Brian:
When you move to the plot, it shows you the pitch and it also gives you a 
certain number of cents.  So, you will see something like C shart plus 30 
cents.  The normal range for every note is 50 cents below it up to 50 cents 
above it.  So, for C natural for example, the normal range is from B plus 50 
cents, up to C plus 50 cents.  Any thing below B plus 50 cents is closer to B 
natural and everything above C plus 50 cents is closer to C sharp.

Okay,  It's not doing it just right with the autocorrect function.  SOme sounds 
fine but not all.  Can you explain the pitch values when manipulating pitches 
manually?  That's kind of confusing.  Thanks,
Brian

  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.

  Thank you Charles.  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!

    Brian:
    I believe that if you just want to use the autocorrection feature on 
V-Vocal, you are not limited to three measures of audio.  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.

    Hello,
    I've got some vocal tracks that need some minor vocal editing to them.  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
