Tropical House is a popular sub-genre of EDM and in this four-minute video from the course Dance Music Styles: Tropical House, Adam Pollard aka Multiplier gives you the lowdown on how to pitch shift vocal tracks so that they sound great as part of your track. Working in Ableton Live, he explains how warping affects the pitch of any audio clips and shows how to use different warping algorithms to achieve different kinds of stretching effects both with and without pitch changes.
