Shaky vocals from pitch shift?

When you pitch shift a song a few half steps (audio wave), I've noticed the voice and melody gets "shaky." Does anyone know how to make it smooth?

I already have HQ on.

Try putting it on complex mode as well. I find that always cleans things up a bit...

Thanks Mouka! It does sound a little better.

threatening the singer with violence usually fixes any vocal problems for me.

Pitch shift makes the sample sound like Crap Period . IMHO

i guess the quality of Live's pitch shifting is limited because it works in realtime...

if you want really high quality shifting (especially for vocals), you probably need another app to do the job, something like Melodyne or Auto-Tune...
