buzz forums

The question might not be related to buzz but I was wondering how I can change the tempo of a recorded track? There is this vocal line that I have recorded on the tempo of 130bpm and I want to change it to 128 or 126 (the recorded vocal line) is there any software, plug-in or trick that can do that?

You can use Celemony Melodyne to change and preserve the pitch for about anything. Also wavelab and other comercial wave editors have this feature. I don't know about any free ones though...

btw. : Melodyne also comes as VST-plugin.

You can get a free version of Ableton 8 Lite if you are registered to Soundcloud and recieve their newsletter, I am pretty sure the Lite version comes with the tempo tools. For a 1-5 bpm change its pretty cool even on fully mixed tracks.

If its a really small piece and loop ready (and probably not too detailed or miles away from the bpm wanted) try fitting it with Matilde's loopfit function and then pitching it with a pitchshifter = oldskool

pure buzz solution: use a tracker (matilde, unwield tracker) > set fixed length for the sample so that fits the desired bpm (utrck: 'stretch to x ticks', matilde: effect commands 11 & 12) > use a pitch shifting effect

energy-XT 2 also does time stretching. it comes as standalone and vst plugin. the demo is fully functional except saving.

If the source tempo has a fixed tempo you can divide the target tempo by the original and that will give you the strecth ratio to use in stuff like audition

Yeah I'm with mute here, you'll get better quality results if you pre process it in a stand alone program like Audition.
