Stretching samples for remixing
View this Thread in Original format

what do you use to stretch samples that are going to be remixed at a different tempo?

And how do you do it?

I'm looking for a program where you can just imput the original BPM of the sample and then have it stretch to the new BPM you input while keeping the original pitch. Anyone know if this exists?

It is important that it can be done this way because I need to stretch samples that have no beat like vocals.

Audacity does this. How much do you want to stretch it?
Adambomb337
The original is at 120 BPM and I want to raise it to around 135 BPM.

sony acid does this but the strech while keeping the same pitch thing kinda sucks

utilize ableton my friend
MrJiveBoJingles
Ableton works well for this. If you don't have Ableton, Audacity's speed-change feature works okay.

I usually use Timestretch in Cubase, then export it to .wav ,then import the loop back into Battery etc to be more flexible.

I find if i use audacity, if you change Tempo too much, all it does is chop up the sample, then skip through to each point - which usually sounds terrible.

Timestretching in Cubase keeps pitch perfectly IMO

It's called time stretching. Any current DAW can do it, i suggest you rtfm. :)

MessiahProject - I've tried stretching and re-stretching a audio file in adobe audition and it slowly gets corrupted and can come out as a cool effect.

echosystm - I know what time stretching is. I'm seeking new ways to sync audio in this manner and I'm asking you how you do it and with what software. And what does "rtfm" mean?

Stretching vocals can often be very difficult because there is NO BEAT. If you know the original sample's BPM, then there must be some program out there that allows you to input that data and make it stretch to a new BPM.

import the sample into cubase. set cubase's bpm clock to what ever the original bpm is. now open the sample into the editor and select all. right click and choose timestretch.

it will ask for the output bpm. so set that to whatever you want.

hey presto..:)

rtfm means 'read the in manual'
