i&#39;m thinking about how you&#39;d do this,<br><br>and the picture in my mind is of a single 2 second long clarinet note with a hihat being hit after about 1 second.<br><br>so, if you were going to stretch or compress that, you&#39;d want to preserve the parts with the most &#39;colour&#39; ...which i would guess would be the attack of the clarinet and then especially the attack of the hihat.<br>
<br>[bonk~] will find those bits for you quite easily. so you can just mark the sections bonk~ finds and set them as &#39;do not touch&#39;<br><br>but the hard part is stretching the remaining sections.&nbsp; i think ableton and melodyne have good approaches for this, and from what i can gather it&#39;s a good granular approach with the grain length being constantly adjusted so that the playback doesn&#39;t introduce too much AM effect.<br>
<br>i have a feeling they also do a pitch analysis, so that the playback grain length can be adjusted longer for lower overall pitch and shorter for higher pitched sections.<br><br><br>i could be completely wrong of course.&nbsp; wouldn&#39;t be the first time. :)<br>
