How to Timestretch Smoothly?

I'm trying to slow down a songs bpm but when using Timestretch feature in wavelab, it works but its a little rough sounding when slowed down, its there a way of doing it so itll sound like it wasnt really "touched" ? something to make it sound smooth...

thanks

Depends how much you want to slow it down, the more the rougher. That said, make sure you're using the highest quality and turn off preserve pitch for best quality.

maybe do it in sections... so if you want it double the length then make it 1.5 of the length and then stretch it again by what ever percent is required to make it double... that might help...?

Ableton does a pretty good job!

Ableton or find something that can do granular synthesis so the pitch doesn't get changed, but the tempo does. I know Absynth 3 has that feature but that's a VST...

Well you can do it so its almost super smooth. You just need an engine that has granular synthesis and for the size of the grain slices will be 1 sample "As in sample rate, so thats 44100 slices "or grains" per second O.o"

Would work :-D
