As long as we're discussing alternatives to doing this in QC, I'll chime in to 
say that I ended up doing pitch tracking in a recent project using Max/MSP, 
then sending a normalized value for pitch to QC via OSC.  Max/MSP has vastly 
more powerful audio tools than QC.  For your purposes, you might be able to get 
a sufficiently close frequency match using QC's audio tools but I wouldn't 
count on it.  

best,
