In this dialog, you can change the pitch of a sound.
-
To open the Pitch Shifting dialog, select the Process tab in the Audio Editor, and click Pitch Shifting in the Time & Pitch section.

- Pitch field
-
Specifies the resulting pitch.
- Length Preservation
-
Specifies how the length of the selection is affected by the operation:
-
A setting of 100 means that the length of the audio remains unchanged.
-
A setting of 0 means that the program behaves like a tape recorder, when the speed of its tape is changed. For example, if you raise the pitch by one octave, the audio is half as long.
-
Intermediate values give results in between these two extremes.
For large transposition values, the lower this setting, the better the quality of the effect.
-
- Quality pop-up menu
-
Select whether you want to use the Standard Quality or the Quick Process.
- Correct Formants

If this option is activated, changing the pitch of vocal material gives a more realistic result. When processing non-vocal material, leave this option deactivated, because it uses a slightly slower processing algorithm.
NoteThis algorithm might cause a noticeable increase in signal level.
