>by Couldntve » Mon Mar 07, 2022 8:46 am I would hugely appreciate pitch shifting being added, where you could change a note, but not have the speed change in the piano roll. It would be incredible if there was a setting to toggle this on and off in case people are used to the way it is now. >by Monospace » Mon Mar 07, 2022 11:40 am Problem is, this is typically practically impossible in a DAW for music. Logistically, the only way pitch shifting can work is by changing the speed of the sound. To change pitch while keeping length/speed exact, you would have to generate extra samples as fill-in. This is a messy job. Any application that claims to pitch-shift, either changes speed of note, or changes the sound in advance and cannot be edited as easily, and cannot be modified in realtime. It's like changing tempo without changing pitch, except a lot more complex, because with tempo you can just remove samples. But I'm just guessing here, from whatever I've seen so far. Someone else will have to confirm.

Good point because on a turntable the pitch control is really adjusting the speed in a micro-adjustable way.
If one of the free tools do the job for you then that's fine but don't think you're limited to linux just because you have linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)
>Wine[a] is a free and open-source compatibility layer that aims to allow application software and computer games developed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. ... The selection of "Wine is Not an Emulator" as the name of the Wine Project was the result of a naming discussion in August 1993[15] and credited to David Niemi.
BF1942 with desert combat mod, which is strictly a windows program with a mod on top of it, runs like a charm with wine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ityCZ2CapI it's an old game but you get the idea, it's a FPS game to begin with, it takes a minimum of resources to run, and the engine isn't super optimized, so for a music software you have rooms
So... Since many of the best music softwares tend to be paid/proprietary and on windows, and given that in the music industry there are standards, and that chances are, most of your friends are on windows and will likely use those industry standards...
Well maybe you should give wine a shot with a the windows program of your choice https://www.makeuseof.com/install-wine-ubuntu/
I'll have to try wine again. I can never get it to work when I would install it off the depository. Somewhere I have an old bootleg cubase program that would do exactly what I'm asking.
