10. Set the Retune Speed to 0 and play back the sound. Note that the
errant note is now in tune.
To continue, here is an alternative approach to the same pitch problem
using the Line Tool.
1. Click the Select All button and then the Cut button to delete the yellow
curve created above.
2. Use the Line Tool to draw a horizontal line as shown below (press the
Option/Alt key to constrain the line to horizontal):
3. Set the Retune Speed to 20 and play back the sound. Experiment with
other Retune Speeds to hear their effects.
Vibratos and other pitch gestures typically occur with related loudness
gestures. Specifically, with vibratos, some vocalists produce mostly pitch
variations and little loudness variations while others produce small pitch
variations and a lot of loudness variations (the latter is often called
tremolo). Nonetheless, almost all voices seem to produce a combination of
both pitch and related loudness variations. Therefore, trying to take an
existing vibrato and change it (say speed it up) often sounds unnatural
