Fixing the pitch of vocals/Adding a backing chorus to vocals (Vocal Tool Box)
The Vocal Tool Box
The term Vocal Tool Box is used to describe a group of effects that are used on recorded vocal tracks to fix incorrect pitches and to
automatically apply a backing chorus. When compared with guitars, pianos, and other musical instruments, the human voice
generally produces a relatively unstable tone. And when recording unprepared vocalists, this can often lead to considerable
difficulties in the form of notes sung out of tune and poor sound quality.
Even if you have recorded a skilled vocalist, however, applying a backing chorus can further enhance the level of the overall
performance. When properly used, the BR-1600CD’s Vocal Tool Box will help to ensure that your vocal tracks will always sound great.
Makeup of the Vocal Tool Box
The following two types of effects make up the BR-1600CD’s Vocal Tool Box.
●
Pitch Correction
This effect automatically fixes incorrect pitches in solo vocal tracks. Specifically, it detects incorrect pitches within (50 cents and
adjusts them to the correct pitch in real time and in units of semitones.
●
Harmony Sequence
In order to apply a simple backing chorus, this effect creates a three-piece harmony by modifying the pitch of the original solo
vocal track. Furthermore, the harmony pitches are automatically created in accordance with the chord sequence specified for your
rhythm arrangement (p. 190).
Both of these effects are intended for use with the playback of recorded audio tracks and cannot be used on input sources.
The Vocal Tool Box and audio tracks are connected as shown below.
