Changing the pitch!

Kuali Baba SG

I spent the last few minutes fiddling around with my songs, namely by changing the pitch (without increasing the tempo) with the help of a programme. Very Happy

I find that U2's 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' sounds a tad nicer when sung one semitone higher. Mr. Green If only Bono could hit those notes. Alas, he sings it 4 semitones lower when he performs it live these days.

Any contributions or comments? If you want me to tweak some other song, let me know!

so used to listening to songs with original key...sounds so weird if i were to drop to up the key

wont such programs distort the voice of the singer? eg, high pitches sounding like hamsters while low pitches sounding like vacuum. Rolling Eyes Mr. Green

u neber go karaoke before? Laughing

hegu SG

i never change key one...sounds tooooooo weird

can retain the quality of the singer's voice meh? Question

hegu SG

oh yea...i dun normally switch on the original singer voice during karaoke, usually sing on my own... Laughing

Yes, but it's not bad if it's just one semitone's difference. Razz The instrumentation sounds the same.

Turn it up an octave for the hamster effects. Wink

Kuali Baba SG

Neither do I, I'm good enough. Razz

hegu SG

haha...an octave difference is too much... Laughing

when i sing female songs i will auto sing one octave lower...makes it soooo easy to sing, even at the high notes Mr. Green

i do notice some singers tend to drop a few semitones during live singing...'playing cheat' lol.

and i do notice some songs dropping key when the chorus starts (to suit the singer's voice range) and upping the key again when the chorus ends lol. Sounds terribly weird but unique

But it sounds so dull like that! Go higher gradually. Yeah, U2 do some songs lower but they also render it differently. And those who want to audition for Idol can take advantage. Razz

I haven't heard anything like that though.
