i've been testing out sony's music software program
called "sony acid music studio 8.0" and i'm having a real difficult time accepting sony's answer on issues i'm encountering with adjusting the pitch.....we i do so, the re-created version is all fragmented, fluttered and garbled.....when i asked a sony rep about it he said that's just because of the pitch adjustment.....has anyone ever encountered this issue when adjusting the pitch, either making the song longer OR shorter....if that's what sony's product produces when adjusting the pitch, i'll need someone to point me in a direction of a different music software program that doesn't have this issue.....any help would be welcomed.... ------------- edtop40 |

Ed, this evening I'll download the samples you sent and give you my feedback. Based on what you are trying to do, there are a couple things to double check. When you are trying to adjust the pitch, you want to adjust BOTH the pitch and tempo--not just the pitch. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Try Audacity--it's free.
It has these under effects: Change Speed, affects both tempo and pitch Change Tempo, affects tempo without changing pitch |

Ed, I think you are using the wrong program to do what you
want to do. Sony Music Studio is what you want. I cannot vouch for Audacity, as I do not use it. I did have it installed once and did not try out it's pitch adjustment feature. ------------- |

I use Adobe Audition 1.5 to do all my digital editing. In order to alter a song's speed using this software program, you first click the "Effects" option on the tool bar, select "Time/Pitch" on the pull-down menu, and then click the "Stretch..." option. You can choose among the following options while in "Stretch" mode:
Time Stretch (preserves pitch) Pitch Shift (preserves tempo) Resample (preserves neither) You must select "Resample" in order for the audio music file to play back properly. I've found that choosing either of the other two options results in flutter and even distortion. |

I use Audition 3 and 4, and soon Audition 5 when it's
released this month. ------------- |

Audacity is buggy under Windows. Use Sony Sound Forge on PC platforms. Adobe Audition is OK but some features are gone which some users need. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |

Well, CS6, otherwise known as Audition 5 is out today. They restored many features that were missing in the previous version. ------------- |
