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 options
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.
Error in the fundamental frequency analysis
Symptoms:
Sound:
The pitch varies strongly for a short period and does not correspond to the set value or characteristic.
When using the monophonic voice
algorithm, additional strongly distorted noises arise. The algorithm, which depends on the fundamental
frequency recognition itself, fails.
Graphics in the editor
: The curve exhibits a short strong jump and behaves in a very jerky manner.
Solutions:
With the help of the eraser you can try superimposing the original curve at these points.
If you set high values for the curve smoothing parameter, then short "hiccups" can be reduced in
severity or prevented completely.
Correction of slice borders
So that the automatic or manual correction of the mid pitches of slices provides correct results, the slice
borders have to match well with the note borders.
The slice borders can be manually changed
by connecting two slices to one another
with the pen
Ctrl + or
and using the cutting tool to cut through at
the correct position.
