Stretching A Sample

[Preach]

adobe audition ruins your sound wave if you stretch it. everything's distorted. basically, what software offers a good tempo changer that doesnt distort your sound wave?

 

[Diaz]

By stretching a sample do you mean slowing without changing the pitch?

Look @ your settins in audition it should have diff types of stretching. But if not use cubase.

It has Drumtime, Realtime, MPEX Or sumshit i use it but it takes time maybe its my comp, but when i use that it wont, sound distorted, i will show u n example.

my guess is you mean taking a part of a song and making it longer. this is a common thing called looping. and it's easy to do if you have a program like acid pro. click the song "Almighty" on my page or "Gunz Blazing" to hear how those samples came out. those were cut and pitched with Acid Pro.

now if you mean making it longer (slowing it down without changing the pitch), i don't believe that's even possible without the masters and cuts from the original sample. so pitching it is the only way to make it longer or shorter.

altering tempo without altering pitch

lemme know too please

Its obvious he is not talking about looping because he mentioned stretching.

You need to adjust time without ruining pitch, you can do this by hand, or rather, by ear, but thats hard. There are plug ins that do it for you, or vice versa will change pitch but not time, which you can use to fuck with vocals for example to get a dirty south style.

It just depends on what audio program you are using, I cant comment on anything outside of Pro Tools anymore because well, if its not PT, Im out of the loop (pun intended)

 

[Diaz]

You can do that?

Yep.

Example.

First is the original speed, second is stretched, third is stretched without altering pitch.

 

[KAMIKAZI]

What program did you use for that?

Cool Edit Pro.

 

[Preach]

Rukas suggested Apple Logic Pro. i am going to look into this.

i'm gonna guess logic is a big application though, and takes up a lot of system resources, so if anyone knows another program like cool edit (that loads up fast and got a lagless interface even on a computer that's a few years old) just drop the name in here and i'll check that out too. might need it for the occasional quickie.. i hate to watch loading bars and pro logic would be for work that is in the finalizing stage. as far as i am concerned.

i think i had an instructor say you can do this is cubase sx, but i dont remember exactly. but if you should find a copy of cubase sx send it my way

 

[Dj Dant]

yea like i was saying , I use Cubase for that. I'll up an sample.

 

[P.U.]

I use gold wave to do it >>> Time Warp >>> Similiarity
