Timestretch 1 minute to 10 (or more)

computo, you say it's a waste of time - I'd have to agree with you, although it can't have taken more than an hour to get all the settings just right. But by debating the artistic content of the project is just another way of validating it. Instead, why don't we granulate our own tracks and regurgitate them as marathon-art ourselves ?

well, that would just be unoriginal, now isnt it?

I needed the 1000% bell time stretch for a 'realistic' film sound effect
& had tried a number of other methods with no useable success.
Any process i tried which wasn't based on spectral analysis/resynthesis
created lots of unwanted artefacts such as the clicks etc that you mention...
The resulting bell tone is glitch free

Fondue do you want to send me a sound
& i'll do a time stretch on it for you? PM me if so....
or I can send you the stretched bell file (altho its a 9MB file)

& vaguely related....
to my ears it sounds very much like ableton LIVE time stretch artefacts
are featured at the start of the Beck song Emergency Exit on Guero album

i did the 1000% time stretch using spectral analysis/resynthesis in Audiosculpt
which is a two step process - analyse the spectrum of the source sound
(ie transfer it into the frequency spectrum) and then resynthesise it with the
altered time scale... theres a good article here:

nice, thanks!

I think Soundhack has a quite similar process.

thanks for the info.

But then I often listen to quite ambient stuff when I am working on website code, so it fit right in with my other playlists.

I was impressed with the relatively glitch free stretching myself, I expected worse. The tonalities were interesting to me - still very definitlely strings and vocals, voices, etc.

Although I guess it depends what you like as music whether you actually enjoy it. I still listen to Fripp and Eno's Swastika Girls after 20 years. Its a similar deal for me

Welly welly fellow druq. lol.
