How do you change the octave?

Ok, but how can we do this and preserve the duration as well?

@raquii You want to keep the same time and temp for the loop? If it is beatmapped be sure your project tempo and the stem or loop has a beatmap that fits the track. If it is a one shot change just click beatmap in the properties of the sample. This will preserve the time and tempo so it still fits the track.

Thanks for your feedback @360f8, glad you're finding our tips helpful. How long have you been using ACID for?

Wow this keyboard shortcut is freaking AWESOMENESS! ACID is amazing, absolutely blows me away! I never knew about this trick to shift pitch of a loop to any note of the chromatic scale on the fly, very convenient and quick! (it's in semitones, because if you shifted otherwise it wouldn't sound musical)

xMLxGamer: you CAN shift by cents if your trying to tune the pitch of a sound loop exactly to a note (as opposed to a musical shift).

Click on TrackFX on the track, then click Edit Chain. You need to find the "Sony pitch shift" plug-in (this is also where you can add every type of plug-ins you can think of for sweet effects like reverb, delay, distortion, etc). Click add, then you can shift the tone of the track by Cents (there are 100 cents in a semitone interval).

@360f8 thanks for this tip!! but how i can change pitch in cents for a specific clip(not the whole track)??

[360f8]

xMLGxGamer2284: the interval between 'single notes' are not the same, some 'single note' intervals are tones (2 semitones, with a sharp/flat between), some are semitones. (ie. D to E is a 2 semitone interval, E to F is a 1 semitone interval). You have to shift the pitch in Cents if your tuning a sound loop sample to a desired pitch, not semitones. This trick for quick shifts in semitones for musical purposes. Pressing - or + shifts exactly a semitone.

It goes up by 5s, not single notes.. i cant get the desired pitch.
