sound garble when changing keys

[bendrew]

I did try switching Tempo to normal mode, too..Try drop out setting from lower to higher number. And before I submit this issue, I already did a lot of tweaking, so my last chance is to use older version and see what happen..

It's a digital key changer, there is no getting away from the little warble that is experienced. I hear it too when I change keys (this goes back to the days of discs & players). More predominant lowering a key and worsens the lower it goes. Especially in the lower frequencies going through a nice 1000 watt sub - you can REALLY hear the warble.

Normally, this is a big concern for everybody using this program..I am using an alternate karaoke program and i don't have this problem. So, for me, If this is a problem, why not removed it from hoster. If we cannot use it properly, what's the point of putting it in.. I cannot buy that this is because of digital technology. I don't have this problem before, so i think we need to fix this.

I do see that these posts are almost two years old (it's now Aug 2016), but this is the first time I've visited the Hoster forum to see if others experience "warbling" when changing keys in Hoster. I understand that Hoster uses a digital key change technology, but KeyRite is also digital and seems to work just fine. For my own stuff, I sometimes change the key before importing a song into Hoster, but this is not feasible for on-the-fly key changes. Is it possible to use the same algorithm in Hoster as we have in KeyRite? Or are there other ways to eliminate warbling? Could it be sound-card dependent?

Retro Man - Thanks for this post. The Hoster key change 'warble/sound artefacts' have concerned me for years. I just this moment tried a couple of the usual problem tracks using KeyRite and the key change does indeed work fine. So I agree that there is a glitch in Hoster. Really happy to learn of the KeyRite work around.

I have complained about this for 3 years and was told every time I spoke with someone that no one else is reporting this problem. Not only is it still not fixed I just downloaded the new hoster version and it does from song to song without playing music or showing lyrics. Very frustrating program.

I share with your frustrations. i still have the problem but I'm using a different software now and I'm much happier. I think mtu gave up on this problem so i gave up too. Hope you can find a solution for it.
