Default Pitch Transpose

Hello all DUC people! Does anyone know how to lower the pitch of a session? I have all the instruments complete and am recording the vocalist. The song is at a higher range than the vocalist can hit. Is there anything I can do to lower the pitch for recording purposes, then bring the song back to speed? 10 trks drums,bass DI and cab, 6 gtr trks is what I am working with.
LE 7.0 -- 002R Please help.

Thank you!!

I havent used it but I beleive that the full version of Meledyne will work across a full session.

Default Re: Pitch Transpose

the default pitch adjuster in pt isn't so hot - but Serato Pitch 'n time is really good. there's a free sample of it, i think.

an idea - you could pitch all your non-percussion tracks down a few steps on alternate playlists (or even just do a guitar and bass track, enough to get through the song - mute the rest for now). then track the lead vocals at that lower pitch, and then pitch-shift that vocal track back up to "normal", and revert your other pitched tracks back. that way only the vocal track has to be pitched for the final mix. the lead vocal might sound a bit weird pitched up, though, so maybe you'd actually be better off pitching all the instruments down, and leaving it there where the vocalist is comfortable... good luck!

Thanks for the great advice! I will try to lower the pitch of the bass and one guitar track first. I will let you know what becomes of this.. I know that the guys in the band are adamant about their tuning, so I dont know if they would keep the lower tuning. I hope bringing the vocal back to normal works. I suppose if that does not work, I might invest in the Melodyne.

Thanks,

I don't think that this is what you are looking for, but I have discovered a way to (somewhat) drastically reduce the pitch of an entire session by means of slowing it all down. If you hold down shift while clicking play it will play the session much more slowly. I haven't tried recording like this, but when I found it I thought it was pretty cool (but not necessarily usable)!
