A year ago when I posted this - people were talking (complaining) about harmonizers.

I had already experimented with pitch shifting audio tracks for vocal harmony so I googled for a real time pitch shifter and found that one.

If you haven't done it - you can duplicate an audio track twice so you have three of the same track. Then in Cubase make sure the "show events infoline" is pressed at the top left - then click under "transpose" and change the number a few semitones.

If you do it on a vocal - the high one is Alvin the chipmunk and the low one is Smoky the bear and the middle one is you. But the three together aren't too bad as long as the volumes are adjusted.

I think I left one track alone - changed one plus 4 semitones and the other minus 5. Something like that.

But the one I downloaded did the same thing as I played in real time.

Hi Septemfluous - been away for awhile?

That post was with Mdrummer small v.2 - so I downloaded v.3 to check it out and keep things current.

I hate manuals - especially for checking things quickly so I push buttons.

I loaded the vst and in Quick Controls - clicked "natural" under components - then "pop1" in the second window - then "poprock - then shuffle" in the 3rd window - then "blues rock 02" in the 4th window.

Pressed the space bar and it didn't play. I forgot how to operate this. I clicked on "globals" tab and found a button for "jam mode" and now it plays when I press the space bar. It plays for 50 secs then quits - so I have to find the settings for length which are probably done using the intro - verse - chorus - outro settings - but I'm in a hurry right now.

Then I did a mixdown of the audio and there was the audio track.

So here it is - just that particular drum kit - but more analog.

By the way - I installed mdrummer small - not the mdrummer small with demo version - so it doesn't hiss or click.

Aaron - this is the joy of having a PC - there has always been loads of cheap/free software. You may have to wait until everyone catches up with Snow Leopard compatibility before things get easier.
