How to tune?

[fil_mac]

Good morning.
I'm recording one chorus for the first time and i'm having some problems to tune the notes. What plug-in should i use for that and how to use it? My problem is that i try to use the pitch shift but it doesn't anything to the track (nothing is changed). A friend of mine allowed me tu use his laptop that has the nuendo with a lot of fantastic plug-ings for tunning and i'm able to tune the voices there - but is not practical to work that way, specialy because i feel that there must be one easyer way - i'm sure pro-tools must have one plug in included that allows me to tune my tracks- can u hel me?

By the way - i have the Mbox 2 Factory plug-ins.

Are you trying to tune the recorded material or trying to tune while recording ?

In the first case you can use the AudioSuite pitch tool in ProTools. If you have ProTools 8 you can also use Elastic Pitch.

In the second case you need a third party plugin like AutoTune.

I'm editing, so i'm trying to tune the recorded files. My problem is that the AudioSuite pitch doens't do anythis to the files - or i don't know how to work with it. (i'm selecting the section i want to tune, and than i go to the Audiosuite and adjust them note, but when i render i cant see any diference in the track - just the name was changed, but not the sound - no matter how big is the tune adjust i do) Could be something wrong with my pitch tool?

Haha,
Dude you posted this twice and I responded to the other one with the same thing!
Spot on Chris.

Are you adjusting by semitones??
There is a preview button on the bottom left hand corner,
So you can pre-listen to any adjustments before click process to confirm.

Digi's pitch shifter plugins are terrible for tuning. Melodyne is the best. Elastic Pitch(PT8) is okay for fixing a spot here and there, but not for a whole track.

I've had good luck using the Digi plug if you need to manually adjust an occasional note by a few cents.

Also,, mentioned above, AUTO TUNE works really well! I've only used it for short segments, but it sounds great and is very easy to use.

Of course...unless you over do it and end up sounding like T-Paine, or Cher. ewwwww
