Oh my baby. But it's really only good for drum loops. Or loops with rhythmic TRANSIENTS!!
As far as time-stretching? Any program will do it. But time stretching almost always sounds shoddy. Time stretching is a bit like pitch-correction. There are two ways to do it.
1. Creatively. OH PSY TRANCE = TIME STRETCHING AND WEIRDNESS WITH PITCH SHIFTING
2. Technically. The old saying of polishing a turd. You can have amazing results with fixing the tempo of a sample or a track if it's only SLIGHTLY off... or fixing the pitch of a vocal if it's only a semitone or a few centunes off...
But trying to say stretching something from 140 to 110 BPM. GAZUNGAH! Sounds like . Same with trying to fix a vocalist who is several semitones off, and is always ing up notes.
In a way. I really hate the digital era... because I get vocalists at school who just say "OH can you fix that in like AutoTune?"
And I just want to say "Can you sing better? Oh you can't? Well auto-tune can't make your singing sound like Charollete Church"
Anyway. I digress. But I hope it was usefull. It's all about the small fixes that makes things sparkle. |

I'd say autotune rather than melodyne (but I'm suspecting they might need both in order to sound even remotly on tune :p )
DJFreaq: You are right in your principle that you can't timestretch it to much without it being noticable. But with todays tools it can be done to a much bigger extent than before. With Live going from 140 -> 110 BPM or the other way around aint a problem, you have to go for a bigger gap to get that horrible result now :) |

haha are you crazy? Ableton's timestretching algorithms are worthless to my ears. They produce so severe artifacts that its not even funny :)
Cubase's advanced timestretch mode is the only plugin that I know of that is transparent upto +-20-30% |

well cubase is fine for timestretch work but you need to have a tempo calculator as well...
