Waves Plug-in for Vocals and Monophonic manual

The Note tool allows you to select a note or multiple notes in the Edit Window and perform various actions on anything within the selection. Select single notes by clicking them or select multiple notes by click-dragging in the Edit Window. Now you can edit the selected notes in the pitch correction curve using any of the correction parameters. In addition to these selection functions, each of the tools offer specialized graphical editing functions.

The Graphic Tools are:

Note Tool – With the Note tool you can select a single note by clicking on it, or a region of notes by click-dragging over the area. Selected notes can be moved to different targets within the correction grid. Point the mouse at the borders of a note and the cursor will change to a Trim tool icon, allowing you to extend or trim the length of a note. This tool is useful for fixing note transition points or fine-tuning segmentation and will be available only if there is no unvoiced section between the trimmed notes.

Zoom Tool – Select the Zoom tool and your cursor will become a magnifying glass with a “+” inside. When using the Zoom tool, click-drag to a desired area of the Edit to zoom in accordingly. The number of zoom-in stages that you make will be equal the amount of zoom-out stages needed to go back to full zoom.

Slice Tool – This tool allows you to separate a note into two or more notes, thus allowing you to drag a part of the note to a different pitch.

Glue Tool – Click on a note with the Glue tool it will connect to the next note. Both notes will become one selected note. If the next note is different, the clicked note will tune to its new mate. When there are no notes near the one clicked, no action will occur. If you have selected a range of notes, clicking with the Glue tool on any of the note segments will bring all notes within the selection to that target.

Pencil Tool – This tool allows you to draw your own pitch curve, overriding existing smoothing parameters.

Curve Tool – Click-dragging on the Curve tool allows you to move the selected pitch correction curve up or down in a continuous motion. If you want to create or correct a “slide” between notes while preserving all detail within the notes, you can click near the edge of the selection, enabling you to move the curve in diagonal manner. The corrected tune graph will interpolate with a smoothing factor related to the speed value.

Line Tool – This tool is similar to the Draw tool, but allows drawing straight lines by defining dots using a single click and ending the line with double click. This process overrides any smoothing parameters.

Navigation Tool – With this tool you can easily navigate through the entire Edit Window (up, down, left, right, diagonal, etc.)

The corrected tune graph is a “What You See Is What You Get” graph containing the smoothing derived from the specified Speed and/or Note Transition parameters (or the equivalent smoothing faders.) When the graph is constructed, the default correction parameters are always initially used.
