I’ve always thought the Bass Octaver effect which was popular in the 80s was cool. There’s a way to get a similar effect using Recti-Fi but in this Premium Video Tutorial, I explore a way to create a similar effect using the usually unwanted outcome on the pitch of adding files with a different sample rate to the session.
Although pitching down by an octave can be done using pitch shifting plug-ins, the artefacts can get very severe. By using the side effects of sample rate mismatches and using X-Form to only time compress, a better outcome can be achieved.
