Varying the pitch on an audio file?
Hi guys! I'm new to Music Creator 5, and I used it for about a week before I rebuilt my desktop and reinstalled everything again. Before the switch over, I had been fooling around with the pitch wheel controller in the MIDI piano roll. Here's what I mean. Now, somehow I was able to do the same sort of flexible pitch variation (Wheel) to an audio clip. It was a clip of Tibetan noise singers, and I was able to vary the pitch of their singing just as I could with the MIDI track. Now, for the life of me, I can't find out how I did it. All of the forums seem to indicate that you can't do this with an audio track, just MIDI. I upgraded to 5.0.5 when I reinstalled...could that have anything to do with it? I swear I was able to manipulate the pitch this way, but I haven't been able to figure it out again! Any clues? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
I have no clue and would state that it is impossible except you wrote that you did it.

This thing does it>>> key changer Cake used to have that function and still might in the bigger packages like SONAR.

Thanks for the link--- I'll check it out. I feel crazy, as I'm positive I did this in Studio 5. Oh well!

You can change the pitch in MC4 on a clip. I believe it's part of the properties. You have to adjust a number of the variables to get it to work decently, though.
MC4 - M-Audio FW410 / Behringer UCA202 - Fender Strat / Jazzmaster / DuoSonic / Washburn / Peavy Foundation M-Audio Radium 49 Roland Juno 106 / JazzChorus / Seymore Duncan Convertible - HP A1230N ( AMD Athalon 3800+ 2G Ram + 200G HD ) http://soundclick.com/cut2thechaise

You can make the audio file into a groove clip by right clicking and choose groove clip looping, than right click on that groove clip and choose properties, there you can change
the pitch.

I'm pretty sure the OP wants to modulate the pitch of an audio track in real time with his MIDI controller's pitch wheel. Like a tremolo.

I would think that if you could do that you would be very lucky to get even marginal results with audio. If you pulled it off it would be an anomally

Still not exactly what the op asked for, but in loop construction view there is a function called pitch envelope where you can draw in a pitch for every slice.

Just like Sony acidized loops, but that would be on a loop by loop basis, not in smooth real time. But it might solve some of the problem
