Hello,
I'm currently tracking another few songs for a demo for my band, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good protools plugins or tricks for making an octave effect on a bass guitar.
I was thinking of duplicating the bass track and then pitch shifting the 12 semitones, however then the pitch shift tool simply speeds up the timing.
If I can't do this, I could have my bassist use his crappy pedal for the effect, but I kinda wanted to mic it and direct line it and then use the direct lined feed for the octave effect. How can I do this?
Thanks!

Jun 11, 2007 04:40 pm Melodyne works like a charm. 250 bucks, but it's worth every penny. Sounds really natural too. Plus when you're done with bass, you can tune all your vocals or anything else that needs to be corrected.

So your telling me the uber expensive Pro Tools doesn't have a preserve function in its pitch shifter? Now that is just plain silly. Even the oldest version of Cakewalk Pro Audio had a preserve formant ability to keep from having that happen.
I would say double check to see if the pluggin has the ability to do that.
