![]() ![]() It may require a little eq once you bring the files back into garageband to get it to sit in the mix properly but you won't have any pops or clicks to speak of.SoundHack has announced SoundHack Pvoc Kit, which they say combines time stretching, pitch shifting, soundfile looping and phase distortion into four easy to use, sonically rich plug-ins. This is the best method I've found and the results are believable. It takes more time but the pitching is much more transparent. I've found it works best with Individual monophonic recordings. Export the entire pitched performance and now repeat with the next instrument. ![]() Be very conservative with this as going too far with it can create some very unnatural sounds. Use it to drag the little rectangle that appears on top of your waveform. Two tools to the right of the mouse tool is the formant tool. Much more is pushing it.Īlso adjusting the formant should help the pitching keep it's integrity. This works best above or below a whole step. Now click on the mouse tool and drag your performance up or down to the desired key. Across the top will be a new parameter called Separation. To do this be sure to select the entire performance, go to Definition > Correct Detection. ![]() For the best pitch shift what I've found is to keep it from dissecting the performance into individual transients. Melodyne will try to detect all of the pitches and dissect the audio accordingly. Once that's settled import your performance. Make sure to optimize the settings for the best quality (Remove the 6 dB pad it adds to the master fader, render in desired bit depth, set it to wav, etc.). The trick is to go into Melodyne's prefs. My method is not foolproof and it may take some tweaking, but the best solution I've come across for this problem is Melodyne. I have been asked a couple of times where I went to record, which makes me laugh since I'm using an ancient MacBook with the version of GarageBand that came preloaded on it. I have squeezed every ounce out of this program and interface. There are nuances that I would never be able to achieve again.ġ: If anyone has any suggestions on changing the pitch of multiple audio tracks without altering tempo and without ending up with a ton of artifacts, I would be grateful.Ģ: Or would it be better to record the tracks again or get over my OCD and restyle the vocals so they are in range?ģ: I am using GarageBand version 3 and an Apogee ONE, which is basic I know, but I couldn't be happier with the sound. The idea of recording the tracks again is unbearable because I love everything about the way they sound now. When I try to adjust the pitch, the sound quality becomes degraded and there are loads of artifacts, mainly clicking and popping. I also don't want to mess with the tempo because I have it right where I want it. Wrong! I want to just lower the pitch of the guitar and bass tracks as I don't want the drums to have a different sound compared to other songs. I sat down today thinking I'd be done in five minutes and on my way to finishing this album. I am kicking myself because I noticed this early on, but figured i could fix it later by adjusting the pitch. The problem is, three of the songs are out of the comfortable range. Drums and guitars are recorded and sound great, and it is time to lay down vocals. I have been in a recording studio before, which has been a big help now that I am the one behind the board, but there are a couple things that have me stumped. I am currently working on a group of songs. ![]()
