The Pitch Correction effect can be fully automated. This means that you can automate
the Scale and Root parameters to follow harmonies in the project. Depending on the
accuracy of the original intonation, setting the appropriate key with the Scale parameter
may suffice. Less precise intonations may need more significant changes to the Scale and
Root parameters.
Note: Polyphonic recordings, such as choirs, and highly percussive signals with prominent
noisy portions cannot be corrected to a specific pitch. Despite this, you may want to
try the plug-in on some drum sounds, such as toms and congas because it can deliver
interesting results.
Logic Pro Pitch Correction effect parameters
Pitch Correction parameters
• Use Global Tuning button: Turn on to use project Tuning settings for the pitch
correction process. Turn off to set the reference tuning with Ref. Pitch. See Use
Logic Pro Pitch Correction reference tuning.
• Normal and low buttons: Set the pitch range that is scanned (for notes that need
correction). See Logic Pro Pitch Correction effect quantization.
• Ref. Pitch field: Set the reference tuning in cents (relative to the root).
• Root pop-up menu: Choose the root note of the scale.
• Scale pop-up menu: Choose a pitch quantization grid.
• Keyboard: Click a key to exclude the corresponding note from pitch quantization grids.
This effectively removes this key from the scale, resulting in note corrections that are
forced to the nearest available pitch (key). See Exclude notes from pitch correction.
• Bypass buttons: Exclude the corresponding note from pitch correction. In other words,
all notes that match this pitch are not corrected. This applies to both user and built-in
scale quantization grids.
• Bypass All button: Quickly compare the corrected and original signals or audition
automation changes.
• Show input and show output buttons: Show the pitch of the input or output signal,
respectively, on the notes of the keyboard.
• Correction Amount display: Indicates the amount of pitch change. The red marker
indicates the average correction amount over a longer time period. You can use the
display when discussing (and optimizing) the vocal intonation with a singer during a
recording session.
