What happened to the good old Cakewalk Pitch Shifter Plugin?

I don't know about X3 but it's in X2. Remember that it's a distructive effect so you can't put it in the effects bin. To apply it, right-click on the audio clip, then select:
Process Effect > Audio Effects > Cakewalk > Time/Pitch Stretch 2

@Kev999 - I used to use it in the effects bin all the time, without issue. Having said that I know that you could apply it as a clip effect also, as per what you're saying. Also I think the Time/Pitch Stretch 2 plug is a different beast to the Pitch Shifter
 
@Scook - i figured it might be some compatibility/stability issue also. Having said that I found it on my set of Sonar 8 disks and re-installed it - seems to work ok so far!
 
 

Yeah its missing from X3 though John, and was wondering why they excluded it ie compatibility?? And if so, is there another way to pitch shift clips between steps.

I guess so, but I don't remember another pitch shifter apart from this and the transpose tool.

Millzy,
 
I have X3e and also 7PE.
 
If this is available on 7PE, how do I load just that plugin on my new machine?
 
Thanks alot!

I still use this plugin.  I apply it to instruments, including guitar, moving up 12 steps three times to get some way interesting "harmonics."  And I use it on "purc" sounds to add three layers lower.
 
I most always have to adjust the wav files. They seem to be added with a slight delay. Sometimes this works fine.
 
But I have found TRANSPOSE to be more accurate. It uses the Radius functions. And can take much longer. I use this when the sound needs to be clear without effects. Elastique in reaper is good.
 
I use a few common folders for all the plugins I use. These folders are on the samples disk, not the OS/sonar install disk. I have copied the most current versions from the buried sonar install folders to these folders. This means I will not lose anything when I have moved to newer computers. I also use my folders for presets, and cal files,....   I attempt to NEVER use the default buried and hidden folders for anything needing backup, if possible. I wish the CW dudes understood nothing a user needs to backup should be placed in buried and hidden folders.
 
I try to always install sonar to a c:\sonar folder (8, x, x2, x3). Most 3rd party audio programs are placed in c:\audioprograms   not the programs folders.
 
More user control, less wasted time.
 
 
 

I use this plugin for learning songs. I play in a lot of tribute bands and we are constantly learning new tunes. Often, the files (mp3's etc) that I get to learn from are in-between keys (been copied from vinyl or just out for whatever reason.) Rather than re-tune the bass, I just throw the Pitch Shifter on the track and adjust the slider accordingly. Quick and easy.
 
Having said that, I received a "General Error" message last night when I closed down a project with 3 tracks of Pitch Shifter on it (using X3.) My first error message of any kind. Wondering if there is some incompatibility which is why they left it out of X3.

 For years the 32bit FX1,2 and 3 plug-ins were available for free from the Cakewalk store, they have been withdrawn there too. 

Hey scook
I just checked the cakewalk store and found the fx1,fx2,and fx3 under the audio effects. They can still be downloaded.

Default installs do not always place the stuff in the same folders.  Prolly will have to add the folder to the plugin manager.
 
I use a set of folders on the samples disk to store ALL the plugins I use. I move the latest versiosn there after a default install if the plugs do not get there during.

I am sure most if not all the Cakewalk freebies can be found on the 'net. The odd thing is Cakewalk still has a Triangle II page up without a download link http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/Triangle/
