hello,
I don't know if we've already discussed this little problem.
I noticed that when using BIAB's tuning and/or tone correction options on reals tracks, there is a sort of portamento or glide.
for me it's very significant and it's noticeable when listening in BIAB or when exporting the track in audio in drag&drop, however it disappears when exporting the RT in midi...
am I the only one hearing this or is this already listed by P.G.
I tried to post 2 mp3 files of acoustic piano, but it was not possible ?
Thank you
phil

Hi Phil,

One way to post examples is to upload your files to a free cloud storage account like Dropbox, Box or Drive and then post a link to the file(s). Have you tried the "Fix Sour Notes" in the Audio Editor? If not, what PG Music tuning and tone correction options are you using?

In the 21 sec mp3 with corrections I can hear the sound you're mentioning. It almost sounds like somebody moving a pitch wheel while playing an electronic keyboard.

I also listened to the 43 sec mp3 without corrections and I did not hear any of the pitch wheel effect.

This may seem like a silly question but why was correction applied in the 21 sec mp3? I ask because based on the 43 sec mp3 example it doesn't seem any correction was needed.

I have not experienced the pitch wheel effect so I'm at a loss what to advise.

hello Jim,
Every time you start your song, BIAB can give a different interpretation if you don't freeze the tracks, sometimes it's exactly what you want and sometimes it's not.
I know there is other possibilities on a track to correct exactly the part that is problematic which works very fine (F7...).
I saw this tool as another possible correction of interpretation or a proposal...
I'm too much of a perfectionist, it's a big flaw °/;-)
BIAB adds these artifacts randomly and I just wanted to understand.
If I have time I will do 1 or 2 tests to see.
Thanks for your time
