Using Little Alter Boy – Little Alter Boy Soundtoys
By Freddie HarbJune 30, 20211 min read

Want some unique tips to using Little Alter Boy? This plug-in is a great plug-in for pitch shifting and audio manipulation. I use this tool for a variety of features. It’s simple, easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and a great tool for vocals and instruments.
It can help get things pitched properly to your production. Or help things sit in the mix. Want to alter a voice to change the tone, how about alter pitch and add drive and character to an instrument or synth? The possibilities are endless. In this video I go over the basics of the alter boy plug-in and some unique tips and tricks I use weekly in my music productions.
I share three tips of mine that I use all the time on vocals with this unique plug in. Using formats or pitch adjustments can alter the sonic characteristics of a sound. Another tactic is to layer the alter boy, and the link button makes the pitch shifting and formant knob do some wacky stuff. It’s pretty nifty what this thing can do!
