Just a quick glance at MicroPitch’s controls and you’ll see it is more than just a pitch shifting effect. I was curious to see if MicroPitch can earn a spot as a mainstay in my mix template.

The micro-pitch effect itself is heard widely across all types of music production, giving the vocal a larger-than-life sense of space among the other instruments, and often adding a beautiful sense of slick sheen across its aesthetic.Įventide, a household name among the leading developers of effects technology in both hardware and software, have ported their MicroPitch algorithm-along with several others-over from the H9 platform to your DAW as part of the H9 Plugin Series. Upon first playback, sneaking it up under the main vocal track, the vocal widened tremendously, as did my perception of what was possible when mixing.įor me, this particular method of achieving the classic micro-pitch effect on a vocal has since been replaced by the aforementioned plugin-on-an-aux-track method, and it’s an absolute staple in my mix template. Instead, I looked on as my co-mixer duplicated the lead vocal track twice, pulled up an Audio Suite pitch tool, shifted one up by several cents, the other down by several cents, then copied both down to a stereo track. He was up, and we’d arrived at the vocal.Īs this was still somewhat in the infancy of plugin development as we know it today-and my rig’s plugin arsenal was pretty limited at the time-my first brush with micro-pitch did not involve a plugin set up on an aux return. We were taking turns at the helm, about 20 or so minutes each-a really fun way to mix.

I was mixing a track with a friend of mine who was older, held more jobs in studios, and just flat out had more experience than me. I remember the first time I used a micro-pitch effect in a mix. With MicroPitch, Eventide continues to port their H9 algorithms over to your DAW-can this plugin find its way into your mix template?
