You can do it!

Use low-pass-filter. . .not too much.

When you "fuss" at Kat-Kat, use that low, gravely voice.

Breath deep, open mouth, sing like Tony (in French with Hungarian accent).

Fake it. You can do it!

Hope Tony is not in too much discomfort and you as well.

God Speed,
Pilgrim
thanks Pilgrim for the low pass filter, a direct answer, going to give it a try

but, what kind of VST, is a fuss a kat-kat...? Antares? fake voice? Voice remodeler? Melodyne, Yamaha vocal rack? never heard of it..... :lol:

no, I can't fake it that time, this is why I am looking for help or how to make a bad fake a good one

thanks for you to be still alive and well I hope, and Lea

and, I had my father who lived in Lund, I was here, once, nice city...the only think I could not understand, is why on Sweeden, all the windows are not covered with blinds, and, when walking on a street, you automaticaly look at the artifacts posed in front of the windows...My stepmother was mad at me, because, I looked at the artifacts, and she told. me, you can't look at the windows..in Sweden.. :?:

thanks you

In the same way that a violin is not just a higher pitched cello, because the body is a different size, you need to account for that. A piece of software such as Melodyne Uno would help you there and is probably a little more accessible than buying a V-Synth GT ;-)

Thanks Daz,

then in reality we cant exchange a bad women to a beautifull one, period, and, your example of a violin, versus a cello, or a contrabass, is a good example..Then why on hearth, do we have people making VST and telling with this ONE, you can truly make so and so changes...Just marketing...../Anyway, with Samplitude 10, we do have a kind of pitch shifter, and an elastic audio, but, it could help, maybe for 2 semitons, then after.....this is after......

just tell me about the format frequency...what would be the best to do...? If, for example I rec at 48000 and play back at 44100, yes I would have a change, but, what is the best way around? for a female intake, to rec, at higher speed? or the other way around? but, if changing the frequency, I would need to either make it longer or shorter, them I would always have loss in the quality of the final product....

Thanks Daz, I appreciat it, have a nice day.....

from IFX, perhaps, but, I could not find yet, the proper way to do a nice and warm male voice...

Thanks you
I'm not with my Oasys now, but you can do it by using effects. I've done in the past shifting the pitch in real time. It's not so bad for a few semitones but changing from female to male range could sound artificial to my taste.
tell me....how did you do it? witch IFX did you used on your audio track, for the pitch shifting?

Dear Idascanio, thanks for your help, Buenos Aires,

I have already tried with the Oasys and a Mic, and my mic, I suppose, not the best quality, a Fender P-51 but, to give it a try, or, at least, LEARN, I did connected, the mic, and plugged it into Oasys, and for output, either to L\R, and also, to IFX1, then, I opened a combi, even severals combis, even with just programs, to try with the differents IFX effects, and yes, this is a wonderfull experiment, but, where could I find a kind of receipe, telling me, beside using any kind of externals softwares sequencer, what would be the best approach, when using IFX from OASYS, to correct a pitch or a dormant effect? witch one or? witch IFX to use...? I already saw, I have too much reverb, and, yes, my try is a strange result, not a machine, not a VST, not an IFX would, I think never replace a good an warm male voice....


you arer also right, if a voice either male or female is recorded, when using pitch shifting, the result is not very good, maybe when I would be 100 years old...then I would not try to make music anymore

thanks again for your help...... :wink:

and, beside, I am an awfull female singer :lol:
To shift the pitch you can use effects 068 to 071, all of them dedicated to this with different variants.
Please note that it's not the same as pitch correction (as you could find in your PA arranger). In this case it shifts the pitch whatever it is, independant it's tuned to a note or not. You will get a lower pitch, more representative of male voice and nothing else.
After that you will need to play a little with filters.
To use a low pass filter is a good option. To do something closer to formants that modulate voice you should try with two or more Band-pass filter in parallel set to different frequencies... just a few ideas...
