I hope it’s the right term. I’m primarily looking for live pitch-shifting for funsies. Even a little delay in the output is alright for me.
I spent a while futsing around with wireplumber gui/pipewire to get Lyrebird to work to no effect. I tried routing my mic audio through Lyrebird and sometimes through sox, and then forwarded their audio to obs, but - no effects got applied. Sounded like my regular mic sound. I did make sure to activate pipewire to manage the audio instead of just pulseaudio.
Hoping for a recommendation before I spend another evening experimenting.

EasyEffects has a real-time pitch filter that works for me. I don’t understand how it works, but I didn’t need to mess with audio routing, I set applications to use my mic and EasyEffects somehow still applies the filters.
Thanks! I added a preset for mic noise canceling someone added here https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Community-presets
And it worked so much better than what I used in obs. I added pitch effect at the end of my filter list, too.deleted by creator
If all you want is pitch shifting, Easy Effects is probably your best bet. When I looked in to voice disguising a year or two back, all the other options were either bad at real-time or too complex to be worthwhile for casual use.
Just keep in mind that pitch shifting is trivial to reverse; it won’t make you anonymous.
I usually do my effects on Reaper, pitching with ReaPitch plugin. I open JACK2 gui and use wiring graph, route audio input to reaper, then I route live output elsewhere, either voice chat or obs for recording. Works like a charm with anything, anywhere.

Yea. It’s a whole workstation, but since I’m doing audio shenanigans in it already, it was a simpler choice to just use what I already had than trying something else. Maybe it works out for you, maybe you’ll find it complicated. Wouldn’t hurt to try if you got no better choice though.
