I'm looking for a great pitchshifter to tune songs with the best transparency possible. It's not for my prods, just to re-tune some albums to jam with and not have to constantly tune my guitars. Reapitch doesn't seem to do it very well. At least not for songs/many instruments.
A great pitchshifter to re-tune songs ?

Yes and while some are better, I'm not getting what I want. You can always hear some kind of compression and artifacts.

If Reapitch doesn't provide the results you need, I think you are asking too much from the software! In my experience, Reapitch works wonderfully for everything I'd ever need it for. It sounds funny when you go extreme on it, though!
Back in ancient times I used to use a hardware thingy that did this stuff (not very well). Can't remember what it was called but it was in a ton of guitar mag ads at the time. Jam-something, fuck I can't remember

Ι assume this is not going to be very helpful but the best pitch shifting plugin I've used is the one cubase has built-in.

I stick with the highest quality setting on my daw stock pitch shifting.
Even then going more than 2 steps it starts to sound funky. Maybe 2.5 steps.
Just for lols I crank them down 4 or 5 steps to see how it sounds, but never on a "serious" song.

I've played around with ReaPitch a few times. It seems you need to print it to the track for it to work properly? There's always latency between the note and the corrected note for me when in "live" mode. But after watching a video of how to tune vocals with it, it looks really awesome and I want to play with it more.
It's pretty much just to tune from D to E.
What would be the best setting with Reapitch ?
edit: bryan, didn't see your response. Could you explain what is to "print it" or changing the modes ? That might be it !

You know, print ReaPtich onto the track just like you would an amp sim.
Not sure if that will help; never tried it.

I think he means just render the track with the pitchshifter plugin on it instead of letting it do the job in real time. I doubt that it will change anything.
I did this thing with ReaPitch to write live keyboard arrangements for my band's old songs that were in higher tunings (4 semitones difference, drop C to drop A#). It worked well enough for me as a reference.

You mean 2 semitones?
I don't know about ReaPitch since I haven't used it, but Cubase (C7.5 user here) has multiple algorithms to choose from.
Even vocals turn out great when pitchshifting with the more high quality settings with formant preserving or something like that.
Works like a charm on everything.

Yes, what paul said. Render.
But I never tried it personally, so I have no clue.
You can do manual correction and draw lines sort of like automation in ReaPitch too which seems to work awesome as far as I can tell. I've only used the "Auto Correct" feature which always had a bit of latency.
You will never, ever, in a million years, find a pitch shifter that doesn't add some latency when played live. It needs time to see what note you're playing.
Wait for quantum computers haha. But yeah, it is not meant to be played live for me.. I wanna re-tune some tunes from D to E to jam along. A few years ago I was using Sound Forge 5 and the tool in there was working quite well I must say - Or maybe is it that my ear and "hearing eyes" were not as develloped back then. Those years when a 128 kbps mp3 was considered "high quality" high quanlity encoding.
