Are you a songwriter? Do you love to play music? Are you in a band? Well, there are a number of ways to get your songs recorded and out in the marketplaceāor make copies for you and your friends. In the past, musicians polished their material over and over, until it was radio-worthy. Then they went into a professional studio to cut a demo or an album. Then, in a few years, there was an explosion of small home recording devices that could be purchased for a reasonable price. The profusion of material that was generated from this development was astounding. Now, in the next generation of the home recording saga, we have stepped into the Digital Age. Anyone with a computer, a bit of recording software, a USB interface, an instrument, and some patient ingenuity can make a recording that would border on professional quality. In this free Logic Pro tutorial, you will learn how to use Logic Pro to correct the vocal pitch on your recorded tracks. Our expert will demonstrate how to use the Auto-Tune and vocal transformer features of this digital audio workstation. You will also learn how to edit the pitch of multiple tracks by using the "robotize" setting, as well as how to add reverb to vocal and instrument tracks.
"Diving deeper into Melodyne bridge, we're going to transfer some files into Melodyne. So to do that you want to make sure you align what track you want it to go to within Melodynes' arrange window. So if you're doing multiple tracks, you want to make sure that track one is track one, track two is track two, and so forth. Now once you've gone in you hit transfer it'll play in real time and it will transfer the audio that is going over into Melodyne. Now that it's in Melodyne, you're viewing it in your arrange window. If you want to view the edit window you can open it up and you'll see the actual notes here. So now you can have as many tracks as you need or want within Melodyne, just by having it transfer once all at the same time with the Melodyne bridge. So you could technically transfer sixteen files all to sixteen new files in Melodyne at the same time. Which gives you a lot of other time to figure out what you're going to do once you get it into the tuning program: and how you want to work with it, and things like that. So Melodyne bridge is very convenient in taking multiple files and transferring them into Melodyne so that you can tune many things at once."
