Time Stretch

This function allows you to change the length and tempo of the selected audio without affecting the pitch.



The available options are:

Define Bars section

If you use the tempo setting, you can set the length of the selected audio and the time signature in this section.

  • Bars

    Specifies the length of the selected audio, in bars.

  • Beats

    Specifies the length of the selected audio, in beats.

  • Sign.

    Specifies the time signature.

Original Length section

This section contains information and settings regarding the audio that is selected for processing.

  • Length in Samples

    The length of the selected audio, in samples.

  • Length in Seconds

    The length of the selected audio, in seconds.

  • Tempo in BPM

    Allows you to enter he actual tempo of the audio in beats per minute. This option allows you to time-stretch the audio to another tempo, without having to compute the actual time stretch amount.

Resulting Length section

These values change automatically if you adjust the Time Stretch Ratio to stretch the audio so that it fits within a specific time span or tempo.

  • Samples

    The resulting length in samples.

  • Seconds

    The resulting length in seconds.

  • BPM

    The resulting tempo in beats per minute. For this to work, the Original Length must be specified.

Seconds Range section

These settings allow you to set a range for the time stretch.

  • Arbitrary Range Start Time

    Allows you to set a start position for the range.

  • Arbitrary Range End Time

    Allows you to set an end position for the range.

  • Use Locators

    Allows you to set the Range values to the left and right Locator positions, respectively.

Time Stretch Ratio section

Determines the amount of time stretch as a percentage of the original length. If you use the settings in the Resulting Length section to specify the amount of time stretch, this value changes automatically.

Algorithm section

Allows you to select a time stretch algorithm.
