Markisflippinsweet Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 In a vocal channel strip, where should one normally place a pitch correction insert? I think it would be first, but it seems as though the artifacts of it could be amplified from the compression coming afterwards... I'm not sure...

redlogic Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 When I've used it, it was always in the first slot and I've never had any problems with artifacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markisflippinsweet Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Same place for a doubler? I thought about sending my doubler to a stereo bus that all vocal tracks were routed to, but something just seems wrong about that... Same thing about sending all vocal tracks to the same compressor/EQ on a bus. I feel as though it will not be done properly (mainly compression).

ski Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 With this kind of stuff there is no right and wrong. There is only what's appropriate for your particular application. • If you have a reasonably clean vocal track, put it first. • If you have to correctively hipass filter, de-ess, or de-pop the vocal (or similar), put it after that processing. • If you want only the final vocal sound (compressed, EQ'd, whatever) to be pitch-corrected, put it last.

tristancalvaire Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Attending a Melodyne product pitch at a local college, the guy said that many people compress beforehand so that Melodyne can easily separate notes, though that he personally compressed after instead.

David Nahmani Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I was going to add my input but ski summed it up perfectly IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
