anyone know if this is any good for tuning the old vocals?? it's a tenner at turnkey again.. cheers.

What is turnkey? If they sell softwares that are legal in this low price; I am going to visit often to see the prices.


Is my use of ; in recent posts correct? I read in my book lately about it, and I think I am using it correct.

It's quite basic but does the job well

To answer your question fully it's good for tuning up your vocals easily and quickly and can mess them up too if that's what you want (Cher anybody? ). The latest version is very solid here (Pentium 4) but I had to email AKAI to get the updates as there doesn't seem to be any downloads available anymore. Their tech support guy did email me the updates the same day though which was good.

The AKAI vocoder is particularly good if you can get hold of that . It's the only software vocoder that I've tried so far (I think I've tried most) that sounds anything like they should IMO

What's involved in getting the latest version? Whom do I email?

Send them an email here:

akaipro_support_us@akaipro.com

They replied the same day for me I remember. The latest version is v1.01. I think it fixed some nasty bugs such as the serial number not being remembered and the plugin going into demo mode, so it is a very important update (which is why I was surprised it was taken offline). I was a bit worried at first but they emailed me it straight over

Im answering the second bit, since no-one else has.

In this case the use of the semicolon is incorrect, I'm afraid. The sentence you used here didnt need any punctuation between 'price' and 'I' at all ie

Quote:

If something is true then I'll do something else

This is basically a conditional, with the second part being the result of your condition being true. Hence its all one thing, and doesnt need any punctuation in between the condition (if part) and the result of the condition (then part

The semicolon is more typically used for a slight change of 'focus' within a particular sentence where the second part is a result of the first...

Quote:

Something is true; I think I'll do something else

Note that both of these are technically independent statements which could be sentences on their own... the semicolon serves to link them.

Another example of the correct use might be

Quote:

I bought myself something yesterday; it was worth the money

Again, the two parts could be separate sentences, but since they're related, a semicolon ties them together despite the slight shift in context.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, pitchright does the job. It's got a nasty "body" robbing effect, though, which means I use it less than I might.

I think it's worth noting that the semicolon is not commonly used in 'everyday' correspondence. In fact, it's widely misused, even among native English speakers. I've always personally thought of it as a superfluous punctuation mark; the use of the semicolon has been consequently limited in my experience.

Still, it's encouraging to know that you're making an effort to write in English more fluently. I know many people for whom English is a second language, and many of those speak and write English better than my native English-speaking friends!

Good luck,

Good ol' punctuation! I tend to use semicolons a lot; they allow for a certain flow that matches the way I speak.

It's complicated by a number of factors, including

This is a valuable lesson; I thank you very much.

Sorry to get back on topic but is there somewhere that sells this plugin (at a lowish price) that doesn't charge £50 shipping worldwide???

I'm assuming pitchright is only sold boxed, correct?
