Yes Yes I know melodyne is amazing, I've seen it in action but I like manually tuning the occasional bum note using a pitch shifter. Using melodyne or antares auto-tune, or tc helicon voicetone, would require me purchasing something lol Theres just sometimes where the last half of a note goes up or down and it's hard pinpointing by hear, so a graphical display of the pitch would be helpful. Just downloaded GSnap, doesn't seem to work correctly. The correcting is cutting in and out..

You know, if there is something bad about all this computer/DAW/digital audio mess is that it encourages people to "listen" with their eyes instead of their ears.

Train your ears man. If you can hear that there is something "wrong" with the pitch, then there is no reason why you can't tell by ear what's "wrong" with it, and by how much, give or take a cent or two.

It's easy, Phil. All ya gotta do is create a song that goes to #1 on the Billboard charts for two weeks or more. Every hack producer in the world will be trying to copy it. When they find out your song isn't smashed, they'll think they've discovered the "new" formula, and within 6 months, 42 of the top 50 songs will have RMS levels ~ -16dBFS RMS.

:cool:

That's crazy talk Glen. Nothing that isn't smashed would ever make it to #1
on any chart. Haven't you heard? People like confused clutters of sounds, also
known in this modern day as "popular music."

You'd want to keep those wacky ideas to yourself before you get burned at
the stake for being a madman :D

By the way, I just learned how to type the # key on a mac as a result of
replying to your message (you think they'd mark it on the keyboard but no),
so thanks :D
 
I can hear when a pitch is flat or sharp. That's not the issue. I'm a trained vocalist and I don't have much time at home to record because of family noise and a tight schedule in which to lay tracks down. So when I have time to record I don't really have the time to retake over and over. And the pitches I'm concerned with are not ones that the entire word is on one note and is the same wrong pitch across, it's notes where I perhaps lose breath support halfway through a word that has a slide down and when you try to pitch shift the whole word, it will make the rest of what's in tune, go out of tune so a graphical pitch shift would be helpful. Most of you guys are just goofing off here. I'm done with this thread.

I assumed the question was answered when we said train your ears and do it
naturally. We've given you all the good advice you needed for what you asked.
Now you're telling us about the recording situations. Honestly I'd suggest
working out THAT problem before looking for a software substitute, as a
natural recording is unrivaled.
 
Why? It appears to me that enough businesses have been deep sixed by geek heads and their revolutionary ideas! I'm not against computer technology, it has revolutionized the world and benefitted millions, but when it starts replacing talent, that's where I get off! It started with kireoki(disregard spelling). What's next, Guitars that play themselves? Oh, sorry. Isn't that midi?
 
To answer the original question:

G-snap will do exactly what you seek if you turn off the pitch correction. It is free.


To add to that:
If you can't tell it is wrong with your ears, you really should not fix it.
