The Enhance Timing plug-in offers two parameters: The Intensity control determines
the amount of timing enhancement. Audio transients that don’t fall on the grid
divisions (determined by the value chosen in the Grid menu) are corrected.
The Grid pop-up menu allows you to choose between several grid divisions. As
described above, the grid divisions serve as reference points for the timing correction
process.
The Enhance Timing plug-in is designed to “tighten up” loose playing (of recorded
audio) in a production. It can be used on a variety of material, and works in realtime.
Obviously, this type of real-time quantization has some limitations. It will not work well
on recordings of performances that have been played too far off the beat. The same is
true for very complex, layered drum tracks. It will provide noticeable timing
improvements on reasonably tight percussive and melodic material played in an eighth
and quarter note feel. If a large amount of timing correction is needed and transients
are shifted too far, you may notice a number of audio artefacts, so try to strike the
balance between sound quality and timing enhancement.
Important: For technical reasons, the Enhance Timing plug-in only works on audio
tracks and must be inserted in the top Insert slot.
As a tip for triplets, try the 1/12 note setting for played 8th note triplets.
Pitch Correction
The Pitch Correction plug-in features the additional Reference Pitch parameter, which
enhances the accuracy of the plug-in.
It is often the case that the intonation of a vocal line is slightly sharp or flat throughout
an entire song. The Reference Pitch parameter addresses this issue at the input of the
pitch detection process. Set the Reference Pitch to reflect the constant pitch deviation
in cent values. This allows the pitch correction to perform more accurately.
The Correction Amount meter display has also been improved: there is an additional
red marker that indicates the average correction amount over a longer time period.
There is also a small graphical change: The Use Global Tuning button was moved from
the right to the left side of the interface.
