I use the Time Stretch that comes with Sony Sound Forge. It's kind of a rough one, but I'm ok with that. A friend of mine showed me a timestretch she did on some Mac software, and it was much smoother. I'm actually not that impressed with Paulstretch - it's too reverby, and makes everything sound like Tim Hecker, rather than a stretched out version of what they originally were. Also, Paulstretch doesn't let you pick the exact final length - instead you have to calculate how many x the original gets the length you want. (So 1.5 x a 2 minute track makes 3 minutes.) -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 7:35 PM, Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com> wrote: > On 7/11/12 4:32 PM, Matt Davignon wrote: >> >> One of my favorite things to do is to bring a >> song down to half speed, then time-compress it to its original length. >> The song is totally recognizeable, but the rhythm gets noticeably >> changed, due to the bits taken out. > > Cool creative technique, Matt. > > What software do you recommend for doing this, Matt? > > By the way, there is an amazing piece of freeware software (I think it's > called > Paulstretch) for PCs that can radically stretch audio. > > I love playing a string instrument arpeggio or some tuned bells and then > stretch a 20 second phrase out to 3 or 4 minutes. > > It creates a beautiful, yet ever changing harmonically consonant ambient > track. > I wish there was something that could do this in real time, but I > imagine it > might be > to CPU intensive to do this in real time. > > rick walker > > ps I read once that Richard James (aka Aphex Twin) was paid to do a > remix > of Depeche Mode or some other famous band.........that he didn't like the > song at all > so he compressed it over and over until it was just a burst of noise > that he > used as > a backbeat and wrote his own track around it, submitting it as a 'remix'. > This cracked me up seriously. >
