Ableton Forum

Hi to all live users. I have been using live since two years. It's certainly more robust, more flexible & perhaps the most powerfull DAW ever made.
I have a problem in correcting vocal pitch problems. I want to know is there any way to correct vocal errors by manipulating wave forms or not? Sometimes ther are singers whose recorded voice found to be distuned in some places.
Your kind suggestion in this regard will be highly apprciated.
Thanking you.

you can try it manually from the clip's transpose automation in complex pro mode. But it's hard to fix it in Live itself. I suggest you to use additional software like Celemony Melodyne. It is quiet nice to fix that. it has also vst plugin to use in Live's desired track..

Thanks for your valuable suggestion dear friend. I will check this out

How is Live 8 with vocal recordings anyways? Does it sound good?

Sounds as good as the recorded source...

Thats where you need to focus;

A decent microphone and a dedicated mic pre-amp would be a must for those serious about vocal recording.

Sort this out and any recorded material should be easy to give a final polish with lives plug-ins.

If you are having a sound proof room, you should use a condenser microphone & if you are recording in an open room you should use dynamic microphones like sm57/58 which records only the sound nearest to the microphone and above all you must use a sound interface with ASIO driver. Sound recording is not the core thing of live as sound may be recorded in any good software sequencer. What sets aside live is it's flexibility, superb composing possibility and robustness. Thats all.

Why don't you sing until it sounds good?
If there is no talent there, why even try to fix it?

"talent" - you mean 12 hours every day of hard work and focus, then one hour every week performing for people? Or do you mean: "I came out of the womb and even I didnt know how I was able to play piano".
The latter has never and will never happen;)

Anyway, even when it's being overused on purpose as effect, pitch correction is really cool to have.
i go to cubase or logic or reason to do melodyne type stuff.
