How to Make a Chipmunk Voice!

[@GrayMotion]

Oh hell bud! Spit my coffee out. Was not expecting a Sunday morning Sensei Chipmunk! ❤

Lol! You should have heard the original singing... terrible enough to spill the whole pot! 😂😂😂

For the singing, you don't have to do octaves. Pitch shift your MUSIC track up or down, sing along to that, then shift your voice in the inverse of the pitch shifted backing track to match the original. That is, of course, how The Chipmunks were done pre-digutal. Slow the music track (which lowered the pitch) sing to that, speed the voice up.

So, we now know the "secret" knowledge held by those sneaky software developers for all these years. I started with HF 3 till current version, and never heard of the pitch adjustment. All my chipmunks sound like Arnold Swartzenagerersrsesr (whatever).

Lol, that's really funny! 😅

Is that effect a recent post Artlist addition to Hitfilm? I had no clue it was there.

[@HitfilmSensei]

Actually, it's been there for years! 🤪

​@@HitfilmSenseiSince at LEAST Pro 2017, since I covered the Pitch in Essential Hitfilm 04.

@@HitfilmUniversity On June 2, 2017 I released a tutorial on creating Darth Vader's voice that uses the Pitch effect in HitFilm Express. According to the old HitFilm manuals, the Pitch effect was added to HitFilm 4 (both Express and Pro).

​@@HitfilmSenseiYou've edited the comment since I got the email notification. I was gonna say v4. Mostly cuz that's the last time ANYTHING got added to the audio toolset. I still say the Doppler Shift effect is gold. For some reason that's actually a pretty hard effect to find in most tools and plug in packages, and with Hitfilm's being able to apply Doppler Shift by tracking the movement of an animated layer, it's pretty easy to match audio and animation.
