Of course most people have heard of the antares autotune program. There are some other free tools like g snap and even visual vox vst. The issue is that sonar is not really accessible and then, even if anyone dares to buy the ridiculously expensive 10000000 dollars--rip off dancing dots stuff, these plug-ins might be too graphical to be used with jaws and caketalking. I must say though I like the alternative, J sonar, which even under development still makes sonar soewhat usable. i am going to test both as time goes by but i really would like to know if there is some way and software i can use (whatever it takes, but successfully) for accomplishing and pitch or vocal correction tasks? I know there are other slike yamaha pitch fix, Xponaut's Voice Tweaker and Celimony studio's Melodyne. If anyone has used them to do mosts task can you either contact me with a private message or just post on the board? Any help is very much apreciated.
Antares is the easiest to use. It takes some mousing around witgh JSonar, but it does work. I've never used the Dancing Dots stuff, but I know those folks are a lil upset because JSonar's so good. I've produced several professional projects using Sonar, the free scripts, and Autotune.
good for you *grins*. Now, as for autotune... is it a standalone or a vst? Because if so I haven't really use any vst's with sonar. As far as I understand it, you use them as if they were soft synths right?...
It is VST or DirectX. Either way. You use it as an fx plug-in.
ok. I figured the whole vst and direct X stuff out. i get the interface--i can set a scale and its mode by the use of the jaws cursor, but when i hit audition, it doesn't seem to aply the changes i have selected. How is this exactly laid out? The first thing jaws reports is the tiel, followed by a preset selection box wih ... 1 item, whose label is not read, then there is the OK button, then everything else seems to be tabs. I know that if I click where it says which scale it is and what mode I can change these parameters. i can also change wether it would be a soprano voice, tenor and so on.. then there are a series of numbers (with a slider maybe?) and thats it... but everything after a number is "tab"....
ok, so it looks like g-snap would do the trick and it has a really siilar and more usable interface than that of antares... although, neither of the above do what I instruct them... any specific version or mode (like midi) that i should be using? lol I need info on this because I am being asked to record someone's vocals for the end of this week and there is no other source i can consult... (if there is I would love to know). Thanks still
finally, something i got worked for me; although not the way i wanted it to, goldwave has a somewhat descent usable tool under the effect.. this means though that i ahve to select every little not or bar and make fine little detailed adjustments to it... it'd be easier if i could use some program that does the work specifically though. ah well, i guess i shall stick to this until I can find more information elsewhere or hopefully on this board; so far though, the net contains no particularly useful information and the little bits mentioning it are on the dancing dots lists but they provide no instructions or anything regarding how to use these programs and jaws, or how to use them via midi or to any accessible way. Heh not even articles or anything.
