There are very specialized filters for extreme stretching, e.g. ‘PaulStretch’ is popular among the ‘800%’ stretch-meme crowd. But it adds a distinct ethereal quality. Audacity seems to have this filter, and might be alright at stretching in general.
Command-line `sox` also does slowing down better than ffmpeg at speeds like 0.7, but dunno about 0.3.
- TooCreative 7y agoInteresting. Just tried PaulStretch. While it sounds more "logical" without the strange micro-repeats, it takes all of the punch out of the music. On youtube, at x0.25 a drum hit goes from KABOUM! to something like: KAKAKABOBOBOBUMUMUM While with PaulStretch, it goes to something like: FFHHAHAHCHCHOHUHMHH No kick, no pressure behind the lower frequencies anymore. It sounds like it is far far in the distance.
- aasasd 7y agoSounds about right, that's why PaulStretch is typically used to create otherworldly ‘ambient’ soundscapes. Something like Brian Eno turned back into proper Eno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnoX3E2WFcc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnoX3E2WFcc
