Pitch-sliced-objects and VIP objects
The basic
frequency analysis reduces the pitch slices to pieces which ideally
correspond to one note in the music's melody or one syllable in speech. For
speech the pitches correspond to the level of the vowels.
After the analysis, all of the slices are shown selected (blue).
The subdivision into slices can be corrected manually. The slices are cut apart
with the scissors tool, and then merged together with the rubber band gripper
tool ("Ctrl" held down).
The blue line represents the mid-range pitch for each object and results
approximately from the average value of the pitches in the slice.
In selected pitch-sliced objects the functions found in the “Editing sliced-
object” group can be applied, i.e. the correction of the pitch sequence and the
mid-range pitch.
The option to reset the corrections for selected slices is also available.
Selecting sliced objects
Sliced objects can be selected and deselected. "Ctrl + A" selects all slices;
clicking on the “empty space” deselects them.
Fundamental frequency analysis correction
General op
tions
The fundamental frequency analysis and the related fundamental frequency-
dependent pitch-slice-analysis may fail or cause errors for the following
reasons:
 Reverbed material,
 Runtime stereophonics,
 False analysis,
 Voiceless vocals (sibilants...),
 Noisy sounds.
In the last two cases, analysis cannot return a result as the fundamental
frequency is not available.
MAGIX Elastic Audio provides the user with the opportunity to achieve good
results using many manual options, whereby the fundamental frequency
analysis does not or cannot deliver any results.
