multiple edits.
About Pitch Correction
The key for making manipulated sound more natural is using the parameters in the Pitch Correction
section: Note, Vibrato and Sense. Functions for each parameter are as follows:
Note—controls the ratio of pitch shifting to the nearest scale note. With a value of 100, each
section is completely shifting to the nearest scale note.
Vibrato—as the value increases, the vibrato depth gets narrower. At a value of 100, Vibrato is
completely eliminated.
Sense—as the value increases, the range of affecting pitch correction gets wider.
If you set all of above parameters to a value of 100, you will get a "robot voice"-type sound.
Current default values are:
Note: 100
Vibrato: 50
Sense: 100
This setup is a bit too artifical. If you want to make the sound more natural, we suggest the following
setup:
Note: 70-100; be careful of intonation.
Vibrato: 0-20; try 0, if you'd like to keep the original.
Sense: 20-30; please adjust to fit the data.
The above suggestion is just one example. Different types of audio might require different settings.
In addition, try adjusting the Pitch Follow parameter in the Formant Control section as follows:
Set the value close to 100 if you'd like to do subtle pitch correction.
Set close to 0 if you'd like drastic rephrasing.
