Hi all, I wanted to know does the latest pro version of Cubase have an automated way of correcting the pitch off a mixed track? I know you can manually shift by a semitone or fine tune by plus or minus 50%.
My use case is that I am asking a session musician to replicate a part from an old track, recorded on tape, or maybe taken from YouTube (because the original is rare, so I can’t buy the MP3). These can often be in-between pitches.
I want to make sure what I provide is 100% perfect pitch as I will build my new track around the recording the session musician records and don’t want that to be off.
First: It sounds like you have a complete mix, not stems of instruments. Tuning generally works on stems, not on complete mixes.
Second: If the stems are polyphonic, then you need the paid-for version of SpectraLayers to do polyphonic retuning. This is similar to how you’d do it in Melodyne with Direct Note Access and such.
If it’s a solo voice/instrument, in a stemp, you can use VariAudio to do it.
An alternative to SpectraLayers is a free tool called spleeter, which is a little finicky to get going, but which can separate out different instruments, and then, if they are solo, you can tune them with VariAudio.
I should have been clear it is polyphonic, in that it is a final mix.
So VariAudio would only be an option if the audio is NOT polyphonic? I’m guessing when you set the tune quantize to 100% this applies an automatic analysis and correction?
