Overview

Pitch and time, separated.

SoundShifter changes pitch and time independently, the two most demanding processes in digital audio and the ones where stock DAW tools usually fall short. Three components cover different needs, from graphic manipulation of the time and pitch continuum to straightforward transposition. Practical uses run from trimming a commercial to fit a slot and transposing a backing track, through to sound design where the material is meant to be transformed rather than preserved.

Highlights

The sound quality far exceeds typical stock DAW functions
Tweak the time of commercials, so they fit into designated time slots
Transform audio, for sound design applications and FX
Transpose based on absolute frequencies or musical pitches
Parametric/Graphic SoundShifters are AudioSuite-only components
Pitch shifter component works with all DAWs, not just Pro Tools
Transpose instruments and vocals to different keys
Raise pitch/time with masters, as was done with variable-speed tape
