I'm putting together a sound font, and am having a hard time getting everything in pitch. It's a bluegrass sound font, and I am taking samples from the dry tracks of a project. The problem is that the mando chops are just a little out of tune.
Does any one know of a good wave editor for analyzing frequency, so I can pull in back into pitch by just a few cents? |

What I need to do is tell what the root pitch of a sample is so I can pitch shift it to get it in tune with everything else.
The problem is that a mandolin chop doesn’t have very much pitch to it. It's mainly a percussive sound. It's used in blue grass music to fill it the function of the snare drum in most other western music (the dog house bass fills in the kick sound)
Just by ear it's hard to tell where the pitch is, but when you play it with something else, you can tell it's wrong.
I was hoping to find a program that could do a detailed spectral analysis, so I could tell how many cents out the sample is. Cool Edit has a very nice one, but they were sold to Adobe, and now that software is out of my price range. (I foolishly lost that software when upgrading my computer) Audacity is pretty good, and I think it will work for my needs. It does have the spectral view, but I can't figure out how to zoom vertically in that mode.
