Learn to use Cubase's very audio pitch correction to analyze vocals, apply automatic or manual correction, and refine pitch curves, formants, and warp for natural-sounding tracks.

Learn how to add artificial harmonies in Cubase, including generating soprano and alto voices, recording harmonies, and using audio tools to adjust pitch, alignment, and mixing.

Prepare your mix by cleaning up tracks, color coding drums and harmonies, avoiding clipping, and balancing levels; export audio mix down in WAV 44.1/16 bit to prevent zero dB peaks.

Balance the mix by setting vocal levels first, then kick, bass, snare, and harmonies, use reference tracks to guide levels, avoid clipping with a master limiter, and widen strings.

Balance your track by analyzing frequencies with Cubase's frequency EQ. Use a parametric EQ to cut lows and boost vocal clarity with high shelf, avoiding masking across fundamentals and harmonics.
