Cubase 15: Sound design with the new Pitch Shifter plugin

Demo summary
The demo shows how to use the new Pitch Shifter plugin to tune guitars down an octave while utilizing the built-in drive and formant controls.
Step-by-step
- Open the Pitch Shifter plugin on your audio track
- Tune the pitch down an entire octave
- Increase the Formant control to approximately 32%
- Increase the Drive control to approximately 69%
- Set the Mix knob to 50%
- Route the signal into an amp simulator with high gain
Options
- Tune things up an octave instead of down
- Add harmonies using the plugin
Tips
- Use the Studio Chorus before the Pitch Shifter to create a foundational 'sauce' for the sound
- Add reverb and use EQ to tame the mid-range after the pitch shifting and amp simulation
Highlights
“This thing is awesome for tuning things up an octave, down an octave... it's nice to kind of have it just baked right into Cubase.”
