I find the Slice edit mode (or even pitch edit, which also lets you stretch/shrink time) idea for vocal timing issues.RobC wrote: ↑01 Mar 2023I suck at trying to easily and quickly adjust timing mistakes on vocals.
All I would need is to click a start and end point, then drag and maybe stretch a bit.
Of course, we can cut a new clip, or maybe do it even in comp mode, and then stretch ~ but a select, drag, stretch, done - would be much faster. Unless I missed something. I have R12.
The key is to learning what works (sounds natural) and how to apply that to the tools at hand.
Works great for matching a harmony part to the lead when it doesn't end at the correct place, as well as the more obvious timing issues at the start of words/phrases.
I also find it handy to first fist the most glaring issues, then wait before going further. Often I find that after fixing the obvious stuff, the rest is just fine. This approach not only saves me production time, but also ensures I don't "over polish" stuff just so it looks nice and tidy on the grid…
