Copying and pasting several regions of Flex Pitch data will help create iterations of melodies and motifs that quickly spin into insanely creative territory. It can be used to greatly change the timbre and emotional feel of not only a vocal, but any other instrument that is put under its influence. Interesting and weird.įlex Pitch is not just a tool for out of tune singers. Artists to listen to for inspiration are Grimes, Fever Ray, and CocoRosie.

Scale Quantize - This will confine the note pitches to a specific scale Time Quantize - This takes notes and quantizes them to a grid, similar to MIDI notes in the Piano Roll editor

To use the inspector, simply select whatever notes you wish to edit, then choose one of the following actions: The inspector is used for changing the pitch and time of several notes at once, and the grid to the right of it is where notes are meticulously edited individually. The Audio Track Editor has an inspector on the left side, and the notes show in a grid on the right. To open the Audio Track Editor, simply double-click at the top of an audio region that is to be flexed. The Audio Track Editor is new to Logic Pro X, and is a wonderful way to do fine editing of Flex Pitch. Working with Flex Pitch in the Audio Track Editor Flex Pitch is pretty good at finding the pitches, and the correction is usually pretty good, but to get the job done properly, we are going to need to use the Audio Track Editor. Even with live recordings this can be done with good effect if the original vocal track is somewhat isolated.With Flex Pitch in the Main Window, we are offered very sweeping changes. I'd be surprised if you couldn't at least partially remove the offending sound in that note with these tools.Īs a last resort consider punching in a good vocal. Try playing with the vocal transformer, pitch shifter, and pitch correction FX. Logic Pro X also has a suite of vocal processing effects that may help to fix this note. Create the illusion of a good note with automation. Mute the bad part of the note and carefully apply some delay/reverb to the good part of the note to extend it, masking the mistake. This is not a likely fix but still try it - you can always undo! Try treating the wobble as a formant shift and adjusting it by dragging the lower-right hotspot vertically.

If you can split the note after the wobble without artifacts, you could then treat the wobble as pitch drift and straighten that out using the upper-right hotspot. If the wobble in the note is vibrato, try dragging the upper-mid hotspot vertically - this will straighten out the wobble.
