Tutorial 8: Editing audio II – tempo and groove
Micro pitches
In this example we are going to change the tuning of the
segments by adjusting its micro pitches.
1. Double-click on the audio file to open the Sample Editor.
2. Open the VariAudio tab.
3. The Pitch & Warp mode should already be selected. If
it isn’t, click the Pitch & Warp button to activate it.
4. Click in the upper right hand corner of the segment.
The mouse pointer becomes an up down arrow.
5. Drag downwards to change the micro pitch curve.
We are going to try to simulate the sound of the saxophone dropping its
pitch or sliding downwards.
6. Play back the audio file to hear the changes.
Ö You will notice that it doesn’t sound very realistic since
a sax player would generally wait until the very end and
slide the note down quickly. This is where we can add a tilt
anchor and achieve the sound we want.
7. Choose Undo tilt micro pitches from the Edit menu.
8. Move the mouse pointer to the upper border of the
segment. Click to insert a tilt anchor.
9. Click again in the upper right hand corner of the seg-
ment and drag downwards.
This time the tilt anchor is used as an axis around which the micro pitch
curve can be rotated.
VariAudio and vocals
In this example you will use VariAudio on a vocal with
backing tracks. Be sure to read the previous examples on
VariAudio before proceeding with this section.
Editing the vocals
Correcting the segmentation
1. Play and listen to the project. Notice how the vocals
sound before we use VariAudio.
The tempo should be set at 75 BPM and cycle should be turned on cy-
cling between bars 1 to 7.
2. Double-click on the Vocal audio event to open the
Sample Editor.
3. Open the VariAudio Tab and activate the Segments
mode.
4. Click while holding down [Alt]/[Option] to glue together
the first two segments of the first vocal section and the sec-
ond and third segments of the second vocal section. These
segments should actually be together to successfully
change their pitch.
In the first word ‘ba-by’, glue together the two pitches that make up ‘ba’.
Also glue together the second and third segments that make up ‘rea’ in
‘ready’.
