I am working on a theatre project. Opening night is in a week. Out of the blue emerges the need to feature a couple of songs - playback style. Sounds cheesy, but works in the context. Now, the singback versions are in the wrong key (possibly a third too high, not quite sure yet), and I am wondering what magic tricks can be performed with 2010-style pitchshifting. I don´t think i have the time or resources to record it, and the tracks sound really good, so I would like to keep them.
For the record I usually work in Logic, Ableton on my Mac and on Vegas, Sound Forge, Ableton on my PC.
The music is original rock/pop- ish energetic drums/bass/guitars/keys music.
What is the best way to polyphonic pitchshift 'without loss of quality' these days?
thanks, thanks, thanks

Hey Pierlu! Thanks! I thought people said that it isn´t too good for polyphonic materials when you want to keep the artifacts to a minimum? Also I want same tempo, and try to keep the formants so that it sounds natural. I have had much success with Prosoniqs Timefactory, but I havent used it for a few years and am just wondering about the status quo. Are people happy with Melodyne for this use?
well i just dont know cos i never used it myself, probably it does not works well with full mixes of tracks but this video is quite cool to show the possibilities of it
Video i use sound forge for this.
i think theres a music setting for full tracks that works well. logics was always a bit messy, and abletons i find artifacty on some stuff try Reaper
link it has many algos.

the new melodyne can handle polyphonic stuff,
if you just want to change the pitch of the vocal, i think something like melodyne that can isolate sound sources would be best, though its expensive. i heard of a much cheaper alternative that does the same thing but i cant remember what it was called. the new melodyne can handle polyphonic stuff,

link Clara! And I will check Melodyne for sure. Thanks. And Reaper. I run Reaper on my Mac Lappy, but thats kinda the same as Vegas just for Mac, right?
