How to change pitch only, without jittery effect?

[Butcher Wing]

Hi, sorrry if this has been answered somehere before but i did search for as long as i could.

For ages now i've been desperatly trying to find out how to change the pitch of a wav audio track without changing the runtime/length , but keep the same quality or as close as.


Basically I have Adobe Audition 1.5 and it has great tools for changing Pitch & Tempo at the same time or individually.

But when i change the pitch by itself it creates a slightly jittery result, or occasionally tiny skips in the track.

I know it must be possible to change the pitch of an audio track only without losing quality, but how?

Adobe Audition has - settings you must get right to achieve this and they are -

Splicing Frequency:
------------------------
Overlapping:

But i just can't find the right combintation of the 2.

Please please can somebody help me?!! :confused:

Even if it involves getting a different software.

the better results you can get with sony sound forge built-in plug-ins, or with Waves plug-in: http://www.waves.com/Content.aspx?id=284

Ok, i tried Sony Sound forge (Nice program) but it had the same pitch changing tools/settings as Sony Vegas has, so still left a slightly jittery effect, missing the occasional beat of percussion.

So, what is 'Waves? Is that the full name of the software? I'm trying to find it.

I only want to change the pitch of a PAL speed/pitch soundtrack into a NTSC pitch track, without changing the tempo/length ofcourse. And without losing quality :(

AFAIK, isn't possible without losing quality.

Try Time Factory (http://www.prosoniq.com/main/timefactory-2-windows/).

Audacity has separate filters for pitch, tempo and duration. Perhaps some combo of the three would work for you. No cost (except time) to try.

Waves produces directx plug-ins which you can use in every sound editor that supports it.
