Baby Audio: Pitch Drift
A free, fluctuating pitch-shifter plugin.
30 October 2023
Geared towards making hard tasks easier, Baby Audio aims to enhance the creativity of anyone with a vision and a laptop through the development of audio plugins. Established in 2019, the company has garnered industry recognition — with its Crystalline plugin being nominated for Sound On Sound’s 2023 SOS Awards, and the Spaced Out plugin winning Future Music’s 2021 ‘Plugin Of The Year’ award. In that short time, Baby Audio has grown its user-base to more than 100,000 passionate music-makers worldwide.
Baby Audio’s Pitch Drift plugin introduces pitch fluctuations that range from subtle instabilities, giving sterile tracks a more organic feel, to intense pitch drifting with distinctly detuned results. The effect was inspired by the varied tuning temperaments of acoustic instruments, and introducing these subtle differences, especially when combined across multiple instruments, can result in a much fuller, richer sounding mix.
Features:
- Allows the adjustment of pitch fluctuations, from ‘subtle organic drifting’ to ‘severely out-of-tune’
- The main slider sets the ‘Depth’ of the fluctuations
- Hover-over the screen to set the ‘Speed’
- Powered by the same Drift algorithm found in the Super VHS plugin
