This document, describes how to use V-vocal. Note: in order to do this, you will also need to have downloaded the accompanying V-Vocal.hsc set. for V-Vocal. The set was created by Jason Dacent, and Phil Muir. To use V-Vocal follow these steps:

• 1: Select the track that you want to process with V-Vocal.
• 2: Select the time range you want to process with f9 and f10.
• 3: Create a V-Vocal clip by pressing shift v.
• 4: You have to select the clip to process again from within the V-Vocal window. Do this by pressing control a.
• 5: Make sure the pitch correct mode is selected bye pressing 1 on the top row of the pc keyboard.

Note: there are 4 tabs in v-vocal. They are: pitch which, can be accessed with the keystroke, number 1 dynamics, which, can be accessed with the keystroke number 2, time which, is accessed with number 3, and formant which, is accessed with number 4 on the top numbers row on the keyboard.

• 6: Turn the scale function on with control alt Shift s.
• 7: Set the scale type to Major by pressing shift windows m, or minor by pressing alt windows m. Major is selected when you first open the V-Vocal window.
• 8: Select the rout note of the scale by doing the following: select notes c through g with control 1 through control 8, Select notes g#through b with shift 1 through shift 4.
• 9: Correct the pitch by pressing alt shift p.
• 10: Finally, close the V-Vocal window by pressing alt f4.

We have also created hot spots for sliders.
