    hey ive used vegas for like 2 years now yet ive never found a way to animate audio effects such as pitch shifting or playback speed. do i have to split the part of the file into very small pieces and edit those pieces individually or is there a way to use envelopes or something for that sort of thing? thanks

    Not knowing exactly what you want to do, try this first: You can change the pitch of a track by holding control and putting your cursor on the end of a track to push or pull it to compress or expand it. You can also go to ‘Options’, ‘Preferences’ ‘General’ tab and click ‘Settings’ then check or uncheck the “Preserve Pitch…” box.

    If you want to change the pitch without changing the track length then you need to apply an audio effect. SVP 12 has Pitch Shift under audio FX. Right click on the track to choose Audio Event FX or click the ‘bowtie’ on the end of the track to bring up Audio Event FX. Then choose “Pitch Shift”. This little effect works pretty good. I use it to change my soft spoken voice.

    Yeah I’ve had the same frustration with pitch shift. Would love to know how. I split it and apply the effects to each little event.

    It would be cool if it worked like Levels, where you can double-click on the little levels line and add an “anchor” and then slide up and down.
