How is it different from time stretching? fundamentally, its no different. but the term as i've seen it used by digi, steinberg, cakewalk etc. refers to a more seamless integration of it into the DAW workflow. i have to admit that when i saw a demo of the first version of PT to do this, i was totally blown away. just what digi had done with the GUI alone made me sweat profusely thinking about how much work it would be. one example i saw was taking a female vocal line, putting two markers around a particular section of vocals and then stretching/compressing them in time by moving the markers. rubberband can do this kind of thing, but in the demo, the waveforms and everything else move dynamically as this is done. it changes the basic model of what a DAW is from "something that plays back bits of audio files in a specified order" to "something that continually feeds audio through timestretching algorithms with dynamic parameters". doing this efficiently ... i can imagine how to do it, but sheesh, its a huge amount of work (perhaps, as usual, more in the GUI than anywhere else) --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
