need help with sound effects and mixing

i finished recording a couple of songs and now im looking to mix them down as well as add effects. im using mc5 and i want a computer like voice effect on certain words in my chorus( u know the kind of effect that makes u sound like a chip monk or as deep as darth vader) but i can seem to find it. i also have mc4 and it has this type of effect but when i tried to pull up the song using that program it tells me some effect arent compatible and if i save anything some data could be lost! i also could use a couple pointers on clarity and overall balance-any and all suggestions will help-thanks
 

Look up GLITCH on your search engine.

It's a free VST that might do what you want.... it has lots of cool things in it.

i just looked up the effect i was talking about on mc4 its called "pitch shifter" can i use it in mc5 too?

thanks guys and one more thing- i imported a beat but the pace is a little slow i want to know how can i speed up the tempo of the beat( if its possible)?

This little jewel used to be free, and they might have a free version somewhere on this site   HERE.

I grabbed a free version when I first saw it about a year back. It uses MP3 files, but..... you can easily convert the "beats" to mp3 import it into this baby, and change the tempo or the key with a simple click or two, then save it and send it back to cake.....waaaa laaaaa...faster beat.

I didn't like it too much because to my ears, and on my studio speakers, I didn't like the way it sounded. The quality was much lower then the original..... IIRC there were some artifacts left over as well. BUT... it was a very easy conversion.
