After generating a RT blues harmonica track for a song's ending I found I wanted to insert an extra note at a higher pitch just before the last fade out note.

In the Audio Edit window I highlighted, cut and pasted the last note to the right a bit to give me a gap to insert the new note.
Then I copied the note before the last one, pasted it into the gap and with a little adjusting got it at the right beat.

Then I highlighted the inserted note, right clicked on it and used the Audio Effects>Pitch Shift to raise it to the right place on the musical scale to sound right.

It worked perfectly !
But I would like to know how to specify the right number of Semitones and or Cents in the Pitch Shift window to achieve the note I want.

How many of the above (Semitones and or Cents)do I need to enter to make a note a sharp or flat or to raise it up or down to the next note on the musical scale.
Keep in mind I play by ear and have very limited musicalogical knowledge, though I am good at making up long words.

Either a verrrrry simple explanation on using the Pitch Shift dialog box (the Help definitions are Geek to me) or a link would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and have a good one,
Carkins

+/-100 cents is one note (one semi-tone). A cent is the smallest incremental adjustment of a semi-tone - is 1/100 sharp or flat which ever way you're adjusting. Download a free pitch correction software - G-SNAP - it will explain more.

Carkins,

I usually use the key of C to count notes with when trying to "find" the note I want in a different key. I count the number of notes in C (From C note to desired note) and then apply that number to the key I am actually in. There are 12 notes in a scale, btw. Once you have determined the correct note in C, start with the actual key the song is in (EX: G) and start counting from the key note (G) to arrive at the note you need. It will be the same number of notes from G as it was in C.

Hope this made sense, lol.

hahahaha
me too

I had never really noticed the pitch shift plug before. We talk about Melodyne as a natural companion to RB, but there has been similar capability all along. Cool. Thanks for posting.

Carkins, If you have not studied the circle of fifths, it is worth the effort. It can be found on many sites. Wikipedia/circle of fifths is a good place to start. It will start to make sense why 12 notes can create so much beauty. E.L.C.
