How manually adjust a few notes to microtones

[anyu43018237]

I'm of Egyptian Jewish descent and am learning the Egyptian Jewish music system. I've found some recent recordings of a fairly good chanter, but unfortunately he spent so long living in America that his chanting has shifted to a more western scale than the Eastern scale. The scale should properly be:

d, e quarter flat, f, g, a, b quarter flat, c, d.

And his chanting is now (obviously)

d, e, f, g, a, b, c, d

I'd like to manually go in and adjust the e and b notes to being a quarter flat. Anyone have any ideas on how I could do that in Audition?

Audition has several features that will help with this task. First is to switch on the Spectral Pitch Display and set the Frequency display on the right to Notes rather than Hertz. This will help you identify the particular notes that you want to re-pitch. Then you can turn on the Manual Pitch Correction from the Effects/Time and Pitch menu. It will be quite pains taking and take a while to get used to how you control the Pitch Envelope to deal with each note individually.
