In the opposite case, Tune might remain at the same note, although the singer was
supposed to go to the next one. Here the Slice tool allows segmenting the single note into
separate ones by clicking on the point at which you want to slice. Click-drag to splice a
whole segment. Use the Note tool to drag the note or segment to its correct place. By
selecting specific segments, you can adjust the Correction parameters of everything
within the selection, yet protect the rest of the track.
If this isn’t giving you the results you desire, you can use Line or Pencil tools to draw a
correction line which forces the pitch of an event to anything you desire. The Line and
Pencil tools will override any correction parameters and draw the curve as you design it.
After this you can still select and smooth your edit using the correction parameters.
Part 5: Vibrato Editing
Vibrato is an important part of many vocal performances. Vibrant pitch and amplitude
modulations add “feel” to a vocal take but ultimately conflict with a brute force pitch
correcting process. Tune allows you to achieve the kind of vibrato results you want by
offering two types of vibrato editing, Natural and Synthetic.
Natural Vibrato editing relies on the detection of natural vibrato in the singer’s original
take. The detection can serve two different applications:
Segmentation – In the Segmentation section at the bottom left part of the plug-in is
the Vibrato segmentation button. Turning it on will highlight the detected natural
vibrato with a red highlight. It will eliminate over-segmentation often caused by
detecting the vibrato as separate target notes. The vibrato will target it to the note
closest to the average pitch of the vibrato segment.
Manipulation (depends on previously detected vibrato) – If you have a passage
which is well sung, but you want to increase or decrease the amount of vibrato, use
the Amount control. You can adjust up to twice the original, or down to none. If you
feel the natural vibrato is not good and you want to replace it with synthetic vibrato,
you can use the Amount control to flatten the natural vibrato, making way for
synthetic vibrato in its place.
The natural vibrato attack control will define how quickly the manipulation attacks.
Synthetic Vibrato editing requires no detection other then the normal pitch detection and
can be applied over any selection using the controls at the bottom part of the vibrato
section.
The manipulations will be applied across selected segments only, so it’s important to
identify and select the part of the correction curve where you want to detect and
manipulate the vibrato.
Part 6: Additional useful features
If you’ve followed the steps in parts 1-5 of this chapter, you should have a very well tuned
track. Some of the processes may need to be repeated, either over previously
unprocessed sections, or “on top” of existing processing, to achieve perfect results.
Undo/Redo
Tune offers a multi-level Undo/Redo. Undo allows you to back-up through 32 steps of
history. You can jump to a specific point in history by clicking the Undo History pop-up
menu, next to the Undo button. Each undo will create a Redo History that will allow
