1. Adjust the zoom and scroll controls to focus
on bars 3 through 5. Play the track and note
that the end of the second phrase (the end
of the word “illusion), is sustained too long.
2. Select the Move Point Tool and select the
range from the beginning of the last syllable
of “illusion” (at time position 4:1.80) to the
beginning of the breath before the following
note (at time position 5:2.23).
3. Use the Move Point Tool to select the point
to be moved. In this case we want to move
the very end of the phrase while leaving
the beginning in place. Using the envelope
display as reference, place the cursor over
the very end of the note (at time position
5:2.10). Click and drag to move the end
point back to the beginning of measure 5.
Your display should now look like this:
Play back your track and note that once again
the two vocal parts are now perfectly in sync.
The Move Point Tool:
Adjusting an Internal Syllable
For our final example, we’ll use the Move Point
Tool to correct a syllable in the middle of a
word.
1. Adjust the zoom and scroll controls to focus
on bars 7 through 9. Play the track and
note that the start of the last syllable in the
final word of the track (“delusion”), starts
slightly too early.
2. Select the Move Point Tool and select
the range from the beginning of the word
“delusion” (at time position 7:4.63) to a
beat past the end of the track (at time
position 9:2.0).
3. In this case we want to move the start of
the syllable while leaving the beginning and
end of the selected word in place. Using
the envelope display as reference, place
the cursor over the beginning of the last
syllable (at time position 8:1.73). Click and
drag to move the end point to the right to
time position 8:2.0.
Your display should now look like this:
Play back your track and note that once again
the two vocal parts are now in sync.
You’ve now completely corrected the timing
of the track. If you like, click the Time Control
Enable button to A/B the original and time
shifted versions to remind yourself how far
you’ve come.
Tutorial 12: Time: Creative Editing
In this tutorial we’ll use Auto-Tune 7’s Move
Region function for a creative, rather than
corrective, purpose.
1. Load or import the audio file “Bass_riff” (a
two-bar bass line) into a track of your host
