Is Pitch Shift the best way to lower/raise pitch?

Looking to raise/lower pitch the same way audacity does..

 

 

The problem with AuPitch is I blieve it requires a % and it's hard select the exact % in the automation because of the way the gui is..

 

 

What's nice about pitch shift is the automation lines snap to exact integer values.

 

Does anyone recommend a particular internal way in Logic that's as good as how audacity does it and where it's easy to designate the exact

number of semi tones?

How many semitones we talking about ?

In the region inspector there is a transpose parameter....

This can be used to change the pitch but are you trying to automate a pitch change?

Not in front of logic - but I thought aupitch could do it in cents... 100 cents is 1 semitone

 

See this thread: 7 ways to change the pitch of Audio Regions

Thank you.  Do these all use the same backend engine to accomplish the task?  same audio results?

The one with follow tempo and pitch in the audio region definition -  Those options don't seem to appear for audio I've inserted/dragged in ...   only for audio I've recorded.

 

Any way to make it work for the former?   I've tried duplicating the recorded track and dragging the imported region but no dice

If the audio wasn't originally recorded in logic, that option will not be available.  However, you can make it available by busing the output of the current track and recording it on a new track - the newly recorded region will then have the transpose parameter associated with it.

Thanks!

is one of the methods you mentioned better for certain things?  do they all create the same results ? same transposing algorithm?

The different methods use different back end algorithms, some are real time, some are offline, etc.... so they will produce different results. You'll have to experiment with them to compare the results and determine what method is better for the task at hand.
