yeah, that's the last version of this. it'll be coming down in the next few hours, as i get the vocal melody in.

so, i need to figure out how to use melodyne, next. i've never pitch shifted my own voice (i've never had to), but i did use some more crude methods to modify sean's voice back in the day. that's not really the goal, though...

what i want to do is convert the vocal melody line into a synthesizer part, then vocode it back into the vocal part. i suppose i could write it out, but because i'm not the best singer i'm hoping it will let me microtone it precisely. that is to say, that i'm really looking for the audio to midi capability in order to ensure the vocoder is NOT in tune. i know, i'm always overcomplicating things, but i wouldn't be me if i just did it the easy way.

right now, the goal is to leave the synthesized section in the instrumental version.

first, i need to actually get the vocal melody in...

i'm going to have to play with this, but i think it should be possible to convert it to raw frequency.
