The other thing I want to do is weigh up my options of whether a hardware octaver and a software octaver is the more cost effective way. If it was not live, I would simply record as usual, render out that track and let audacity pitch it down x octaves and import back into reaper (which I have done before sucessfully), but it is live playing that I am after. Being a live improvisation, the latency needs to be low. So I want to turn my violin into a cello or double bass. I have some backing track in reaper, then I want to improvise live with the electric violin but shift the frequency down 1 or 2 octaves. I connect an electric violin into reaper (think electric guitar if you like) as an audio source. To answer one of the questions, what I want to do with it: Also it doesn't play any of Zebra's sounds, it requires you to create your own. Is not a pitch shifter, but can be a pitch tracking oscillator, but careful adjustment of the detector is needed. Zebrify (companion effect plugin of Zebra). Might find it second hand for a low price because it was free for a limited time. Make sure tracking performs well enough for you. Has adjustable buffer size which reduces latency (and quality) Not free (definitely demo any of these to make sure quality is acceptable in your use case):Ĭan handle polyphonic input. It may be possible to adjust the pitch detector settings to produce an acceptable tracking. Not a shifter but a pitch tracker controlling an oscillator. Some will have some latency, but it might still be acceptable depending on your needs.Īlso note that if you are monitoring your live/dry sound through Reaper, you can avoid latency being applied to your dry sound by disabling PDC for each plugin individually: I haven't found an awesome low latency shifter, but there are some that can be good enough. I have tried out some of the hardware octavers like the Line6 M5 (multi-effects pedal, octaver is one of it's effects) and it sounded good and latency was not a problem. Or are we backing a dead horse here, that VST based octavers at the moment are not practical, leaving us with the hardware octavers. Will be trying out on my son's PC which has more memory today. Reaper CPU load is 13%, Reaper only using 700 Mb ram, so it appears neither the CPU nor memory is being taxed. My computer specs are: iMac 2.8 GHz 4 core, RAM 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, circa year 2010, not an SSD hard drive. Has anyone had success with pitch shifters in Reaper so the sound quality is good and low latency and if so, what pitch shifter did you use and what are your computer specs? either the quality of the sound is not desirable or the latency is too poor. I have tried out the other pitch shifters, like: Unfortunately the latency is too high to be of practical use. I have been trying out the ReaPitch (Cockos) as an octaver effect for my audio (in my case an electric violin) rather than using a hardware octaver.
