Greets greets, I have sound files for a particular mod, I do not intend to redistribute them as they are for personal use like so many other things. there are litterally thousands of sound files, Voice to be precise and I wish to mass edit them simply by raising the pitch just a tad, its perfect to me but I've yet to come across a program that does this, I'm a recent to FL Studio 9 its not what I am looking for regard to this, it works wonders for songs and FX sounds for me so thats all fine and well, but as far as I know it does not have the ability to edit thousands of voice files on the fly and save them seperately without going through -each-and-every-one lol.


So I ask, are their programs that can aid me in this endeavor? or am I missing something with FL studio.

nothing? google isnt helping :/

I have not used it for batch editing, but I checked and the audio program I use does batch editing....batch rendering or batch processing is another term you could have used to search, but check this out:

Gave it a whirl went straight to pitch to see how it sounds, for some reason the sound quality splits like the recording was taken on a poor mic every time I raise the pitch a tad, still tinkering around but its not producing the results studio had but of course I've not use this program before :/ thanks for the link, guess I'll keep looking and see what I can do with this.

Which pitch shifter are you using?

The guy in the thread had indicated that he was not using Reaper's pitch shifter, but one called PitchTech for his purposes; string samples in particular.
He did say that he felt that Elastique in Reapers FX was...

"Elastique is terrific in general, on voices in particular I think. To my ear it's right at the top of tools available for this stuff (Melodyne, Serato, X-form, Radius)."

He opted to use another pitch shifter however for his string samples.

mostlikely to my ineptness at the moment but how do I access Elastiqe? I got my hands on the Pitch tools via browesing FX and typing pitch, there I was given several tools, but each of them as stated gives similar results of overcompensating (cracks knuckles) yeah, Im sure this is going to need fine tuning and patience, but any guidance you can lend is invaluable.

Ok, I'll be learning with you, so bear with me if I give incorrect info which I will try to correct. I don't have a lot of experience with the pitch shifting functions but I can direct you to p. 189 of the Reaper user guide (link on their site)..You may already have it, I don't know....

In order to access the Elastique pitch shift algorithm:
When you have a media item on a track you can right click on the item in the track view and select "Item properties"...now look down where you have the "pitch shifting/time stretch mode"...Algorithm menu...Elastique 2.1 pro is the menu. Then in the Parameter menu just below that, there are several choices...depending probably on the nature of your source item. You can then adjust the pitch in semitones in the other data slot above and to the left. Hit Apply.
There seems to be a lot of flexibility in the Parameter choices, and you may have to experiment.

This method may not be the best way to approach batch rendering...I'm not sure, but it seems you would have to assign each of your samples which might be tedious at best.
If you want to pitch shift every one of your samples by the same semitone interval, it seems that a more "global" approach would serve better. There has to be a way to do this on the master buss, and I'm willing to work with you to find a solution, but I don't want to frustrate you in the process, and we could take our correspondence to PM if you'd like. There are sometimes several different ways to do any given task in Reaper, and the manual and searching their forums is the best way to find answers. I will try to "replicate" what you're after (including the best way to batch process) if you could give me some specifics concerning your format, sample rate, and bit depth, and the approximate length of your samples, and how much you would like to pitch shift in semitones. Do you have a sufficiently powerful machine to batch render oodles and oodles of tracks and maybe use more than one instance?
I'll look deeper in the mean time...
[late edit] I think I've found a pretty good working method. Must sleep.

Very well, I shall take this to the PM, I'll supply the information. my thanks ahead of time for your willingness to help, I've patience don't worry, if it was 1,000 I could manage, but its 3,400 files lol so If I can batch procccess even just 100-400 at a Time, I'd be fine.
