Tutorial 8: Editing audio II – tempo and groove
Ö Keeping certain segments together while changing
their pitch helps to maintain proper sound characteristics
resulting in a more natural sound.
Click while holding down [Alt]/[Option] to glue together the two seg-
ments of each vocal section.
The picture is what you should see after you glue the segments of each
vocal section together.
Now that we have modified the segmentation, we can ad-
just the pitch of the created segments.
Editing the pitch
1. Double-click on the Vocal audio event to open the
Sample Editor and scroll down so that you can see the
VariAudio segments.
2. Make sure that the Pitch & Warp mode is selected in
the VariAudio tab.
3. Move the ‘ba’ in ‘baby’ to the pitch of ‘E3’.
4. Also move the ‘rea’ in ‘ready’ to the pitch of ‘E3’.
5. Now move the end of ‘are’ and ‘you’ to ‘E3’. Do this by
selecting the three segments and moving the top one to
‘E3’.
Click and drag to select all three segments.
6. Play back the audio to hear your changes.
