Chapter 11 Pitch eects 223
Use Pitch Correction eect reference tuning
Turn on the Use Global Tuning button to use your host application Tuning settings for the pitch
correction process. This ensures that all software instruments and your tuned vocal part will be in
tune with each other.
If Use Global Tuning is turned o, you can use the Ref. Pitch eld to set the reference tuning to
the root key or note.
As an example of where Ref. Pitch can be eective, consider that the intonation of a vocal line is
often slightly sharp or at throughout an entire song. You can use Ref. Pitch to address this issue
at the input of the pitch detection process by setting it to reect the constant pitch deviation in
cent values. This allows the pitch correction to perform more accurately.
Note: Tunings that dier from software instrument tuning can be interesting when you want
to individually correct the notes of singers in a choir. If all voices are individually and perfectly
corrected to the same pitch, the choir eect is partially lost. You can prevent this by (de)tuning
the pitch corrections individually.
Set your host application reference tuning
Do one of the following:
m In Logic Pro: To determine the tuning reference for all software instruments, choose File > Project
Settings > Tuning.
m In MainStage: To determine the tuning reference for all software instruments, choose MainStage
> Preferences > Tuning, then open the General tab.
