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 am trying to update Bridge but I keep getting a message to turn off Bridge.  It is not on.  How do I fix this so it can finish updateing?

    In the advanced Bridge preferences, there is an option to start at login. I have never used this option, but I believe it loads part of Bridge automatically if that option is selected. I'm using Windows, and have what is called a system tray. Software such as Bridge (and others) will have an icon displayed in the system tray (lower right-hand corner of the screen). Is it possible that Bridge is loaded at least to the point that it is in the system tray?

    When I purchased my computer I installed  office for mac so I susally used outlook with no problems. My original apple id is the same as my pop server based e-mail account.  I had an old me.com account but never used it. When I set up i cloud on my macbook I could not get my email to download to the cloud. My calendars, contacts and everything else works. At one of the Mac stores a salesman told  me I needed to re  route my e-mail to a Google Account, which I did but still no icloud mail. I now have my original pop mail account , the google account ,i cloud and I still can't get i cloud to work with my office for mac outlook.  HELP I want one account that uses the cloud How do I make this happen?

    Your pop account won't work with iCloud, it's the alternate me address you get when you create an iCloud account that works with iCloud. Outlook won't work with iCloud either, you need to use Address Book, iCal etc etc.

    I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • When I select camera, it shows a black screen. How do I correct this so I can take pic and video record? Thanks for any suggestions.

    How do I change camera from black screen?

    Quit the camera app completely and then try it again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
    If that doesn't help, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the

  • Fonts in things like Help are way to small. I have Firefox set for size24 but Help and lots of other things show up in say a size 12. How do I correct this. I can barely read this help screen.

  • I keep getting an error -54 when attempting to back up and restore. How do I correct the issue?

    I keep getting an error -54 when attempting to back up my 4S and restore to my new 5S. How do I correct the issue?

    Can you try again with Firefox 4.0b8 (desktop) and 4.0b3 (Android)? We have changed the way that Sync setup works, and it no longer requires entering the password and sync key by hand.

  • 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.

  • Cannot print since downloading iOS8. How do I correct problem?

    Cannot print since I downloaded iOS8. How do I correct the problem?

    Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
    *'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
    If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

  • How to Virtual cube with services works

    Hi,
    How to Virtual cube with services works.
    can anyone provide me a realtime scenerio.
    if possible provide some code.
    Thanks,
    cheta.

    For which functinality you are trying to create VC with services.
    This is mostly used in SEM BCS.
    You have to create cube similar path like normal cube, but select in the properties virtual cube, services.
    There is a standard FM which connects the Virtual cube to the required cube in BCS. ( this is done by BCS data basis generation function) and we have to do nothing for FM.
    In BCS we use virtual cube only for reporting purpose, since standard BCS cube cannot be used for reporting. hence what we do is create another virtucal cube very smiliar to BCS cube.
    Then both the Virtual cube and BCS cube are connected by standard FM.

    I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
    The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
    I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

  • I can not login to a certain account due to an error stating cookie not enabled, however my 3rd party cookies are enabled. How do I correct this?

    I can not login to a certain account due to an error stating cookie not enabled, however my 3rd party cookies are enabled. How do I correct this?

    COOKIE_DOMAIN=.hackers
    I think this is the problem. .hackers is no valid cookie domain. You have to use something like:
    .xy.ab
    (two points)
    I fear it is not possible to correct this easiely. First change the hostname to something allowed e.g. hackers.com
    Then open an ldap browser and edit ou=iplanetamplatformservice,ou=services,dc=hackers
    There is an entry with an xml. Copy the xml to an editor, search for .hackers, change it to a valid domainname.
    Im not sure if a restart of the webserver is necessary here.
    Another idea: You could also try to set the cookie domain to solnce.hackers, maybe this is accepted, even if it is not a cookie domain. But I dont know if this works...

    I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
    Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
    In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

  • 4/30/2011.  Can you please help me.  I have an iBook G4 with Leopard OS 10.5. Yet how do I correct Website movies going flow-pause-flow-pause-flow etc?  Chuck Y Chicago

    4/30/2011.  Can you please help me.  I have an iBook G4 with Leopard OS 10.5 and latest Safari updates and maximum Ram (512 or 640 kb).  Yet how do I correct Website movies going flow-pause-flow-pause-flow etc?  The problem is with the iBook, not the website and movies.  Thank you.  Chuck Y Chicago

    5/2/2011.  Thank you all for your replies.  My iBook is in the third group of the website you referred me to.  I bought it July 5, 2004 at CDW near here.  It had OS 10.3.6.  1GB (GHz.  Power PC G4.), opaque white case. Its screen is 14.1 inches.  Soon after I bought it I had its 128 RAM raised to 640 RAM, to work with maximum capability for converting VCR recorded videos/movie into digital files and burning these onto DVDs.  Later I had an Airport card installed.  As time passed I opened the apple icon (upper left hand corner of the screen), and Softwate Update, and eventually had this install OS 10.5.8.  At first It could only be updated to OS 10.4.  But then after several years I bought Leopard OS 10.5.8 from the Apple store near here.  By then Leopard had been adapted to work on iBook G4.  Its specifications are described with the same Apple icon and About this Mac. 
    It will play You Tube and similar websites OK.  But videos/movies from websites such as hulu.com, ABC, CBS and so on, it displays a pattern of flow-pause-flow-pause-flow-pause-flow and so on.
    I thought first to see if this forum would have any suggestions.
    I think probably that its CPU has reached its limit; later Mac laptops have greater CPUs.
    Many thanks to you all.   C Yopst   Chicago
