Good day!

I have a question.

How do you guys go about pitch shifting, pitch sliding, etc.?

I mean, mixing is my thing, but somehow I find it really cumbersome when it comes to pitching for effect. You hear this a lot in HipHop and I don't necessarily mean the tape-stop effect.

When I want to do it, I usually come to a result in the end, but not as quickly and easily as it probably should be.

I don't use Pro-Tools.

Now I use Reaper (previously - Sonar, Cubase, Nuendo)

Do I need a turntable?
Is there a plug-in I don't know about?

I posted an example so you would know what I am talking about.

Philly, please don't ask why I would want to sound like that.

I need my toolkit to be complete.

Thank you for your answers, I appreciate it!

Mr. Graal.
