work on transforming voices - primarily male to female? The GarageBand Vocal Transformer effect creates a great deal of warble - which makes if fairly unusable.
Also, how does the LE8 differ from the Logic Studio Pitch Shifter II and its Vocal Transformer tool?
I am developing an animated film, and would like to create the voices myself, if possible, using software enhancements. Also, if anyone knows of other software solutions for this technique, I would greatly appreciate the information.
Thanks in advance for posting your responses.

Nicholas,
Although I haven't really tried the Pitch Correction in LE8 yet, I don't think it's ideal for creating different voices. You'd be better off with [Melodyne|http://www.celemony.com/cms>. It is available in several versions and will allow you to not only change pitches but also formants, which will really help you change your voice to sound like different people or even a woman, child, or a chipmunk.

There is no pitch correction in the track editor

I recently upgraded to the newest garageband and everything is great except that when i go to use the track editor and click on the trach panel there are no controls just a blank panel where the pitch correction or 'limit to key' options should be. Can anyone help?

In GarageBand 10.0 the "Limit to Key" and "Pitch Correction" are in the Track Editor, when you select the "Track" tab and not the "region" tab:

Manual Pitch Correction - Track Reference Needed

In Edit View/Effects/Pitch Correction - Manual tab there is no reference for the pitch.
What I mean is if you are pitch correcting a vocal it would be nice to select another track that you have recorded (say a piano or guitar) which you could have playing as well as a reference. Possibly even a volume control to turn the backing up or down while previewing.
This would be a real productive addition.

> I have a hard time working in the manual area because it is difficult to know exactly where you are - meaning, the cursor does not seem to correspond to what you are hearing
I had dismissed this statment too readily thinking what's jon on about its blatantly obvious what's going on
That was until the EXACT same thing suddenly happened to me DOH!
After uninstalling new vsts defraging drives and everything short of kicking the dog I discovered the solution!!
Somehow (and don't ask me how cause I never access the screen) the 'Enable Preroll and Postroll Preview' was ticked in the 'automatic' tab of the Pitch Correction effect
Untick it and manual correction now becomes obvious where you are - ie the cursor now corresponds to what you are hearing.
WooHoo :-)

Can't install the correct plug-in for my phone!

Hello there,
I have downloaded the correct plug in for my phone (Nokia E65) from nokia website mac section.
During installation, the following error appears : ( Please update to the latest version of iSync using Software Updates )
i have iSync 2.4 and it is the latest version of iSync that i can get, besides iSync 2.4 is the requirement as Nokia website says! so what is the problem!
Edit: I have not changed the location of iSync, it is still in the Main Application and not in any sub folders.
Thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: flutooth

Usually this error is caused by the Nokia installer not being able to locate the iSync application in its default location, in the main Applications folder.
However, as you have already checked this there may be some other error in the installer. Try running the installer from an account with Admin privileges on your Mac.
You could also try installing it manually using Pacifist. The plugin should be installed in:
{Your Mac HD}/Library/PhonePlugins/
(if that directory doesn't already exist, you can create it yourself.)

Pitch Correction plugin and Software Monitoring

Okay guys...When ever I use the pitch correction plugin...I get a great deal of latency even when i change my buffer...this doesnt sound normal, because when I had the demo of Autotune...this never happens. When I am singing...I cant stack because of this. Also, when I click low latency mode (which i shouldnt have to) i don't hear the software monitoring(the effects of the PitchCorr)...help! i dont know what to do.... this is bad because i cant properly execute what I normally used to do with the autotune...might I add though, Pitch correction sounds alot more natural than autotune!!! sounds great! so excited to be able to use it properly!!! I was ready to purchase AT, but I dont want to anymore!!!

and beejay dont act like its uncommon for singers to use it while tracking.
In my experience, it's incredibly uncommon to use the software Autotune *while tracking*.
For exactly the reasons I described (and others).
Auto Tune doesnt have this problem...Logics autotune does...
Auto Tune absolutely has latency. It's how pitch detection works.
From the AutoTune manual:
"In order for Auto-Tune to automatically correct pitch, it must also detect the
pitch of the input sound. It's easy for you to calculate the pitch of a periodic
waveform: Simply measure the time between repetitions of the waveform.
Divide this time into one, and you have the frequency in Hertz.
Auto-Tune does the same thing: It looks for a periodically repeating waveform
and calculates the time interval between repetitions.
The pitch detection algorithm in Auto-Tune is virtually instantaneous. Like
your eye-ball, it can see the repetition in a periodic sound within a few
cycles. This usually occurs before the sound has suffcient amplitude to be
heard. Used in combination with a slight delay (about 1 to 10 milliseconds),
the output pitch can be detected and corrected without artifacts in a seamless
and continuous fashion."
So you are always going to get some milliseconds of latency. Whether AutoTune is faster than Logic's I don't know and don't really care. This only matters if you are using software monitoring while tracking, and if you are doing this then you are also adding additional delays on the signal because of the round-trip buffer sizes and so on anyway.
What you are actually saying is that for you, the latency you get tracking through AutoTune is acceptable, and it is not acceptable when using Logic's pitch correction.
In that case, either don't track through pitch detection, or buy AutoTune...

How is pitch correction in X working? Can i scrap Melodyne?

Having problems with Melodyne since i upgraded MacBook. Download worked but can't seem to get licenses to transfer.
Anyone try the new Pitch correction in Logic X. I'm getting ready to switch to X from 9. If possible i'd like to start weening myself from 3rd party software (especially Waves) and just work in Logic environment. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I've never owned Melodyne myself, although I've been around on projects where it has been used. Seemed ok for the fixes we needed.
Logic's new(ish) flex pitch features leave a lot to be desired, in my opinion. When enabled on, say, a vocal track, it immediately destroys and chews up the entire track's sibilances and breaths i.e. predominantly the 'unvoiced' aspects of the sound. That's before you've even made any specific edits..!
If I absolutely HAVE to fix some tuning in a vocal track, I make a copy of the channel and drop only the exact sections of audio that require any attention onto the duplicate channel, and do my flex-pitch editing on there.
I haven't really tried it on anything other than vocals, so can't comment on how usable it might be on other sounds. I'd guess there might me similar problems on sounds that have more breathy or sibilant tones, e.g. Saxophones. But... when do saxophonists ever play out of tune...?
The interface is pretty easy and quite powerful, but it can't, for example, change a note within a chord on a guitar track, as I've seen is possible in Melodyne.
Just my experience.
Cheers,
Bryan.

I have a MacBook Air 13 , mid 2009 & am trying to get it to show power point on a projector, I have the correct plug. Do I have to pst some keys to fire up the projector ? Kevin

I have a MacBook Air 13 , mid 2009 & am trying to get it to show power point on a projector, I have the correct plug. Do I have to push some keys to fire up the projector ? Kevin

The short answer is no. You will, however need to fire up the projector manually, and then change the input for the projector (if it hasn't already) to that of the computer. Once the projector is fired up and displaying an image of the screen of your computer, simply start the powerpoint as you normally would, since the projector will mirror your screen. If you will be talking for long periods of time without pressing any keys, or advancing the presentation, you might want to change the energy saver preferences to stop the computer from going to sleep as fast as it would. Does all this help?
Best of luck!

Pitch Correction doesn't hold my changes

I tried using the pitch correction on a couple of spots...got the tool to give me a complete flat line on a G note and saved my changes...went back to the song, but it still didn't sound quite right...went back to the same part that I corrected and noticed that the flat line I created was no longer straight across...the line was jagged and had to be "re-aligned".
Has anyone else had this happen?

I'm assuming that you are using the manual mode
"got the tool to give me a complete flat line on a G note and saved my changes"
As this is a destructive action then the change has been applied once you press 'OK'
"went back to the same part that I corrected and noticed that the flat line I created was no longer straight across"
Here I'm not sure what you mean - do you mean that with several points you created a flat line - ie litrerally a straight line?
or do you mean that you changed the audio to sing at a constant pitch?
Either way the points become meaningless once the effect has been applied as the points would then be referencing a different sounding piece of audio
Am I not understanding the problem?
Not sure if this helps but this is a bit of a tutorial we slapped together a while back
