Track info vocal transformer

there is an effect that one can create in the track info pane of any given track, the one i'm reffering to is the 'vocal transformer' here u can change the pitch of the track, but i'm unsure of what the increments are in. ive changed the pitch up +5, so is that 5 semitones, tones, a fifth, what?
Also was wondering what the slider is underneath the pitch one, it just says sound high and low. I hope that this isn't too vague!
thanks people.
Anthony

So +5 is a fourth.
And for people who aren't familiar with formants: "higher" makes the voice more "female" and "lower" more "male", without changing the pitch. This slider works best when applied delicately.

Vocal Transformer vs AUPitch

has anyone compared the Vocal Transformer to Apples AUPitch?
Although the controls are different they seem to do the same thing. Its as though they are both the same AU but with two different user interfaces. But I'm not sure. It seems that AUPitch is getting the same job done with less stress on GB and with less sonic artifacts than Vocal Transformer.
Has anyone compared the two?

Well after much experimenting I have found that Apples AUPitch is better for changing the pitch of a vocal track than Vocal Transformer.
I have found that Vocal Transformer introduces a number of odd sounding artifacts to a track particularly when changing the pitch upwards from male to female.
Granted neither AU does a completely realistic job when changing a male vocal to a female vocal but with the right amount of tweaking good results can be achieved.
I was able to fool some people into thinking a male track was actually a female singing when using Apples AUPitch. Whereas the Vocal transformer made the female track sound simply weird with mickey mouse swirly sound every now and then. More now than then actually.
Well just checking in!

After reverting back to Garageband 6.0, I find that I still lack all the Garageband Effects (Distortion, Vocal Transformer, etc.). The Garageband 10 "AU" plug ins are there instead. I need help getting the old effects back.

For background: I lost my v6 because I had to reformat my whole hard drive. When I reformatted I lost GB and everything else I had. I downloaded GB (unaware of the awfulness that is v10) from the App Store. The fact that v10 does not have all my favorite and most used effects from v6, I uninstalled v10 and redownloaded v6 from my App Store Purchases. I load up v6 only to find that all the default effects are there for each instrument, but when I go to add an effect (i.e. Distortion, Vocal Transformer, Flanger, etc.), instead of the list of classic effects, there's the list of awful AU effects from v10. What gives?!

For me, the "Edit" panel in GB6.0.5 looks like this:
Are you saying, that the upper part with "GarageBand Effects" is missing?
Then check, what is installed in your System Library in the folder
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/
(the topmost "Library" folder on your Hard Drive.
You may need to restore the old GarageBand effects and Track settings files from your backup:
i.e look into the folder /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings/
and restore the settings for Chorus, Flanger, Vocal Transformer, Tremolo, whatever effects you are missing.
And also look for missing files in "Track Settings" folder and "Sampler" folder.
What kind of backup do you have? If you have a Time MAchine backup, go back in time to the time before you upgraded to GB 10.

Logic Express 9 Vocal Transformer Not the Same as Manual

I've searched high and low and cannot find anything. I just purchased LE 9 last week and as I was gong through the Effects manual noticed that the "vocal transformer" I have is not the same as the one shown in the manual.
The one I have with LE 9 only has 2 parameters/sliders and is the old hideous brushed aluminum interface.
Contrast this with the one in the LE 9 manual which has pitch, format, pitch base, mix, tracking, and robotize to name a few. (I also searched online and there are a few youtube videos of LE 8 with this same interface, so I know it's not new.)
I have FCS 2(Soundtrack Pro) on my machine, but as a matter of testing, I installed LE 9 on my iMac which does not contain any other audio applications and the same effect unit came up for Vocal Transformer.
Can anyone confirm that LE 9 should have the Vocal Transformer unit that I saw in the manual? It's a little frustrating to say the least.

Hi,
if I remember well, it was already like that in LE8. The manual shows theLogic Pro version.
So, unless I'm mistaken, it's simply a misprint in the manual...

Can you use the Vocal Transformer for Live Show?

Can you use the Vocal Transformer for Live Show? I have automations set up in my vocal track using the vocal transformer and would like my vocals to adjust accordingly while performing live. Is this possible to configure and if so, how do I set it up at the venue?

Vocal Transformer opens in MainStage. All controls in VT are visible & editable in MS. Don't set it up at the venue. Set it up in one or more patches before you leave your house. You will need up to twelve sliders or knobs plus one or two buttons on your controller to get the most out of it.

HELP!! Volume slider dimmed in track info--using Shure 8900W mic + iMic

After much back and forth at the Apple Retail store, I was talked into buying a Shure 8900W microphone plus a Griffin iMic for recording vocals in GB3. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Tiger (10.4.7).
I've done all the right stuff--in both system preferences and GB preferences the iMic is recognized and selected. I know GB recognizes and hears the mic because I see the feedback in the track, but the sound isn't coming out.
I've noticed that the volume slider in track info is dimmed, and I can't seem to do anything to change that. Is that the problem? Can I do anything short of buying a whole new mic?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the monitor (in the Track Info) switched on or off? Have you checked what driver is being used for audio output (in the GB prefs)? If you can confirm that sound is being picked up/recorded by the mic (either by seeing the green/orange/red level monitor respond to input, or by seeing recorded regions with audio waveforms displayed), then it should be some relatively simple setting somewhere that's keeping you from hearing stuff.
Sound is definitely being picked up/recorded by the mic. I do see the monitor responding to input, and the waveforms are registering sound when I use the mic. I just can't find the relatively simple setting that is keeping me from hearing stuff.
Interestingly, after I posted this help message, I connected my mic and iMic to my PowerBook and was able to easily record and playback in GB. Does this issue have something to do with the Intel transition?
Thanks for all your feedback.

Can hear Vocal Transformer in Garageband 10 but can't access

I've searcehd the forums, not finding the issue I'm having.
I've imported a Garageband 6 file that has the vocal tranformer effect applied into Garageband 10. I can hear the effect on the track in 10, but cannot find where it's being generated from. There's no options in the smart controls other than "compressor, high pass filter, overdrive" and no button on top right to see any more options. But I can hear the tranformation. How do I access it?
Thanks!

Do you still have GarageBand '11, version 6.0.x installed? Then you should be seeing the old vocal patches of GarageBand '11 in the Legacy section of the Instrument Library.
Legacy > GarageBand > Vocals
The patches "Deeper Vocals" and "Mouse Voice" have controls for the Vocal Transformer in the Smart Controls:
You can adjust the pitch and the formants just like in GarageBand '11:

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.

How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

Hello,
I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
My 2.5 questions are:
1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
Thank you!

1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

I am trying to simulate the robot voice synthesizer sound that is produced by that electronic voice simulator after someone as had their voice box removed. The vocal transformer insert in Logic Pro doesn't quite do it. Suggestions?

Try one of the Audio Voice Effects like Alien / Cosmic / Robot… etc. to start with…
Adjust the Settings in the Inspector to your liking…

How can I burn music from my iTunes library to CD, while still keeping the track info intact?

I made several CDs for a friend, but when my friend imported the disc into iTunes none of the track names showed up (it just said "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.) This is annoying because it was 8 CDs worth of music (over 150 songs!)
Is there a software or any tool I can use that will allow me to burn music for friends, while still keeping the track info intact?

Yes. Click on this link to purchase gift cards for your friends. They will get nice new tracks with all correct tags.

Is there a way to transfer track info automatically from one album (low bit mp3s) to another (Aiff) with identical tracks?

I have track info (artwork, lyrics, translation and recording history etc) for low bit album rips. Now I have aquiered the CDs and have imported tracks as aiff. Is there a way to automate the info transfer? Thank you.

Unable to edit track info in iTunes on a Mac Air

Hello,
I recently switched from a windows PC to a Mac Air. All my music was organizaed on an external hard drive. I have now imported the music in to my iTunes on my Mac Air. I am unable to edit individual track info when I use "Get Info". I tried to look up for permissions on the particular folder and found that they are all set as "Read Only".
Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Go to your Music (media) folder. The one that holds the actual files.
Click it and press Cmd+I or right click and select "Get Info"
In the Info pane, click the lock to change permissions:
You'll need to tnter your password to make any chnages.
Set ALL permissions to Read & Write
Click the Gear and select "Apply to enclosed items..."
Then click "OK" when asked if you're sure.
Let it apply to everything and THEN try editing the track oinfo.

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

How do I get the iTunes 12 miniplayer to display track info. All I get is a search box.

I can display track info, but only in the larger mini display - not what I want. How can I simply display track name, duration, time remaining when the mini display is at its smallest...? This wasn't a problem with earlier versions. Aaaargh!
