Pitch Shift
Mar 30 2008 | 10:56 am
hey all. this is a question for all who mess with pitch shifting. everything
i make has really bad artifacts in it. i'm trying to make one track that has
some Good ( doesn't really have to be great) lowered vocals. ( i don't
really have a low voice and i think it will add to the song) this is hip hop
of sorts so it doesn't have to be terribly in tune to sound good. i just
don't want the tinkles. have any of you messed with this? have anything you
would be willing to show me? or perhaps a link to a good shifter? (
MadShifta isn't good enough for what i want). Oh and at most it only has to
go down about a major third to get what i want. just no tinkles :)
anyway, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
oh and it has been brought to my attention that i am a bad poster in that i
never say thanks for the info. so i would like to take this time to thank
everyone for any advice or help that i have ever gotten on this forum! THANK
YOU :)

Tends to work better on material that has been pitchshifted upwards. Not as good as gizmo~, but can be faster.Also, consider using a high-shelf filter on the pitchshifted output to reduce the prominence of artifacts. (alternatively, you could use a multiband compressor)Peter McCulloch
- Mar 31 2008 | 2:09 amgood idea but the thing with cutting out the highs is that i do want some highs in the vox or it will not sound as alive. i'm gona mess with gizmo~ some more ( just got home from work) and this is just for production so latency is fine :)On Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 6:55 PM, Peter McCulloch wrote:> And if you can't, you can improve the quality by FFT convolving the > original with the pitchshifted one to super impose the formants of the > original on the shifted version.

- Mar 31 2008 | 2:34 ami remember why i don't like gizmo~ all that much. it's exactly like Madshifta. it makes the "chuuck chuuck" noise with any kind of percussive noise your mouth might make. same thing it does with drums :( you guys know what im talking about? the chuuck chuuckOn Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 7:09 PM, Joel Swensen wrote:> good idea but the thing with cutting out the highs is that i do want some > highs in the vox or it will not sound as alive. > i'm gona mess with gizmo~ some more ( just got home from work) and this is > just for production so latency is fine :) > > > On Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 6:55 PM, Peter McCulloch < > peter.mcculloch@gmail.com> wrote: > > > And if you can't, you can improve the quality by FFT convolving the > > original with the pitchshifted one to super impose the formants of the > > original on the shifted version.

It's an fft style process but when you get the settings right It is as simple as a drag to the new transposition level.___________________________________________________________________________________Ron Alford
