looking for an effect / plugin

[Sal De Ban]

how can i change the pitch of a voice, without altering the actual notes they are singing? I know this sounds counter-intuitive...

so...the voice sounds slowed down and bent, but they are singing the same notes as the original voice track. Weeknd used this, it's been used in some future garage-type tracks, etc.

anyone?

Have not used software in ages but wouldn't Melodyne do this for you...

thanks Comsosauve. i wondered about melodyne. i just hope it's not an autotune effect/plugin because, ick.

What you are looking to do is alter the formants. Altering the formant will keep the pitch of the notes the same but will alter the characteristics of the voice so that for eg. a male voice will sound like a female.

Try a formant filter. Melodyne does this well, but it is a little too expensive to use just for this effect.

Thanks! I just may have a formant filter plugin that I've never even used. So I'll try that first, before I go droppin cash on Melodyne
