higher voice from deeper voice in SF studio -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:higher voice from deeper voice in SF studio Posted by: jitterbug Date:11/19/2009 1:19:16 PM I`m using soundforge studio and used pitch shift to create a higher sounding voice from a deeper voice, but ends up sounding like a chipmunk... I have no prior audio sound training, but want to create higher and lower voices from a middle voice, but not make it sound like the speech is speeding up, how do I do this and keep the same timing and natural voice? Am I using the right software or can this only be done in soundforge pro?

I don't think any version of SF can do what you want. I use a defunct software called Voice Tweaker, which does allow some tweaking of formants. It usually tunes off-pitch vocals without sounding unnatural. But with, say, octaves, it starts to sound real squirrely. If the voice is buried in a group of voices, sometimes I can get away with it.

You can try pitch shift as already posted, maybe pitch correction soft/hardware, or if you look long/hard enough there are still some novelty type apps available.

I found 2 really good ones with samples and quite amazing, they can speed up and slow down sounds and music, make them higher or lower and still sound natural. p-soft created chronostream2 http://www.psoft.co.jp/en/product/chronostream/index.html and prosoniq.com has timefactory2. this one is around $200 US, chronostream a bit pricier. but the samples were impressive. is it possible to set this up to get instant notification when someone posts to your thread?
