Pitch shifter

[deejayen]

I was reading through an old guitar magazine last night, and it said that Cubase includes a pitch shifter that can be used to lower a guitar track by one octave to emulate a bass guitar. Is this included in LE4? I had a look through the effects, but couldn't see it.

I had a look through the effects

Shouild have spent the time looking through the manual, utilising the search function of your PDF reader.

[deejayen]

Well, I did that as well, but couldn't see anything, but thought I'd double-check here before looking for a suitable VST. Did you find anything helpful in your copy of the manual?

[N8]

Yes

Thanks for trying to teach me how to fish, N8. However, I’m pretty new to all this, and I’ve not yet caught sight of a fish, nor had so much as a nibble. Where would you advise me to cast, and what bait should I use? Er…I mean…which of the 4 or 5 manuals should I look in, and what search phrase should I use?

I’d also appreciate it if anyone else would chip in with an answer to my original question before I take up whale hunting...er…I mean change to Sonar.

deejayen: Le4 --- I dought it.
Cubase 7 has musical mode located in the "Pool"
and by using Elastique - Pitch, it may lower a guitar enough to emulate a bass guitar.
Elastique - Tape, emulates an Analog Tape recorder with vari-speed.
That setting may work for you also.

PS: Just wondering--- Have you tried a Bass guitar setting on a keyboard
or just get a Bass guitar.

deejayen: Just did a little 2 minute Bass Experiment with my Fender Strat Emulating a Bass.
I did this with Vari-audio in Cubase 7. I did this by letting the program Analize
the Part (high lighted it) and lowered it all down an octave like you talked about.
I also used my Fender P-Bass for comparison. I mixed them up front
on purpose and both are EQ'ed nearly the same.

The 1ST 8 bars are the strat then the P-Bass , then the strat - P-Bass etc.

PS: Interesting but I'll stay with the P-Bass

PPS: The two might not be to bad together
