JoeMcCarron, Xantor is correct. In Audacity, once you have selected a portion of the wave form, the effects are available. Now, my tests so far have resulted in pitch shifting my voice from normal to munchkinland. So I recall that their are significant differences between male and female voices. Different voices have different characteristics. The first is the principal tone, and then additional overtones. The combination of these is referred to as timbre (tamber). So now I am looking for two more things, first, additional VST plugins to add harmonics to the voice, and second, a technical document that describes the differences between human voices. So that is where I am at now. Are their any music theorists in the house who can "pitch" in? :) Sincerely, WagnerTheUndead
