perfect timestretch software?
View this Thread in Original format

hey guys.

can someone help me. i want to find some software that will timestretch to exact bpms while maintaining perfect sound quality. i dont mind it adjusting the pitch up or down, just as long as it doesnt do that annoying effect with low long note bass lines.

any ideas??

hey mate...
Ableton or Melodyne...

i always liked the timestretch function in wavelab. anyway, there will always be some aliasing at extreme speed changes i think.

fruityloops also offers a pretty good timestretch function ;)

I dont think u will find a better timestretch than the one Cubase offers.

Such a thing does not exist. Some programs like Ableton, Audition, Cubase, etc. will get it pretty close but it will never be perfect. The way those algorithms work, if you want to speed up your clip, it sounds pretty good because it generally systematically removes very, very tiny samples from the clip. So, you maintain close to the same quality. By taking a clip and slowing it down, you can't exactly add samples to extend it, so the algorithms use interpolation between the samples. Again, not perfect.

has anyone used pitch n time? its a 700 usd program that supposevly is the best at managing this problem.

Time bandit (noone under the age of 20 will know what I am on about- but its good)

Logics time machine is pretty good too.

Ultimately, you are stretching something... it will never sound *perfect* due to the nature of the process.

Love Time Bandit. I remember BT mentioned this program in some interview I saw.

cubase has 4 timestretching algorithms for various uses.

Timebandit is amazing and gives the best results...Cubase sx 2 actually used prosinqs algorithm for time stretching.

I was positive that if you use abletons repitch warp mode then there is no degredation to sound quality whatsoever and for this reason it will be the mode for DJ's.

Am I wrong? I'm sure I've read this in numerous places...
