Can’t remember where off the top of my head, but you can change the pitch down or up as many steps as you want, then change it back, without adjusting tempo. I do it whenever we want to try a cover out and want to hear how it sounds in D standard vs. E. I use the Play Rate Change adjust.

Ha, nope! I just have a lower voice with a limited range. More like a baritone trying to sing a tenor’s part. I figured two steps max wouldn’t sound too Chipmunky. Doesn’t have to sound natural, it’s indie rock ffs. Broken Social Scene’s Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl comes to mind for example. Ain’t natural. Sounds fine.

I just remembered you can totally record in Reaper with the speed down and then just return the speed to normal. Reaper rules.

Underestimated myself. Turns out I only needed to pitch down one semitone.

Thanks for the help!

I wish. Nothing could be further from the truth. Singing is not my strong suit.

Guessing you don’t follow the PRF Monthly Tribute, but I’d be down for Boston or Foreigner!

i love that feature! feels almost 4-tracky. i use that sometimes when i want to overdub a harmony and have it sound a little less like my main vocal. will decrease the rate by ~6%, record my harmonies, then return back to normal rate. it's funny, sometimes when i do that my voice sounds straight up like emily.
