Pitch Manipulation – Corrective and Creative

December 9, 2011 · Posted in Uncategorized

Pitch is the sole subject of Samplecraze Pitch Manipulation, the company’s latest addition to the production video tutorial series.

In this new video tutorial, you will learn all about pitch — what it is, how to define it, how to reference it, and more. The more than 50-minute-long video is staggered in stages, so that the more experienced musician or producer or engineer can skip ahead to the sections that he or she wants to learn more about, rather than sit through the basics that he or she already knows.

Samplecraze notes that it tried to provide as much information as possible so that you can experiment using the same settings and processes. So that the priciples and techniques will translate across to your system, the tutorial video cites examples for software such as Propellerhead ReCycle, Antares AutoTune, Steinberg Cubase, Voxengo Span, and Sony Creative Software Sound Forge.

The Pitch Manipulation video contains the following subject material:

What is pitch and how do we create it?
What are cycles, amplitude, wavelength, and timeline?
How is frequency defined?
What is Hertz?
What are time stretching and time compression?
What is a spectrum analyzer and how do you use it to reference pitch?
