That Bieber track, slowed down 800 %

hi guys, I might be late to the party… but this knocked my socks off! … I really have quite the physical sensation listening to that! … not a joke! …
.
.
is this really slowed down 800 percent? … but then it must be repitched upwards right? …

.
.
who does that?
.
.
.I gotta get an OT again :).

If I see 1 mention of OB in this thread I will persoally pour milk into your A4 or AR

wouldn’t slowing it down this much make all the frequencies drop? If some of these pitches were sped up 800x i doubt the human ear would even pick them up. Not that I’m doubting, I’m just curious how this works.

you can speed and slow things without changing the frequency.

Exactly what Tyler Smith says. There are two ways of slowing sound down. 1) You stretch the actual waveform, making a wave take longer to complete, lowering the frequency and thus the pitch. This is an almost literal stretch of the waveform. 2) You duplicate every single waveform that occurs in the sound file. In this way, you don’t change the sound at all, but it just gets sustained longer. Eight times longer in the case of this upload. I hope that makes sense.

you might wanna vista Cocteau Twins stuff at 100% then
.
ps you’re confusing slowed down with stretched
it’s granularized and grown longer - it never lowers in pitch at any stage, unlike slowing tape/vinyl

Yeah, this is done using a program called Paulstretch (or maybe a program like it); it replicates each tiny group of samples within the waveform several times before moving on to the next group, thus maintaining the original pitch.

never came across that…thanks for clarifying! … can the OT do that? (or the AR? ) ? cheers avantronica … will look in to Cocteau in like half an hour, after the 5 min track from bieber is done


Radiohead is awesome at all speed :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Lots of stuff sounds good through Paulstretch

can the OT do that? with the granular and whatever sorcery is paulstretch doing … ???

That was my introduction to Justin Bieber - had never heard of him until I saw that 800% paulstretch video back in 2011. Some kind of uber-timestretch, this is (in my best Yoda impersonation).

it’s having to do something similar to enable multi tempo with no pitch change - i doubt it will be mind-blowing if you push that too far, but i’m not sure - you won’t get anything like as much temporal variation - maybe 4 if you set it up right

hmmm …are there any boxes out there that do the paulstrech thing but computerless? …

sad to hear granular is bringing OT to its limitations :slight_smile:

It;s not a simple timestretch, think of it more like a generative algorithm, based on the slowed down source granules - like a harmonizer in many ways.

The X Files

The pads remind me to Goldie’s “Inner City Life”

so here i am in my first 2 hours of that slowing down thing… man…what a ride! … a lot of things kinda sound the same … muhhahha… still …it is pretty sweeeeeet. …

any plans on elektron building that slomo machine for us? …

cheers all

Thanks for sharing those. It’s beautiful and illuminating.

Illuminating, as the Donna Summer one, to my surprise and delight, sounds a lot like some of the ambient washes I love so much in Blanck Mass’s (1/2 of The Fuck Buttons) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9soZbQS2zH4. I’ve been curious how he created those sounds. Maybe this granulized warping is responsible for it.

Does anyone know of a similar app for OSX? I want to granularly warp everything now after hearing some of the posted links.

I did a similar thing to the Intel Inside sonic logo. Used the built in stretching in Logic + a bunch of effects

Wow! Thank you!

paul stretch is an oldie and there still isn’t a real build for the mac yet that works reliably. I doubt we’ll ever see one.

the algorithm isn’t granular like in the OT. it’s spectral. it uses the fft with one huge analysis window and then randomises the phases.
