Pitching down a stereo mix a few cents
Hi,
I'm putting this in Getting Started as to not incur the wrath of some in the 2021 section. Old PT user here. 25 years. On an HD Native system . Mac. I have a customer who desperately wants to pitch down a stereo mix 8 cents before putting vocals on. Yes....you guessed it....I think he was reading about the magic of A-432, and how the harmonic balance of the universe will be corrected and everyone's coffee maker will finally work together in unity.... (or something like that) Putting his naivety/mental problems aside, What process would y'all employ to pitch a stereo track down 8 cents, to get the least artifacts and weirdness and maintain the time of the track. I played with elastic audio for about an hour, and it just did weird things. I am all ears though, if I was doing something wacky... Thanks.

Re: Pitching down a stereo mix a few cents
Just a simple thought;
best to pitch down a stereo rough mix rather than multitrack. X-form? Edit; I was thinking, pitch down a stero mix to record to, then pitch up the vocal to make it fit. Then finish the mix and downpitch the stereo master - if you want.

Re: Pitching down a stereo mix a few cents
Audibly, the least artifacty mode is varispeed as long as the tempo and timbre change are acceptable.

Re: Pitching down a stereo mix a few cents
Have not dusted off Melodyne in a while.
Is there a way to go down 8 cents?

Re: Pitching down a stereo mix a few cents
We used to use "Speed" for stereo tracks.
I just don't have Pitch in Time on my new machines....so I'm kind of starting over. (Never thought I would need to do this again)

Re: Pitching down a stereo mix a few cents
Audiosuite X-Form or Waves Sound Shifter should do it.
That's such a tiny change. I'd be tempted to varispeed it.

It is tiny, and arguably a waste of time.... Need to keep length exactly the same.
