What is Pitch Correction?
Pitch Correction is the method of putting
out of tune vocalists and instruments into tune with or without
any noticeable artifacts. It’s been an indispensible tool
in the recording industry over the last ten years making vocalists
sound significantly better in the studio than on the stage. Learn
the powers of pitch correction and their wide applications.
We cover in depth the three main usies of pitch correction:
1. To make a bad singer sound good
2. To tighten up a good singer’s vocals and give it a cleaner sound
3. To change the sound of the vocals, change a melody, or to create artificial harmonies
Why Do I Need It?
With the great advances in technology that have come
about, having an out of tune vocal on your record or demo, just screams
'AMATEUR'. Now you no longer have to ruin an otherwise great performance
because of a few out of tune notes.
Learn to master the vocal tools used by todays top
hitmaking producers
and artists.
Remember, it's ultimately the vocal that will sell
your song. Make sure that you are in control of what your vocals
sound like.
This class will show you how to create hit making
vocals, everytime!

Audio Samples
Artist: Shellece | Song: "A Way Out"
(1) Before Pitch Correction:
- Clip (1) would pass most people's ears as a good, double-tracked vocal take. The artist is a talented singer and perfoms live without the help of vocal tuning to a satisfied audience. But without tuning this song simply has no chance of recieveing popular radio play
(2) After Pitch Correction:
- Clip (2) has pitch correction applied. To the casual listener, the vocals do not even register as a double track but rather as a very full sounding single take. This is one of the goals of vocal production in popular music
(3) After Artificial Harmonies Added:
- Clip (3) becomes a more complex and full sounding hook. The original takes are shifted to notes at specific intervals to create a chorus effect unmatched by any automatic vocal plug-ins. While not always a true replacement for harmonies actually sung by the vocalist, they can also be used as guides for the vocalist to emulate.
CAN YOU HEAR THE DIFFERENCE?
If you can, and you want to learn how to do this to your vocal productions, then this class is for you. If you can't hear the difference, your ears are broken, and you are probably in the wrong field. Don't quit your day job.
