treating pitch in tracks
Hey guys,
What is a good way to treat pitch issues-minor ones using SHS? Seemed like this worked better in MC2 than SHS for some reason .
I think there is way to treat it using a bus.
I don't have Antares Autotune or anything else really but what is in Cakewalk's SHS 6 XL. I noticed there are 2 pitch shifting effects in SHS 6 Xl. One comes up when you click directly on the track and one comes up in the effects box or both.
When I tried splitting clips and isolating a spot-usualy the end of a word-it leaves a clip differential or clip start I guess and I hear a pop/click which would make it unbearable and impractical to use in your music. What do you about that or what is a better way to edit using those effects? I noticed it was less noticeable if I split the clips around an entire word or phrase, processed the envelope with pitch shifter about .10 difference-.20 is not that noticeable overall, but can imrove a flat or sharp.
Help!

1) Practice.
2) Punch-in.
3) If it's not too bad, you can double the part and apply some chorusing. or:
4) Not be as anal about it because some amount of pitch variation can actually really bring a vocal track to life.

Good advice guys. Thanks. Getting it right in the recording in the first place and practicing more is something I think I can do generally.
Hey Beagle-long time no see... :)
Nice job on your song-"Still." Sounds like your vocals are doing better-either from practice or whatever you may be using..

Hello Guys, I am new to cakewalk/home recording. I just bought HS 7XL And I like it, i cant wait to become more familiar w it! I use the USB "Mobile-pre" audio interface with my laptop (vista OS, 2G RAM, mobile pre interface for sound card, with the cpu's internal SC disabled).
My Problem: I cannot seem to get any audio from my added synth tracks (TTS 1, SI drums, SI bass, ect..) even in the different views (PRV, Sequencer) even when i try to audition the sounds by clicking in the left margin on the instrument names, again, no sound. The track plays, the signal levels are moving..no sound. When i start a new project "normal" the pre-loaded drum TTS1 synth plays fine w sound, but when i try to add one myself... no audio. My acoustic guitar track in the same project works/sounds fine. there is sound, just not w the synth tracks.
I have searched the blogs/help menu's/ other sources. I really think its an input/output/channel problem, but am exhausted re-arranging them in different orders, with no resolution. Any help is greatly appreciated. thank you.

To use a softsynth, all you have to do is add the softsynth to the synth rack, then on the MIDI track (they only work with MIDI tracks), select the softsynth as the output. That should work.

You should really start a new thread for this, as it has nothing to do with the OP.
