    Gradual pitch reduction

    owiseone61755 Community Member

      Hi,

       

      I'm brand new to audition but I have a music clip I would like to gradually reduce the pitch over the last 10 seconds of the clip.  Kind of like a fade out but with pitch reduction instead.  Can someone tell me how to do this?  Does audition use key frame like premiere?

          Which version Audition do you have?

           

          The effect you need is called "Pitch Bender" under the "Time and Pitch" section of the Effects menu.

           

          The only thing is, it was present in various older versions up to and including AA3.0 and is back in Audition CC...but disappeared in CS5.5 and CS6 while they were concentrating on making Audition Mac compatible.

           

          For effects like your pitch reduction, Audition does...in effect...use keyframes but they work slightly differently to Premiere.  Instead of being on the main time line you'll get a blue line on the specific effect menu--click on the line where you want keyframes then drag them up or down to control the pitch (and/or speed for that matter).

           

          One thing I should mention is that, as the pitch change gets bigger, your sound will be more and more artifical.

            In CS5.5 and CS6, you can also use the Audition algorithm in the Stretch and Pitch effect to perform a linear pitch shift.
