DeepAudio: Advanced Editing Techniques
Here follow instructions for various types of advanced editing that can be performed with the DeepAudio
module’s tools. These are separated into main categories like Pitch, Rhythm, Unpitched Sound and Noise
Removal. This should be read after reading
DeepRemix: Essential Step-By-Step Editing Instructions
. A
detailed description of the tools mentioned below can be found in
DeepAudio: Audioshop & Other Tools
.
Pitch
•
Use Audioshop’s Draw Pitch Tool to draw the pitch of a note by clicking & dragging over it, moving
the mouse pointer up/down to smoothly increase/decrease the pitch with respect to time.
o
Tip: Use this to correct or enhance a performance by adding or editing slides/portamentos
and vibrato.
o
Tip: When editing the pitches of notes connected by a slide, use this to adjust the slide so
that it continues to connect them in a natural fashion.
•
Use the Pitch Mapper RipScript, available from the Tools/RipScripts>Mappers submenu, to make
a selection of notes slide up or down by as a much as an octave in pitch or choose from the other
available presets to apply a more complicated contour.
•
Use Audioshop’s Apply Pattern Tool to add vibrato whose speed and amplitude/strength varies
with time:
1.
Choose the Sine pattern and Apply to Pitch;
2.
Set the amplitude/strength of the vibrato by clicking & dragging the slider button to
specify the number of semitones by which the pitch should vary;
3.
Set the speed of the vibrato by clicking & dragging the slider button to specify the Period
in seconds;
4.
Click & drag over part or all of the note to apply the vibrato.
▪
Tip: Create a vibrato of growing intensity by applying the sine pattern multiple
times across the same note, each time increasing the amplitude (e.g. from 0.2 to
0.3 and then to 0.4 semitones). If necessary, use Audioshop’s Draw Pitch Tool to
smooth out the transitions between each vibrato.
▪
Tip: Make the vibrato more realistic by also applying the sine pattern to the
volume of the note. For this, the amplitude is in decibels (dB).
•
Use Audioshop’s Clone Pitch/Sound Tool to clone pitch changes such as vibrato and slides from
one note to another:
1.
Ensure that only Pitch Changes is selected,
2.
X
/Ctrl-click on a note at the start of the vibrato or other pitch variation you’d like to
clone,
3.
Click & drag over the other note to apply the pitch variation to it.
