Creating a harmony track from orginal????

[choctaw]

I don't want to have everybody tell me to read the manual......cause I have been reading manuals for years on Cubase and it comes to me in a very hard leaning curve.

I was wondering if I recorded a voice track.......can I make a copy track of it, and somehow move the pitch up an octive and make the playback sound like a person singing harmony........if so that would work with twin guitars etc.
Just wondering.

yeah, u can do a pitch shift...just highlight the audio you want shifted then go up to the top and go to audio...process...pitch shift

although to do it like that is never a good idea, its always best to do what you can with actual recordings before going into editing...basically u want to edit as little as possible

record your part then when finished make sure its highlighted by clicking on it, then press CTRL and D and this will duplicate it, you can then drag it onto another audio track. to pitch shift it you will need a pitch shifting plugin such as autotune set as an effect on this track.

in all my years of using cubase i had never noticed that feature until you just mentioned it....probably because i've always used a plugin....but your right!!!

Cubase...does it all. Well most everything.........

Thanks for your quick response.......I will be looking into the pitch-shift you have told me about.

PS: Wonder if Yamaha since they own Steinburg now will be coming out with some what of a neat controler for Cubase. Not the 01x with mLAN system which some say does not perform that well, but some open hardware that works as other DAW controls do.

Just wanted to add this. Although you can pitch-shift to your heart's content in Cubase, I find that anything more than 2-3 steps starts to show artifacts. So, this wouldn't be ideal, if you want things to sound natural. Best would be to actually double-track and do it right in the recording.

Ohh sure I can sing an octave over my highest note. Doesn't everyone have a 5 octave range???

Yeah you can pitch-shift an octave, but it will only be good as an effect, but not real life-like. If you need to go a full octave, and can't do it yourself, get a back-up singer (That's what they're best at...singing the crap we don't want to, or can't ).
