    How do you transpose a song from C major into the relative minor A minor?

    is it possible just by pitch shifting?

    You can not
    you can modulate from C maj to A min, but it will be another "theme" (possibly similar to your original)

    No. :no:

    Uh, I think you may have misunderstood something.
    A melody written in the major will work over the relative minor.
    edit: And yes, as said above, you cannot make a major key song into a minor key song.

    You can modulate so that he tonic changes from C to A (relative minor). :)
    Edit: Roberto already stated the obvious, obviously.

    Transpose your song (in major key) 3 half-steps down, then change the below degrees to fit into the minor key:
    3->b3
    6->b6
    7->b7

    Transpose. Move every note down a minor 3rd. Or move every note up a major 6th.
    Modulating is not the same as transposing, but if that's what you meant there are infinite ways to get from C+ to A-... (C+, Bdim, A-) (C+, E7, A-,) (C+, Bdim, E7, Am) (C+, B half dim, E7#5, A-) ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect

    If you want to hear some unique sounding AutoTune that sounds different than Antares AutoTune, CrispyTuner, Waves Tune Real-Time etc, try out zplane reTune, because it uses Polyphonic AutoTune and it can be used in Real-Time, it sounds totally different than Monophonic AutoTune VST's and key and scales changes are very noticeable with Polyphonic AutoTune, unlike Monophonic AutoTune.

    You can use zplane reTune to force a voice or song into any key & scale with Polyphonic AutoTune in Real-Time, that's actually it's main strength, I have like 100 custom scales saved as presets lol.

    That seems to be the advantage using Polyphonic AutoTune instead of Monophonic AutoTune, because the key & scale change is more noticeable with zplane reTune Polyphonic AutoTune.

    I'll show you 3 different examples, here's my same voice recording using zplane reTune to force it into 3 different scales with Polyphonic AutoTune.

    Notice how they all sound totally different from each other, and they probably wouldn't sound much different from each other if i used a Monophonic AutoTune plugin like Antares AutoTune, because it uses Monophonic AutoTune.

    I listened to your zPlane examples last time you posted them in someone's thread and I didn't find them as revealing as I know of the technology.
    So you're a dev, right?

    I am not a dev, i am just someone who has been using zplane reTune and experimenting with it since 2016, because it's Real-Time Polyphonic AutoTune offers more possibilities than the typical Monophonic AutoTune.

    zplane reTune is one of my favorite audio plugins, because it's the only audio plugin that does a good job of Real-Time Polyphonic AutoTune, and Zynaptiq PITCHMAP does a bad job of Real-Time Polyphonic AutoTune.

    Ironically, my other favorite audio plugin is Zynaptiq Morph.
