How To Achieve Muffled/Low/Deep Vocal Effect

[knova]

I've always wondered how to achieve this type of effect on vocal samples when mixing. This kind of effect can be found in mostly hip hop style of songs. A$AP Rocky uses a similar vocal effect in his Long Live ASAP album.

The video below shows an example.

The vocals are just shifted down in pitch. They definitely aren't muffled, however, you can use a lowpass filter on an EQ if you ever want to get a muffled sound.

Changing the pitch affects the tempo of the vocal track, it sounds like slow motion speaking

Depends on what you are using to change the pitch. Plugins that work in real-time don't throw it off time. I use FL and there are a few ways to change pitch. The method that doesn't throw audio off time just involves turning the "pitch" knob down an octave. If you happen to use the same DAW, it's the pictch knob located next to a "Mul" and "time"(not sure if this one is the correct name) knob.
