Subject: Cheats I use for Tuning the CS80 on Songs

Hi,

On my webpage at htpp://www.myspace.com/galaxiesmerge I have a tune
called "Begin the Journey". The low drone and the high strings are CS80.

Here's what I did:

1) I recorded the CS80 drone separately into audio tracks in Ableton
Live 7.0
2) I recorded the CS80 strings separately into audio tracks.

Background:
3) I recorded the (Arp 2600 from Way Out Ware) VST for the background
ambiance (sample-and-hold on the filter).
4) I used a Tassman Ultra-Analog for the arpeggio part.

Pitch Correction:

This was done using the Ableton for pitch shifting. A good explanation
video is on their site:

In the future, I plan to find a way to have automated real-time
pitch-correct because I think the timbre and overall playability of
the instrument is great. Not an easy problem to solve, but, solvable
with modern technology.

I hope you will find this useful.

Cheers!
