Ableton/Live/UG/29 Audio Effect Reference/35 Shifter/06 Shifter Tips
- Duplicate a drum track and put Shifter after its Drum Rack. In Pitch mode, move or automate Coarse with Delay on: high shifts give crisp metallic echoes, low shifts long drawn-out delays. Keep the copy quieter for movement in the background.
- In Freq mode, move Fine by no more than about 2 Hz. Phasing comes from the wet and dry signals interacting, so keep both audible; it is strongest at a 50% mix.
- In Ring mode, frequencies below hearing (about 20 Hz or lower) make a tremolo. Wide with a small Spread adds stereo movement.
