Awesome timestretching trick using Windows Media Player

[admbmb]

Found this by accident. This could be real helpful for remixes or just weirdness to sample from. Its not smooth and interpolated. But it is unique.

Just load up your song or audio source in the player. Then go to Go to the View menu (can also just right click in the player pane). Then select Enhancements and Play Speed Settings. You can speed up or slow down the audio without changing the pitch. Sadly, I was trying to find a simple player to change just the pitch...the hunt continues for that one.

why not try reason demo? just load your sample into a sampler and record that into your SP

I have Reason. Its a bitch to load whole songs into, though. I want to just use a small program to load whole songs and just pitch em down. Not transposing, actually pitching down like you would on a turntable.

SP-606's software the P606 has pitching (turntable style) and timestretching. Possibly the newer Cakewalk software has it.

Thats all Roland has to do to make a great timestretcher. Use pitch tune to speed up or down a sample and use it with pitch shift effect to stay on key.

if u open up ableton live,

to change the pitch by speeding up/slowing down:
have the preferences set so that it warps when you load it, and have the warp default setting to repitch,

then from then on all you have to do is drop a track onto the arrangement and change the bpm setting to speed up/slow down

or

to change just the pitch, do the same as before, but set the default to complex rather than repitch, and use the pitch transpose control to pitch up/down

I was mainly looking for a way to slow large samples (whole songs). So I can nab little pieces off at will with the SP. I have Audacity and it works, but its slow to process. I miss the old ACID.

Oh, and my post was accidental, there...I thought that was the same program I used to use a long time ago, but it wasn't. I'm searching for it right now. It was literally a single turntable emulation you loaded mp3's into and was designed by a guy so he could use two laptops to mix through a real mixer.

I'll keep looking. It is basically exactly what you are looking for. Plays audio files with a pitch fader.
