Creating Chipmunks Version of Any Song
Yes, you can create chipmunks version of any song and its not that hard. You just need the song and Audacity (which is a freeware). If you don’t have Audacity, then you can download it for any platform – Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Follow this process step by step:
- After downloading and installing, open Audacity
- Press Ctrl + O OR go to File > Open and open the song
- The song will load up in Audacity. Now press Ctrl + A to select the entire song
- Now that the entire track is selected, go to Effects > Change Pitch and in the Percent change field enter 115.500 and click on ok. Notice the “Preview” button, you can also preview the song and if not satisfied then increase it to 121.440. You will need to experiment this until you are satisfied with the result. But for most, 115.500 does the trick easily.
- Go to File > Export and save this new chipmunks song in your preferred format E.g. MP3, WAV, WMA, etc. To save the file as MP3, you will need to download and install LAME. LAME is a library that allows some programs to encode MP3 files and that’s why Audacity needs this to save the file as MP3.
