Best Time Stretch Vst Plugin

1. Time Stretch Plugin
2. Best Vst Plugins For Reason

I was wondering what the latest and best program is for time-stretching. I purchased Apple Logic 9, but I don't find that quite suits my skill level. I use Audacity to change tempo, as I find it very intuitive to use, and it time‑stretches by a decent amount before degradation is noticeable. I am sure, though, that in this day and age there are better programs for this function. Are you aware of any?

Serato Sampler is a very simple yet powerful sampler plugin that allows you to quickly find, chop, key-shift and time-stretch samples. It features the built-in Pitch n’ Time algorithm, which is one of the best time-stretching algorithms to date. Plugin Boutique has launched an exclusive sale on the ElastiquePitch 2 real-time pitch shifting plugin by zplane.development.Elastique Pitch is the real time pitch shifting.

/audio-mastering-vst-plugins-free.html. The current leaders in tempo‑matching and time‑stretching technology may be more advanced than is necessary for many people. Celemony's Melodyne is a superior piece of software for processing audio in this way, but for time‑stretching and tempo‑matching beat‑based music, something like Ableton Live may be all that is necessary.

Best Vst Plugins For Reason

1. Make Your Pitch. A number of the more creative applications of the Time Stretch function also require the use of pitch-shifting. For example, extreme pitch-shifting can be used in sound design to radically transform a sound, while matching the pitch of a vocal from one track with the backing from another is required when constructing a 'mashup' (unless, of course, you are deliberately going.
2. Waves Vocal Rider. If you tend to do a lot of vocal heavy production, writing level rides can be a time-consuming process. Vocal Rider is a smart, labour saving plugin that does the job for you.
3. Propellerhead Recycle, for instance, is much better than most time‑stretching‑based tempo‑matching software when working on beats, drum loops, and other rhythmic material. Programs like Celemony's Melodyne or Serato's Pitch 'N' Time, on the other hand, tend to be much better at dealing with melodic phrases or full‑stereo mixes.
4. Speedster is an Audio Units effect plugin that pitch shifts and time-stretches in real-time. A clever algorithm allows for controlling (and automating) pitch and speed independently. It can also perform stereo/center separation, so that the user has independent control not only of the right and left side of the signal, but also of the center.
5. PaulXStretch is a VST2/AU plugin that’s designed for extreme time stretching and spectral processing of audio. This plugin is based on the PaulStretch standalone app, aka Paul’s Extreme Time Stretch. The developer notes: The plugin is only suitable for radical transformation of sounds. It is not suitable at all for subtle time corrections.

SOS contributor Mike Senior replies: There are loads of bits of software that will do time‑stretching and tempo‑matching for you and, although I've no experience of the facilities in Audacity myself, I'd suspect that the current state‑of‑the‑art technology, commercially, is probably ahead of what is available as open‑source technology. You don't say what kinds of things you're trying to stretch, however, and in my experience the performance of any given tool depends a great deal on the type of audio material you feed it with. Propellerhead Recycle, for instance, is much better than most time‑stretching‑based tempo‑matching software when working on beats, drum loops, and other rhythmic material. Programs like Celemony's Melodyne or Serato's Pitch 'N' Time, on the other hand, tend to be much better at dealing with melodic phrases or full‑stereo mixes. However, all of these options may well be more complicated to get the best out of than something that's specifically set up for easy working with beat‑based music: Ableton Live, Apple GarageBand, or Propellerhead Reason, for example.
