Pitch Raise

[ed miller]

Thanks for your response, Don.

Is there a particular sequence you use to do an aural pitch raise that you 
wouldn't mind sharing?

For example do you do all the A's first, then do all the other octaves in 
rounds of 5ths (or something like that)?

After you've overshot your original A49, do you continue to overshoot the 
octaves going up and down by any particular amounts (or just by the amount 
you would normally stretch each succesive ocatve)?

Thanks again.
Ed
