Question

using goldwave, is it possible to make it sound like your voice has 3 voices...if that makes sense? one high pitched, one normal, and one lower? all at the same time?

I guess so. It takes a bit of common sense. Create 1 high pitched 1 low pitched and 1 normal pitched version and mix paste em over each other.

but, can you paste over, and still have the original one there? like, i have file 1, file 2, and file 3.....i paste file 2 over file 1. file 1 would dissapear...correct?

No, I don't think it would. Since it's pitched, it IS a different waveform, if slightly similar. Just make sure you backup the original and keep notes on the pitches you do.
I'd restrict it to only two waves too otherwise it gets a bit messy, but you don't have to keep the original the same pitch.

You can get some cool effects by mixing such pitches. See attached. :)

ahaaa i didnt notice the mix-paste button ^_^ thanks for the help

LOVE mix paste. Really usefull tool.

yes, im starting to discover that. wow, i cant believe i never noticed it. Aother question, is there a way to raise the pitch of a voice without speeding it up?

You may kick yourself, but I think I asked this myself long ago - click 'preserve length' in the Pitch menu. :P

GW isn't that good for pitching, though - I find it makes waves sound a little 'slimey'. CE and SF are much better.

You would be surprised at how often I throw sounds over to another prog. Cooledit noise reduction. Normalization and mabye some dynamic editing in soundforge, back to cooledit for pitching and reverbing, sometimes back to soundforge again, finally a save in mp3 format. Arhghl! :D

You were right about CE having several of the features of SF, as recently I finally broke my 'set style' and started recording in CE and doing the dynamic graph and normalisation in it.
Well, *obviously* I knew you were right, I was just happy with using GW and SF in recording. I think it was the exact effects in each that Mingvana taught me - and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
