Slowing a vinyl player down effect in PT

Song: "Motionless" by Better Luck Next Time

It's the last song on the player. It sounds like a record being slowed down. It's about 4 seconds in. I've researched it and found the pitch shifting down works, but the AIR plugin Frequency Shifter with PT 8 doesn't do the trick at all. Any ideas?

You need to do old school pitch+time changing, not the new kind of pitch shift that preserves time and formant and stuff (your plugin). In PT8, I think you could get exactly this effect by using Elastic Audio set to the Varispeed algorithm. This simulates the Varispeed controls of tape machines, which is exactly that -- linked pitch+time.

If you're not familiar with Elastic Audio, it's a little complicated but I learned quickly from the PT documentation so check that out.

I just read up on Vari-Fi from Digidesign. I'm gunna test it and see if it is what I'm looking for.

Vari-Fi definitely does a good job!
