Right .. your Soundcloud awful good luck
Back on topic though, when I want to fix the pitch of a sample what I do is:
1 - Find the sample in windows explorer and zip it into a .rar file (I'm sure there's a suitable mac alternative)
2 - Once that's done I'll upload it to a media sharing site like zshare or mediafire (depends on what kind of tone I'm looking for)
3 - After it's done uploading I'll email the link to myself, then I go download it on my laptop
4 - When it's done downloading I'll unzip it and load it into a track in Reaper then route it to 5 other tracks
5 - Then I level match all 5 tracks so that the sample's peaking at its original level
6 - I then bounce that down to a new audio track and if the original sample was too high, I'll pitch it an octave higher, if it was too low I'll pitch it an octave lower (will fix this in a few steps)
7 - Then I rewire Reaper into FL and the audio comes out of that from my laptop's 1/8" port into an 1/8" to RCA connector
8 - Then I've got an RCA to 1/4" cable that goes into the mic-in port on the tapedeck of my stereo
9 - RCA out from the stereo into my desktop soundcard and into a Reaper project file with a sample rate of 22.05hz. This should make the sound playback at half speed
10 - Then it gets played from Reaper over my desktop's external speakers and gets recorded
back onto my laptop with it's internal mic into a project file with a sample rate of 88.2hz (Then we convert this back to 44.1hz which fixes the sample rate conversion from the previous step)
11 - Then I'll pitch it back up/down an octave (from step 6) to it's original pitch in reaper and chop it up into slices about 16 samples long and bounce all of these naming them appropriately (Slice1, Slice2, etc.)
12 - I'll import all of the slices in FL and rearrange them into their proper order
13 - Then if the original sample was say 2 semitones flat, I'll go to each slice channel and pitch it up 2 semitones.
Then once all the slices are at the correct pitch you're done!
Don't forget that if you're triggering the samples with midi, you'll have to offset your midi-on triggers by the length of your slices (like I said, usually 16 samples long sometimes longer depending on if I alter my project sample rates) If you're just sequencing with audio you can select all the slices at once and copy/paste them.
Anyways that's (briefly) how I do it, and it sounds great! Hope this helps someone
