Best Time stretching/Pitch/Temp/Speed Option? + vinyl questi

[jaynyc]

whats the best option available ? i have 7.1 is there better options in 7.3? or plugins? The Pitch Shift doesnt seem good at all..I'm trying pitch n time but not sure if this is the best option available..also is there a way to reduce noise in recordings? I'm recording from vinyl n there r pops/noise from the dust..

You might want to try a demo of Digidesign's X-Form plugin for something along the lines of pitch n' time.

For the vinyl noise there are a number of plugs that can do this, digidesign make DINR, theres also Bias Sound Soap.

which 1 is better the x form or the pitch n time? i didnt know i would need to buy all this when i got protools :| kinda sucks..

Apparently, X-Form is now the best algorithm there is on the market. I'll judge for myself when I get it in the next few days, but all reports are uniformly excellent.

All DAWs offer basic plugins to cover most tasks, but apart from the odd standout most of them are far exceeded in quality by third party plugins. Pro Tools is not unique in this regard and for the record, I think that the Digi Time/Pitch shift is pretty useful for a free app.

You don't REALLY need all this, but you sure do WANT it.

Unfortunately, all my suggestions are not cheap. I used to use Speed from Sound Toys and found that excellent. I now use SoundShifter from Waves, but that is only available in the expensive bundles. But it is very accurate.

Recently I got the Melodyne plug-in. I haven't worked a lot with the time shifting part of it, but the pitch shifting is incredible. Both in preserving the original character, or if you want to manipulate other formant variations.

Not the most intuitive plug-in, but quite superb.

Serato Pitch 'n Time is a decent plug...
