Garden8 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hi! I am using Transpose in the region inspector to pitch shift an audio region (saxophone) a whole step up. When I do this it shortens the note (by about a beat) and adds a "ghost" note at the end of the region. Can anyone help? I'd like to shift the pitch and keep the original note value and not have any audio artifacts added. Logic 10.7.2 macOS 12.0.1 MacBook Pro M1 Max Thank you!

David Nahmani Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 What Flex mode are you using on that track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi, David! Slicing. Ok! Well I tried it in slicing mode here and it works as expected without shortening the note. Is the region flexed? I mean is that note stretched or compressed before you transpose it? Could you post before and after screenshots, or better yet, attach a small example of your project that reproduces this issue?

Garden8 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Thanks, David! I will do so when I get a minute. For now I did a workaround by using the PitchShift insert to accomplish the same goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garden8 Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hi again, David, File attached! As you can see, I transposed the region 10 semitones up using Transpose in the inspector. When I press play, the note ends a little after the first beat of the 2nd measure. But when I transpose it back down to the original note, the note plays as normal—i.e., it ends a little before the 3rd measure. Thank you! sax.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David Nahmani Posted February 11, 2022 Solution Share Posted February 11, 2022 File attached! As you can see, I transposed the region 10 semitones up using Transpose in the inspector.

Ok so I was able to reproduce this and you are correct, this is apparently the expected behavior when using the slicing mode. So I suggest you use another mode such as the Monophonic mode for example, which works the way you want in this example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I suggest not pitching it up 10 semitones if you only intend to go one whole step up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I suggest not pitching it up 10 semitones if you only intend to go one whole step up ? I'm assuming the exaggerated value was chosen to exacerbate the unexpected note length difference for troubleshooting purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
