LPX Flex Pitch "breaks" the sound

Recommended Posts

I was very excited about the Flex Pitch feature until I found this bug. When you apply flex pitch on an audio region it all sound good but when you start moving one note up or down than some other notes tend to break in a very noticeable way, by "break" I mean like when you cut an audio sample and connect it to another sample uncorrectly you get this "popping" sound in between the 2 samples, so that's kinda how it sounds, the strange thing is that editing one note affects other notes (that sounded perfectly fine before).

Another issue I just found is that words with the letter "F" are messed up when tuning them.

Unfortunately Flex Pitch seems unusable for me.

 

Anybody else experienced this? Am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks

I haven't had that problem specifically but I can say that I've had all sorts of weird issues with LPX. Flex pitch seems to be working quite well when I'm editing, no artifacts or obvious tuning issues but I bounced an edited track and it sounded terrible. Super auto-tunish style pops and glitches. The track definitely sounded different than when I edited it. I played the original and bounced tracks simultaneously and there was an awful phasing issue between the two tracks. After about five minutes of muting/un-muting and maybe restarting logic, it went away. I was hoping flex pitch would be a melodyne alternative but no such luck.

Yes back to melodyne i go, logic X flex pitch just sounds horrible to me.., its ok for some vocals but no way near as good as melodyne, flex pitch is very disappointing for me.., i just hope its not going to be another 4 years of waiting waiting waiting waiting for apple to fix and get flex pitch up to melodyne standards!.

:| Yea it's really bad and Mellodyne isn't much better, but better than this. Completely unusable for changing notes. Probably it's design was just meant for tuning and not transposition. :(

Yes, it's meant for fine-tuning bad notes in audio. For transposition you better use the pitch machine in the Sample editor, or whatever the new name in Logic X is. The difference is that in the sample editor the editing is destructive.

I cannot confirm that it is complete weired. Logic flex works good for me. I use it for small corrections and it does it well.

 

NB.

The only real life option to have a perfect phase is to make manual cuts for timing corrections and sing in tune for pitch. Every plugin will always do weired things at a certain point. This is the moment where you can also get creative :-)
