I use Nuendo. What is the most common method that people use to take someone's speaking voice and turn it into a melody for a song?

Hi,
I'm assuming this is a rookie question -

I'm working in Cubase and have a multiple track project and it was suggested that a vocalist "may" be a little flat and that I might try increasing her pitch. Also he mentioned it's done all the time. He's not been mixing but this is what he heard. So I experimented -

Hi Guys & Gals,

Hi,

I've been wondering how common a practise is it to subtely change the pitch/speed of a track when mastering it - I'm talking about mastering to tape here, so let's say + or minus 1% to 4% speed... or more? Is this ever done?

Any ideas would be welcome,

Thanks -

i'm looking for a piece of hardware that will perform a certain function and have had a rather hard time finding it. there are some vst plugins that will do this, but i really would like a hardware unit that will accomplish the same thing.

Hi

Anyone found a miracle tool for pitch shifting a capella choirs recorded in rich acoustics? We have tried the Eventide Orville and the Prosoniq MPEX3 for Pyramix, but they all make heavy artefacts on harmonically complex material.

I would like to do some basic voice recording to my PC via an ordinary microphone.

I need to be able to change the voice(s) any number of ways but would specifically like to be able to have the pitch of the voice(s) change so that I can essentially have the helium-voice-effect and at the other end of the spectrum the slow-monster-voice effect.

All the pitch shifters I have found are formant based designed for a single monophonic sound. Are there any good pitch shifters in VST format that can work just like an Eventide 910 or 949? I'd love to pitch up and down a few cents, and even better I'd love to feedback the effected sound back into the pitch shifter to create that killer 70' effect.

Any advice?
