Vocal Sample Pitch & Harmony Techniques

Get access to all of our courses with a student membership, or purchase this individual course by clicking "Enroll" above.

In these videos, we'll go over various techniques for manipulating pitch and adding harmonies using native Ableton tools and features. One of the great things about Ableton is the "immediacy" of the interface. Changing the pitch of any audio clip is just a click away at any time. Adding more interesting embellishments like harmonies and pitch glides is also just a few clicks away. There's no need to buy expensive plugins, wait for other applications to load, export and import additional files, when you can accomplish the same things directly in Ableton Live.

Lesson topics include:

  • Introduction and Example Vocal Sample
  • Transposition Modulation
  • Duplicate and Transpose
  • Simpler Glide Pitch
  • Vocoder Pitch Tracking and External Input
