Min Pitch Sets the minimum, or lowest, pitch
that will be used in the plug-in’s calculations
during the Time Compression/Expansion pro-
cess. The control has a range of 40 Hz to 1000
Hz.
This control should be set lower when process-
ing bass guitar or audio material with a low fre-
quency range. Set this control higher when pro-
cessing higher frequency range audio material.
Accuracy Prioritizes the processing resources al-
located to audio quality (Sound) or timing
(Rhythm). Moving the slider towards “Sound”
generally results in better sonic quality and
fewer audio artifacts. Moving the slider towards
“Rhythm” puts the emphasis on keeping the
tempo consistent.
When you are working with audio loops, listen
carefully and adjust the Accuracy slider until
you find a setting that keeps timing solid within
the region. If you don’t, start and end times may
be precise, but the beats in rhythmic material
may appear to be shuffled if too little priority is
given to Rhythm.
Pitch Shift
The Pitch Shift plug-in adjusts the pitch of any
source audio file with or without a change in its
duration. This is a very powerful function that
transposes audio a full octave up or down in
pitch with or without altering playback speed.
Gain Adjusts input level, in 10ths of a dB. Drag-
ging the slider to the right increases gain, drag-
ging to the left decreases gain.
Coarse and Fine Adjusts amount of pitch shift.
The Coarse slider transposes in semitones (half
steps). The Fine slider transposes in cents (hun-
dredths of a semitone).
Time Correction Disabling this option has the ef-
fect of “permanently varispeeding” your audio
file. The file’s duration will be compressed or ex-
tended according to the settings of the Coarse
and Fine pitch controls. When Time Correction
Time Compression & Expansion settings
created in version 4.x and later of Pro Tools
for Windows are not compatible with later
versions.
