Thanks for confirming the "sounds off" and "falls into place" perceptions that I had. If that can be heard by others, then my main goal has been accomplished.
Interesting to hear about "meticulous adjustment" being expected and practiced in the studio. My main wonder has been if this is well known (pitch adjustments for synths) and commonly done or not. I'm thinking that perhaps the situation is as follows: nothing in particular is done beforehand, in terms of adding "Railsback" adjustments to synths (or comparable set of adjustments), since even these are at best only good first guesses and the changing context may invalidate those choices. So instead, in the mix, the precaution is made that the synths be automated (MIDI or OSC), and audible pitch problems are handled via adjustments as needed.
Quite. Good audio production is also a result of hours of practice. Unbeknown to many, good producers are also highly-trained and/or talented musicians... Brian Eno, Steven Wilson to name a couple. ?
I'm just someone who works with a home studio, so I don't know what is happening in the pro studios. When I was asking around, for example, at various retailers that sell audio gear, no one mentioned any specific tools used specifically for the purpose of dealing with "stretch" tuning issues.
Therefore, this kind of adjustment relies on skilled operators with excellent ears and their attention to detail, rather than software?
Don’t get me wrong, Visionaries like you could make software to facilitate matters. ?
