Vocally Correct/Auto-tune a "Choir"

[elton123]

Melodyne editor should work fine.

For me personally I will "tweak" until I am burned out on "tweaking" then I'll say, "Good enough!", and then I will crack open a beer or something

As its been said excellence is in the details, but dont let the details drive you crazy

I'd do it over, because otherwise I'd spend the rest of my life explaining, making excuses and apologizing for it. Once it is on the CD, there is no taking it back.

I like tracking groups multiple times (up to 10, but rarely) and then print the tracks to a stereo track. I've never been satisfied with augmenting a small group, it doesn't sound natural to me.

Are they sharp in all 6 takes?? To me group singing sounds a lot more "real" when not everyone is on key. But if a choir is what you were going for and it sounds like crap, then just do it again. The pain in the ass it will be to get all 5 people back will be much less than the pain in the ass it will be to try to fix that, and then have to hear it EVERY time you hear the song.

Good point.

That reminds me, you can download the Melodyne demo plugin for free and you can print it to tracks too (since you said you didnt have any tuning software at home)

Is "beer" mentioned anywhere in the lyric? If it is, don't bother tuning the vocals.

[mdoelger]

Perhaps just split the audio for just that phrase and pitch shift this region manually?

Might work well.

Oo good call on the melodyne demo. I'll try that first before calling everyone back in.

It's just 1 word, but each time it was sharp (resulting in 6 sharp takes for the first word). I guess I could also slice and dice some of the earlier takes and use those to replace that first word or phrase.

Either way, thanks guys, ya'll are the best!
