I have dreams of owning a 12-string guitar someday, but on my current shoestring budget, that day seems quite far away. So, in the meantime, I figured, "Hey! I'll just record my guitar part and pitch shift it up an octave and... voila... a poor man's 12-string."
So, I selected my guitar track, chose Apply Audio Effects - Cakewalk - Pitch Shifter. I set the Pitch Shift to 12, the Dry and Wet Mixes both to 100% for starters, and all the other values to 0. I chose to "Process in Place, Mono result" and went for it. Expecting to bask in the ethereal, siren song of my new makeshift 12-string, I played the new track.
What the ....??
It sounds like ass! There's a whole bunch of flutter (almost like a rotary effect) on the pitch-shifted signal. Anyone have any luck doing something like this? Is this a bit-depth issue? (My soundcard does not support 24 bit depth if that's required, but it doesn't say so anywhere I could find.)
Also, I tried Transpose, entering 12 for the amount and checking Transpose Audio (only have this 1 track at the moment - just experimenting). Nothing at all happened.
Any insight much appreciated. Thanks!
