Do you guys use anything else besides Live to do this?

doesnt rolands synth do a spiffing job using 'variphrase' technology ...whats it called, V-synth or...X-synth or something. It has a touch pad, which is like a clock in that its round and you trace your finger around it either clock-wise or anti-clockwise to warp and stretch whatever sample you've loaded it........really did a good job of making rubber out of the original sample
bing bing!
I use the timestretches available in the other software I have:
Sonar 5 (which uses the Acid timestretch format/algorithm)
Adobe Audition 2 (uses a proprietary format).
Reason - using the REX format, which is a beatslicing approach of course, and is great for percussive material.
I don't think that there is a great deal to pick and choose between them to be honest. Live's "Complex" mode is overall the most impressive timestretch I have heard though, particularly because it works with massive chunks of audio (not just four bar loops) and on complete mixdowns.

that doesn't mean that others don't work well enough either. but that's simply the best. digidesign was 'hunting' him down to get the algorithm licensed of him, they actually wanted it exclusive, but he was clever and knew what he has created, so you can 'enjoy' it in serato and future products of him as well.
if you ask for the best, there you go that's the one.Serato Pitch n Time, but it's a Protools plug in. the complex mode in Live is OK, but not great.

Character isn't always bad. Live sometimes makes the sound cartoony. I don't know how else to describe it.
