So, since I don't have the vocal range I used to, how can I record and then change the key up to the key of the original song? Also, any tips on how to get autoharmonies not to sound so "robotic" would be appreciated! Thanks - Bernie




I usually adjust the key of the song to my range rather than adjusting my vocal track. This way you can actually sing to the song in the proper key. I haven't looked at Powertracks in a while, but, what you are looking for is "pitch shifting". I'm sure there is a button somewhere to accomplish this. Keep in mind you dont want to adjust too far or you will "hear" issues.

By the way, if it is just the single high E or F that you need to hit in one part, then Melodyne is definitly the answer. Is it cheating?? Not by my definition!

Autoharmonies sounding robotic? The only thing I have seen to begin to solve this is to invest lots of $$. I think some of the newer hardware solutions get it best, but at a cost. Other than that, try to just keep it very simple and subtle, a little goes a long way.
