Smooth out Pitch?
OK, Im hoping this is relatively straight forward… but it’s to do with sound, which means it probably isn’t.
I have a recorded voiceover, and its fine- no distorted peaking, all within range. However at the beginning there are one or two moments where the pitch spikes a little high- I need the whole thing to sound more neutral and less excited. This is purely a fussy intonation thing.Is there a way of sort of keyframing pitch control to reduce the pitch a bit? Ive tried FCPs Apple-AUPicth and it seems to distort the bits in question for some reason.
I would mess around with some other tools, but have no time and prefer sleep to most options right now.
I have at my disposal:
FCP 7
Soundtrack Pro
Sound Studio
Garage Band (you never know….)I have access to a mac with Logic if that’s REALY necessary. The audio is 32bit AIFF btw. Incidentally, I am NOT good with sound stuff- its not my department at all! So unless its a pretty straight forward solution please leave details like ‘click the red button thingy and then press the green one”. Cheers 😀
Also a re-record isn’t really an option at this point 🙂

Firstly FCP needs 16 or 24 bit files not 32bit.
The sort of fine pitch control that you seem to want is not available with the software you have available. As a sound post person, I also don’t think changing pitch within words will really change performance intonation. It is more likely to sound fake.
If you want to try then I suggest finding someone with ProTools or Fairlight with pitch control software like Pitch N Time, MPEX3 or iZotope RX2.
