Changing the tonality of a music track: basic tools and principles for their use

Many of us love to sing, preferring to perform our favorite songs to the soundtrack with a cut out vocal part, popularly called backing track. But sometimes the tonality in which the composition is recorded is not suitable for voice. In this case, you need to change the key of the track. However, not all so simple. Even professional programs may not give the desired result. Consider what needs to be done to get the best quality sound possible.

As you can see, there is nothing particularly complicated. However, remember what was said at the beginning. Raising or lowering the tone is not recommended in the range of more than 2-2.5 semitones, since if it is exceeded, the composition will too clearly lose in sound quality and naturalness. The same thing applies to pace. It can be changed up to 10 bpm (beats per minute). If these two tools are used in parallel, the range of possible settings is significantly reduced.
