Another Pitch shift Question

[eekamouse]

I have a song written that I am going to produce for a singer. We want to figure out the best key for her so initially I plan to track everything using kontakt 5 instrument tracks. Is there a short cut for transposing all the tracks at once or do I need to go in and do each one separately.

Thanks as usual

Do you want to transpose the MIDI or audio? Big difference. With MIDI you're going to have to transpose each track separately. There may be a way to transpose all tracks at once but that I don't know. But it's a simple operation: click on the track so all the MIDI notes are selected, right click and select event operations and then transpose and up pops a windowlet with the options for transposition. Then just to keep your wits about you make a note in the track notes box on how much you transposed. That way if you get interrupted you can see what you did. Cleaner than using postit notes (which is what I use).

I would suggest "MIDI Real Time Properties". Very quick and easy way to manipulate MIDI.

Gentleman thank you both. It is midi and I see how. Much appreciated,

But will that do all tracks at once?

Yes. The settings in the MIDI Real Time Properties window applies to all selected tracks.
You can also set the edit window to show MIDI Real Time Properties in the tracks, I guess they will follow groups, never tried.
