Brian: The option to work with larger segments is the second one in the F4 list. That's the one you'll need to hit enter on. If the project changes key, you will just select the segment in the area where the new key applies and take all the steps I mentioned before. Good luck.

I was hoping you would be the one who wrote me back since you cleared up some things for me before... So let me get this straight... There is an option in the f4 dialog that says to work on a larger section of audio. I would chooose this option after pressing f4 once and hitting enter on option 1 in that dialog is that correct? Now, what about later in the song if there is a key change... How does that work if it stared in c and went to C sharp? Thank you Charles!

You can select a longer segment, I do not know if you can go ahead and select the whole track, and go through the same motions of bouncing to a clip and then creating the V-Vocal clip. Once, V-Vocal opens, you need to press F4 and select the option to work on a larger segment of audio. Then just press F6 to move to the plot and use alt-enter to select the whole segment. After that, you can press F4 and arrow down to the option for a list of scales. Once you have selected C major for example, you can then go through the several options with your tab key. To perform the correction, you just press the letter C. If you do not like the result, you can undo the correction by pressing control-z. Yes, you need to create a V-Vocal clip per every segment of audio you want to work on. Also remember, that V-Vocal is not a destructive effect, so you can remove it through the clips view.

I read everything in the CakeTalking tutorial on v vocal and I understand everything but one thing. Let's say I want to instead of correcting pitches manually, I want to use the autocorrect feature to correct maybe an entire v vocal clip. Let's say the song is in the key of C... I understand how to set it to a particular scale, but how do I set v vocal to audo correct the v vocal clip to a particular key like in my example if the song is in C... How do I close the v vocal editer? ALso, let's say there is more vocal editing that nees to be done on another part of the song, do you go through the same process of selecting the audio in the track and doing all of that or since I've already opened the v vocal editer once, are there other steps that need to be performed? Those are the only things that weren't clear to me in the tutorial... Thanks, Brian
