djsnake Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Hey Y'all. I'm having a hard time using Pitch Shifter plugins / tools including Logic's stock ones. When i pitch an audio region (a long one) with Logic's Pitch Shifter, some of the transients disappear, it sounds like it's being delayed without actually being delayed. I know Pitch Shifting is a CPU-Hungry process but I'm down to have 10 seconds of playback delay after i press play and have no issues with Pitch. Here is what i tried so far and gave me the same result; Logic's Pitch Shifter Logic's Time And Pitch Machine Selection Based Processing (tried with Pitch Shifter and a Plug-in) Some Pitch Shifting Plugins Holding down Option and Pressing Up / Down Arrow (Region Transpose) [This gave me the exact result i want but when there is no audio processing tool on the selected track. When there is, that issue shows up again] I'm basically trying to hear the pitched version of an audio region / instrument track without having that issue, I'm down to have huge amount of playback delay if it's going to happen. Thanks In Advance and Happy Easter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Check out Flex Pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Hey i just tried it and it opened a window where i can directly access the notes. I tried to select all of them and move them but it didn't work as i expected. Am i doing it wrong? I'm trying to pitch up/down a whole track, which contains bunch of different notes at the same time.

David Nahmani Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 What happened when you moved multiple selected notes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 It sounded as if i vocoded the audio. Robotic, different frequency areas pitched differently or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 By how many semitones did you move them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I selected all of them, dragged one of them by a half note like from A to G# so that all of them gets dragged one note. It sounded robotic. I didn't tweak any semitone options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Most of them, it was like only the vocal sounded okay while the rest of the song sounds robotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yes i was able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Wait you're pitching the vocals and they sound ok but the rest of the tracks sound robotic?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'm trying to pitch the whole song, but only vocals sound okay when i do what i said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'm trying to Pitch an exported song to be precise. It's one audio region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Ooooh ok that's not really what Flex Pitch is for, you're supposed to use it on individual tracks, not on a whole mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 So what you suggest? As i mentioned earlier Selection-Based Processing and Time And Pitch Machine introduced some issues.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Go to the original multi-track project and pitch the individual tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Well that introduces the same issue since i do that with Region Transposing (Option + Up / Down Arrow). I have an application on mobile which does it the way I'm trying to do it but I'm not sure if it encodes Lossless. So I'm trying to do the same in Logic. It's basically a pitch and speed shifting app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsnake Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Y'all any help would be appreciated!! I don't think this is unachievable since i can do it with a mobile application by setting the Pitch Shift amount but Logic, I couldn't figure it out.
