Welcome back to another Ohmlab tutorial.
Today we're going to be touching on Auto Tuning and Pitch Correction. We've got a few questions
recently on how to do it, specifically in Logic, we're just going to show you with a
basic native plug in, a stock plug in that comes with the DAW as we feel it probably
translates easiest to whatever DAW you're using and their native plug in. Alright ?
So again, you can follow along with pretty much any DAW and we're going to be working
with a short snippet of audio, to make things easier, we simply grabbed a short little ditty
from the user Klankbeeld at freesounds.org singing "I'm Sorry" and we felt that it was
pretty fitting if we're going to be playing a sample again and again in your ears, then
we might as well apologise in the process. So without further ado, we're just going to
play this really quick so you get an idea what it sounds like.
OK so just out of tune enough to have some adjustments made and for them to be noticeable.
So here we'll just drop down in our plug in menu and grab the Pitch Correction tool. And
its really quite simple to set up, there are very little things to have to manage on a
very basic level with Pitch Correction, so we're just going to cover the very basics
to get you started and we'll probably touch on this very topic again in the very nearfuture,
get more indepth for some rather specific techniques and workflows but just to get you
started, we're going to start with our response time all the way down to zero and that's going
to make the effect of the Pitch Correction a lot more dramatic and noticeable, ok, we'll
show you an A B comparision later.
And detuning, lets go ahead and like maybe detune it half way between the middle point
and the zero and max.
And as with the faster response time with greater detuning comes a more dramatic effect
so again, it's more readily noticeable.
So we're just going to play this back, the last parameter that we really need to dial
in to get this going is a scale so the tool knows exactly what it is correcting, the vocals,
too, What its supposed to match up. And of course for you its going to based upon what
ever project you're working on of course, so let's just go ahead and listen to a few
options as this plays through so you get a good idea of whats happening.
OK and you'll see a few things are happening here, these bypass features are being used
to create the boundaries of the different scales we're flipping through and if you'd
like to hear a variation on these settings, let's go ahead and turn the response time
up by quite a bit and we'll bring our detuning down to zero so there's actually no detuning
present and it's going to ease into these changes, you know, and much like making a
compressor a little smoother, you notice the changes a little bit less. And of course its
pretty noticeable here because we're forcing it into a scale that it wasn't supposed to
be in but again this is just a basic low level introduction into Pitch Correction and Auto
Tuning for vocals. Again you just set your Response Time, the more apparent you want
the effect to be, the more dramatic, the fast response time you should be using. The same
goes for detuning, the more noticeable you want it be the more that you know Mr Robot
kind of effect you want more detuning. OKand then you just want to make sure your
Scale is matched up to your Project and away you go.
And that's it. Again we'll probably touch on this in a future tutorial, not too distant
future, hopefully, so if you have specific requests within that area of learning please
let us know, shoot us a comment and leave it below in the feed or visit one of our social

As always we hope this helps, we hope that it made some sense and that you can put it
use in your very next project and we thank you for swinging by. Cheers
