HOW TO FIX PITCH OF PLATINUM NOTES MESSED UP FREE
You needed to get LAME so that Audacity would let you export to MP3 fromat, but the results were superb - an altered pitch, without altering the beats per minute!Īnyways, recently my corrections have been shockingly bad quality… and so I am gutted that I have to save as a huge WAV file and then use the free version of NCH’s “ Switch” to make the MP3.

So what I do is rip my CDs to an MP3s (or download the MP3s whatever), then change the pitch in Audacity (free software) using skill and judgement and a guitar correctly tuned to concert pitch, and then export to MP3 again. A quarter tone! So should it be higher in pitch, the G minor - or lower and F# minor? Which was the original key when they recorded it? Well, the second track, “Jumpin” is G# minor - and so’s the fifth track, “Watcha Doin Tonight?”, so I figured it might be a good bet that it was G minor. It turned out to be almost exactly between F#m and Gm. I bloody hate that.įor example, my wife noticed that on the Liberty X CD (Being Somebody, 2003, V2) the third track is out of standard pitch. Sometimes a piece of recorded music is slowed down or speeded up, and A4 is no longer 440Hz, and in fact is between the tone and the next semitone - in no man’s land. It is a standard, a benchmark, a LAW, taken as read - this is a given - except… You are not even supposed to care about this, you are not even supposed to know about this. There is even an international standard for this (ISO16:1975) - get it here.Really.Ĭoncert pitch is measured in Hertz or cycles per second, and since 1936, the note A above middle C is pegged at a frequency of 440Hz. It really is worth doing, and is a LOT easier than doing this stuff my ear.Īnd although that might sound difficult, it’s not. All you do is delete the original later, and remove the _pn to be good to go. It makes the mp3 file size jump to about double, but what a difference it makes! It doesn’t overwrite - it makes a new audio file adding _pn to the filename. It fixes the volume and audio graphs (clipping etc), and tweaks the whole track to the nearest proper pitch key. Now I have found Platinum Notes - a great bit of software. Eugh! I use to correct this by ear using Audacity, this can change the pitch yet keep the beats per minute the same - but the trouble with that is the preview is just the starting few seconds, and on some tracks the music proper doesn’t start for quite a while. I can listen to a couple of hours’ worth of stuff in D major for example.īut the thing I dislike the most is when a track is between keys - off pitch. That’s OK, and while I have done dozens of songs in my collection, I still have zillions of MP3s not done. It often means I have to figure out the key of the song or tune. I like playing guitar along with my hifi.
