Hi - I ran Variaudio on a vocal today, and two things came up I didn’t understand I was hoping maybe someone could help out with please, both to do with the flattening dialog window (p. 292 of the manual):
I did not get the options for the algorithm (drop-down window) that are shown in the manual. It says the window will not open when timestretch is outside the range of 0.5 and 2. But I only used Segment and Pitch correction, no warping … so I couldn’t have time stretched, right?
Also, I didn’t get an option for “Formant Correction” which I read the manual as being unexpected.
Has anyone had this experience, or have any suggestions please?
Thanks, Grim. In the “Transpose” part of the manual, that picture w/ the dropdown menu of the different algorithms would have been perfect. In the VariAudio section of the manual, where none but one are available - IMO, not so much.
I wonder if at one time they actually planned to have multiple algorithms available? I remember a moderator saying a while back that the meat and potatos single algorithm available in VA was actually the best of all, including the Elastique options.
The thought occurred to me: for that very problematic word/note that is out of tune enough that VA can’t handle it - I wonder if multing just that bit out (after segmenting), then treating w/ the Elastique c’est Magnifique algorithm ( ) would give better results. Assuming of course singer is not available to re-sing the part.
Wouldn’t want to do that for the whole song - it would take so long that the style of music would hve changed by the time you’re done!
