Understanding the Correction Amount Display
The amount of pitch change is indicated in the horizontal bar displayed below the
keyboard. The red marker indicates the average correction amount over a longer time
period.
If you keep a close eye on this display, you can use it for two important tasks: To better
understand the inner workings of the algorithm, and adjust the Response accordingly.
You can also use the display when discussing (and optimizing) the vocal intonation
with a singer during a recording session.
Automating the Pitch Correction Plug-in
Pitch Correction can be fully automated. This means that you can automate the Scale
and Root parameters to follow the harmonies of the song. Depending on the quality of
the original intonation, setting the key Scale might suffice. Weaker intonations might
need more significant changes to the Scale and Root parameters.

The Pitch Shifter II provides a simple way to combine a pitch-shifted version of the
signal with the original signal.

Shifter II operation for common types of audio material:
