I've been working on a track for a singer I work with. I'm old and she's young and the song is an old Whitney Houston track and she'd never heard it before. It's in the starting key of the original, but changes radically during the song - my guide melody she couldn't follow, so having Steinberg's Spectral Layers, I had the idea of taking the original vocal off it and then transplanting it into the new version - same key, no problem but the tempo of mine is a bit slower. As I work in two separate places, somehow I produced the track at one sample rate, and the Special Layers stem in another - so I converted it. but the wrong way, so redid it again and then eventually dropped it into Cubase and the 44.1/48K tooing and froing has done very odd things. I now have the track, but with a voice that sounds like a much older Whitney. Clearly at some point I've done something, but Ive been unable to recreate it. It's not remotely mixed - and a bit faders in a row at this stage, but has anyone ever heard this effect before? I could understand it if it was in a different key - but it is the right one, so I'm at a loss to work out what I've actually done.
