Paris pitch bend [message #66413]

How well does it work?

Could I slow down a song 10% without it sounding messed up? Speed it up 10%?

I like how Prince did his Camille/Bob George voice vari-speed thing back in
the day.

Just wondered if Paris allowed for that sort of vari-speed latitude.

There are far better ways to change pitch.

Paris has a rather old system. Percussive sounds change from a sharp crack
into more of a fart. ;o) It works alright on vocals though actually, as they
are much softer by nature, but there would be far better things to use, and
mostly I've only used it for pitch corrections of 10% of a semitone or something.
After processing I usually find I need to boost the level by a couple of
db.

I wouldn't try a whole band though... that's destined for dissapointment.

Cheers,
Kim.

The only speed change AFAIK is by changing the sample rate, which is quite
limited.

Actually that's true I don't think you can even change the speed.

While you're playing back something, change the sample rate and it will
speed/slow down depending on which way you are going. Did this by accident
once. 44.1 or 48 are the only options though.

Uptown,
I think you can get an ADAT with tape speed to vary about a whole step
in either direction or 1/6th.

I used to do this by taking the WC out of a DA88 and feeding
it to Paris. I would varyspeed the DA88 to get Paris to
pitch up or down. Worked great.

What about Melodyne? I have often used it on singers that had problems when
Antares Autotune couldn't follow over half, half tone steps problems.

I've got Melodyne 3 and it's by far the best pitch / time correction
software I've used. I've never had good results with PARIS - like Kim says,
a snare drum turns into a fart, in fact all pitch shifting I've done in
PARIS sounds like a fart. Melodyne beats AutoTune hands down, and I've
found it better than the MPEX algorithm used in Nuendo.

I'm looking into Melodyne, after hearing lots of good things about it.
Autotune seems to be OK for simple auto corrections, but nothing more. I
have done some isolated and very minor pitch correction with PARIS and it
wasn't too bad - nothing like any flatulence I've ever heard though :>)

Hehe... no I find it's not too bad on vocals, and the artifacts are less
noticable the less you change the pitch, so moving just 20 cents in a direction
isn't that big a problem.

But try moving something sharp and percussing by 6 semitones and you'll see
what I mean. ;o)

Cheers,
Kim.
