Myk vs Syncroarts Repitch - A Support Request

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

update on my support ticket: Hi there," Thanks for reaching out. My apologies for the trouble! The issue seems to stem from the way RePitch functions: rather than processing audio in real time, it renders out new audio files and plays them back with the transport, etc... Similarly, it looks for sample rate changes and renders out new matching files as needed so as to avoid time/pitch differences caused by playing back at the wrong rate. In the case you're experiencing, RePitch doesn't seem to be catching the specific sample rate flag and so you're hearing the timed/pitched playback in your render. i've passed your video over to our developers so they can take a look. Kind regards"

Just tested with Celemony Melodyne (first time using it, got a demo) and it renders without issue, so I do not believe REAPER's ARA2 implementation to be an issue. I will say Repitch sounds WAY better and more natural than Melodyne to my ear!

resample using r8brain from voxengo

Hasn't happened to me before. But I only change sample rate when exporting final masters. Best of luck getting this fixed. Looking forward to that review. I'm curious to see if you find the same issue I had with RePitch.

@@HLRxxKarl do tell, what was the issue you had and did you get any support from Syncroarts?

[@HLRxxKarl]

@@LetsTalkAboutReaper Less an issue and more a feature request. Per-note formant shift isn't available in RePitch, and I found my vocals sounded very unnatural without it when I shifted a note down by more than a third. Had to pull out Image-Line's Newtone to save the day there (Melodyne could also work). When I brought it up to support, they agreed that it would be a good feature and said they'd pass along the word. But right now it seems they care more about updating VocAlign than RePitch. Which is a shame, because I loved the workflow outside of that one issue. Hopefully they add it one day.

@@HLRxxKarl I tried Melodyne for the first time today and definitely prefer the "sound" of Repitch. Heck, I enjoy ReaTune... Just really like the pitch preview feature in other tools. I hope to get this issue sorted. I know there are workarounds, but in my opinion, if a workaround is required, something is wrong. And if this is an isolated case, I'm curious to understand why

Sample rate conversion can definitely cause problems, especially for high-speed renders.

[@Tokolele]

Did you try to freeze the tracks ?

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

i did find that rendering the track to a new mono stem track works, theoretically because it preserves the same sample rate, etc

Holy hell, that's weird.

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

agreed. In some ways, i hope that i am alone in this... But i also hope that others can report the same thing so i am not alone...
