A lot of pitch shifter have a separation of semitones and formants. It sounds good, but it’s nothing new at all. However, for members it’s nice to have as usual.
"A lot of pitch shifter have a separation of semitones and formants. It sounds good, but it’s nothing new at all." They do, but they sound like shit when transposing, even after adjusting the formats. This has some more trickery to sound more natural.
It does the format shifting and the note-to-voice, but not the realism. This sounds way more closer to how a singer would sing in a higher pitch, than regular pitch shifting.
This got my attention, because the shift doesn’t seem to get those formant artifacts, but I checked out Izotope Nectar 4 [which I recently bought] and it has formant controls that seem to also adjust independently - so you can eliminate and strange chipmunk sounds or artifacts. Now, I’m no expert and the demo I watched might rely on the technical understanding of the studio technician. But it looked like you shift the pitch, then adjust the formant shift secondly. Have you compared Metapitch to Izotope Nectar 4?
question: if you go to meta pitch presets, you have 02: extreme - the creature... I love this sound, everything about it but I don't like the fact that it tunes to one note, however by turning "robot" off on the slider, it also gets rid of that crunch/ gritt/ autopan effect... how can I get the effect that I want?
Melodyne has done this since the beginning, 15+ years. Devious Machines Pitch Monster does it. Soundtoys Little Alterboy does it. Zplane Elastique Pitch does it (they call it "Timbre"). Melda MAutoPitch. DJSwivel's The Sauce. Izotope Nectar (I think it's the Preserve + Shit module inside the pitchshifter, if it's still called Preserve). Antares Throat, and of course AutoTune. Waves VocalBender. I'm sure there are others I'm not thinking of right now, but anyway, there are lots.
The thing you describe is format shifting. Yes, they all do it. Also all do pitch shifting of the voice. But the key thing this does is repitching AND sounding more natural. This is way better than Alterboy, Nectar, Autotune, and probably Melodyne.
@@foljs5858 I don't know why you're talking down to me as if I don't know what formant-shifting is. The uploader said he'd never seen a pitch-shifter do formant-shifting, and that's what made the Slate one unique in his view. Lots of the ones in my list can sound natural if you know how to use them properly, but of course they can sound grainy just like this Slate one does. And this Slate one is not remotely as good as Melodyne.
@@joechapman8208 "The uploader said he'd never seen a pitch-shifter do formant-shifting, and that's what made the Slate one unique in his view." No, he said something else, though perhaps it wasn't clearly stated. He said that the thing no other pitch shifter does is how it sounds true to the original as if it was sung higher when you unlink the format shifting. I don't think Melodyne sounds this good at +5 semis.
@@foljs5858 You are making shit up and I'm done talking to you. Have fun moving goalposts. Literally everyone else in the comments saw the same video I did and got the same conclusion.
@@joechapman8208 "You are making shit up and I'm done talking to you" I could not give fewer fucks. "Literally everyone else in the comments saw the same video I did and got the same conclusion." Yes, the wrong one. Most people are not very perceptive.
