I always here about great artists using softwere to change their voice to a wonderful one lile Britney Spears but i was wondering are there any sound or voice editors that i can download and do the same thing. If you know any progams like thoses we hear about can you please name it and a litte info about it. TY

Lol woww.. that'd be interesting if someone knew/had/shared a program like a sound editor...

I'm not sure exactly what you need. If you want to change your voice for comedy value more than anything then try something like Funny Voice which is a free pitch changer for recorded voice samples. If you want to be a bit more professional, and still free, then the best option is probably Audacity with a plugin or two to adapt voices.

Not for free, but with Audacity (which is free), you could probably modify the pitch by hand until it sounds close. However, keep in mind that accent and speech style also changes what one sounds like.

If you're an aspiring music producer or just want to learn more about audio editing/producing/mixing and such, Sony Sound Forge is a program that is definitely worth checking out.

It does, however; have a steep learning curve and is quite pricey. If I remember correctly, it was over $250 when I bought it (a few years ago). But before shelling out your hard-earned cash, try the demo to see if this is really for you.

The demo can be found here: http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/download/step2.asp?DID=559


The trial version gives you 30 days to play around with the program but you can't export to mp3 format (shouldn't be a problem cause .wav files are more flexible when dealing with digital music and can easily be converted to mp3 format if need be)

A quick rundown of some of the more basic things you can do:

Add fades
Crossfade features to mix tracks (great for remixing)
Time stretching/compressing (useful for beat matching but sometimes, the sound quality goes to hell)
Add effects (chorus, flanger, reverb, to name a few)
Pitch bending (from britney spears the chipmunk to darth vader)
Time markers & cropping features for sampling and creating loops

and I believe the most recent version even supports virtual studio technology plugins (many of which are free to download and try)

Give the Sound Forge demo a shot. You won't regret it if this is something you want to get into.

A good, free program that could work for you would be Wavepad. It can change the speed of the song, the pitch, implace echos, different room sounds, modify the song's equalizer, and more. It can be found here: http://www.download.com/WavePad/3000-2170_4-10526522.html

My choice would be Sony Sound Foundry 7 this is a professional studio software that helps you with a lot of features so that you can do whatever you wish to a sound file. Try this. You can down download this form the SONY site.

I prefer Audacity since it has some decent wave modification tools and is able to export to the modern, very compressed OGG format.

Sony Sound Forge alows you to export into all the formats of Audio available even to xm, a rarely used format.
