ringy high end when pitch shifting?

hi all, is there a way to get rid of that annoying ringy high end when pitch shifting samples? ive tryed different settings were you choose different styles of music and abc and the number part, but its still there

hello digital, its probably in the sample, but inaudible at its normal pitch. These sort of distructive edits can always introduce undesired artifacts, at high values.

i never had anoying sounds after pitchshift... nano is right, it must be in the sample.

interesting... i'll do more investigating.. be back soon

this is so weird when i pitchshift a sample of my memory card that i havint recorded myself, it works great, its only when i record off my vinal, but my records sound quality sound really good before i attempt to pitchshift.... i think the problem must be my scratch mixer, its a bit hissy when its turned up abit, i tryed the tt on its own but the level is way too low, but i pluged a cd player straight into the mp at that sounds good when pitchshifting, so its got to be the mixer, thanks everyone

when you say pitch shift do you mean the pitch shift function in the trim screen or pitching your samples using the tune function in the program screen?

I'm assuming you mean the former, as the latter shouldn't have these problems, and there are far better pitch shifters than the one in the trim screen (it is usable though as long as you don't pitch it too much in either direction and determine the proper original tempo beforehand)

yer i did mean on the trim screen, im happy to put it down to a low level noise within my scratch mixer, its just weird how no one eles seems to have had this problem

can you post a sample? upload i on myspace or supload.com.

I know exactly what you mean man. I've always just assumed it was digital artefacts due to a bad pitch shifting algorithm. Depends on the sample, some will respond well, others you get that horrible high frequency sound. You can usually reduce it a little by messing with the pitch shift settings. And if you don't need high end in the sample, just apply a LPF.

ive always done these type of manipulations out of the box (computer), growin up with an XL, i became accustomed to not using the timestetch. and doing all that stuff in software, which yeilds higher results everytime.

this is not an ideal work around for every1, especially those trying to keep everything done in the mpc.

the more i sample, the more i find that timestretching in general is in most cases completely unnecessary.

there are those few moments when it comes in handy for sure, but in most cases clever chopping, sample looping, and blurring sounds soo much better
