Can you draw in pitch for vox?

[ForWinterfell]

I could be mistaken, but I could've sworn that when I was looking into getting Logic Pro 9, I saw a graphic that resembled what looked like a penciled-in series of lines, like connect-the-dots, going up and down (as if on a scale) over a vocal track. It almost looked like volume automation, except the clips were colored (not grayed out) and the lines were different colors as well. Next to this graphic was some text that definitely had the words "pitch" and "correct" in them.

 

Now, if this is just a dream I had, forgive me for rambling. However, is there a way to do this, though, if not in Logic Pro 9? Thanks!

Melodyne?

If you're dealing with notes that are just a little bit flat or sharp and there isn't much pitch drift to deal with then yes, you can automate logic's Pitch Shifter II for such duties.

 

Where the Melodyne products shine is in the ability to deal with pitch and drift separately, as well as tailor the formant correction where needed. And you can do global corrections (in percentages) with melodyne. So, lots more flexibilty with melodyne but some people are using Pitch Shifter II for spot corrections.

The only thing that resembles that description is Soundtrack Pro not Logic.

As an alternative suggestion, you could isolate the parts of the vocal that are a little pitchy on a duplicate track, install the pitch correction plug on that track, and set it up so that you're targeting only the problem notes. Or if you need to, separate the vocal into, say, two sets of duplicate tracks: one for regions that are only a little pitchy, and, another for regions that require more intensive treatment. Oh, and you're going to want to be sure that plugin delay compensation is set correctly (audio prefs). Even though it's a little bit of work (though really, it doesn't take that long to set up) it's the most conservative approach in which you're letting the plugin do the pitch correction automatically, without having to draw in any kind of pitch correction amount (which itself can be rather tedious to do).

I was able to draw something that looks like what you're describing (see below) - but still you can't "draw the pitch" in Logic. You'd need something like AutoTune's graphic mode, or Melodyne, to do this.

Awesome replies everyone - thanks so much!

 

Melodyne is foreign to me, but looks cool. I know this is a Logic Pro forum, but I figure I'll ask my dumb question here: does it work in tandem with Logic Pro like a plugin, or is it a separate program that requires crazy steps for integrating with Logic Pro?

 

Again, your replies are much appreciated!

Yes, and yes.

Melodyne works both as a plug-in with Logic and as a stand alone app. There's nothing difficult about using it as a stand alone. Simply open the app, click file then open then navigate to the logic folder that contains the track you want to edit. When finished editing, save as same file name back to same logic folder and next time you open that folder in logic, the edited track will load just like all the others.
