If you're dealing with a short sample like your cup click, just pull the Window Size slider to the left. This makes it handle the sample in smaller chunks, and once they're smaller than the whole sample, it'll start working.
You’re the best source of information for cinematica out there. 1,001 “courses” or people playing their music or teachers explaining the obvious but a gap for actual soundtrack composers
THIS is the stuff we need to know about in the actual job
This is also an effect found in Audacity....called Paulstretch. Free.
And you have the audacity to tell us now ;-)
Love the result!
Thank you so much for this! I've been looking for some software to smooth out the sounds of my floppytron!
Give it a go
Nice, I didn't know about that. Thanks for the tip.
I have actually never heard of this trick. Its quite smart because you can create whole new sound spaces! thanks
Wow, this video made me subscribe. I haven't heard of Paul's Stretch but see it instantly usable. Thank you!
I like the content you produce and the way you show it. Thanks for doing it!
That's very cool. Thank you for cluing us in on it!
I completely forgot about this program! Used to play with it all the time. I'm diving back in!
Same here - thanks Guy!
I've seriously always wanted to do this. THANK YOU for the vid, good sir! I am absolutely going to be spending weeks using this.
This is awesome Guy and right up my street. I will be experimenting with it this weekend. Great video as always
I am one of those who actually didn't know about this. Thank you! It is so great to discover great things after have been doing this for a while. Now, I am just a little bit ashamed for not knowing it...
Guy, thank you for sharing this! I did not know of this very useful software, so I have benefited greatly from the time and effort you put into this video. Cheers!
Thank you so very much for sharing the existence of this program with those of us who hadn't heard of it. It's absolutely brilliant, I've already used it in a new cue.
yeah..indeed. same here...priceless discovery today for me, as newbie in the ambience music..buona musica.
Very cool. Thanks for the tip.
Fantastic !! i am going to try this. thanks for sharing
Guy just makes me happy and shows me things I never knew existed. I'm just coming to the world of composing more orchestral type works after decades of recording other types of music - I remember using a 4-track TASCAM and dealing with tapes - modern DAWs are just magical to me. I've learned so much from this channel so far. Thanks Guy!
Thanks, Guy. Whenever I see examples of time stretching, I am reminded of my first compositional and avant-garde experience with musique concrete. The class was challenged - what can you do with a single sound? I took the single sound of a breaking glass and made a “story-based” programmatic composition of 22 minutes (later revised to 9 minutes in a class at Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center lab). The musique concrete was in Vienna, 1971-72. No synths, keyboards or anything. Tape recorders, mics, and audio filters. Actual physical magnetic tape, razor blades, tape splicing blocks, and long loops and textures by playing tape loops around microphone stands using several tape recorders. I learned a lot about “sound” as music. Thanks for reminding me of a great learning experience. One day, I may try to recreate the experience digitally. I enjoy your videos a lot, Guy. Thanks again.
You're wasting your time having an air conditioner on with the door open!
You beat me to it. LOL
Awesome, thanks!
That was fabulous.
I remember using Paul stretch years ago, thanks for reminding me about it.
One thing I’ve always loved doing is finding a track like a Brian Eno type thing then pitching that (which I know is a bit different to this) but you can find all sorts of different sounds in there to sample. They’re so unrecognisable from the original but they can often provide some really good inspiration for a new piece of music.
As a side note I really enjoy your presenting style :)
i don't understand how it can sound this good, really impressive, thanks for the gem, guy!
I think I've been living under a rock!! Thanks Guy!! This is great!
Thanks Guy. I will download this to my mac tomorrow.
Excellent demonstration of the tool. It's evolved a good bit interface-wise since this vid was originally posted. I take everyday mundane sounds (think factories, machines whirring and clanging about whilst they make things) and turn them into ambient, layered, weird soundscapes. It's such a fun tool. Endless possibilities.
Paul Stretch is epic, been using it for years
absolutely fantastic
I love the track you wind up with at the end of this tutorial.
I’d forgotten about this and it is pretty cool stuff!
Awesome Tutorial and Beautiful Sound
You're right, Indian music has no chord progressions, but it has hundreds of scales called Raagas. The melodic instruments are usually played over a drone called a Shruti, especially while soloing. But the drone isn't used when you have a full band of sorts with the bansuri flutes playing the melodic motif, the harmonium lending itself to the harmony and the tablas giving the ryhythmic element to the song.
Interesting, thanks.
@@christophercelaya glad you found it interesting. Music is so different all around the world and it's so interesting to study and listen to music from across the globe. As an Indian I have learnt so much by listening to my culture. In terms of melody, I think Indian music is extremely rich, mainly because of the number of scales we have. Really fun to analyse and understand 😁
@@5ammy13 thanks very much for sharing your authentic music passion and detailed interest. bless you.
@@umbertomaresca6192 you're welcome 😊
Thanks Guy, will try this and hope that I can get to use it on my Mac and then on Logic
Fascinating. Love that setup of yours. The first time I heard of Paul stretch was when I was messing around with the Audacity software.
Sounds like the remnants of Jason's soul. Carpenter would be proud.
Thanks Guy, this is new to me.. I shall download it and have a go :-)
"There's almost no trace of him or her..." UNLESS...you click on the name at the top of that webpage - takes you to his own webpage and tells you all about him! (Blame it on the heat!) :) Very handy tool though, thanks again for another handy vid.
Thank you very much. 👍
The thunder and rain just arrived and so i get to have a cup of coffee thanks to the cooler air.
Then Guy goes and uploads a new video. Life feels good for 22 minutes. Perfect 👍
Btw.. did I miss the "What's in the box episode"? It's some sort of music box presumably, something that's being sampled? Oh and I loved the track. You basically wrote my back catalogue there, I do love some ambient. 😉
Channeling your inner Delia Derbyshire, sounds awesome, Thank you once again for sharing Guy. Reminds me of Harry Gregson Williams Equalizer score, take that as a compliment because he probanly spent a fortune where as you making it approachable for those of us currently out of work and broke. Thank you.
Nice time stretch algorithm! Didn't know about it. Thanks!
Guy, your copy/reverse/paste trick has reminded me of an article by Gerry Anderson in TV Century 21 comic around 1965/6 which I read avidly as a child. He described making a 'spaceship approaches then flies away again' sound effect using the same technique with piano chords on tape. My dad was not happy to see me crouching over his prized Grundig with scissors aloft!
TV21!!! Memories.
Radical! Tubular! Dig it!!
Thanks for this :)
My publisher has air con in his studio. I'm now seriously tempted.
I love your videos, you remind me of the nice grandfather I never had. Thank you.
What a great find, thanks Guy. I can see this being super useful for creating sound beds! And there's a python version too (needs some work), but to be able to script it. Augghhh suit you sir!!
As a musician, I could sit there all day and work with you learning music theory.
awesome and inspiring
Thank you sir. Interesting to be sure.
Guy Mitchel-Jarre in the house. Sounds amazing. 😄
This is awesome thank you! I love the PaulStretch preset in Audacity, but this stand alone version is even better! It’s time travel in sound! 👍
It really is
@@ThinkSpaceEducation If you're on the original version, click on the Process tab, then experiment with the octave mixer section, it takes it to a whole new level! You can mix in various octave transpositions of the original! Also, lookout for the later version, version 3 with a more modern interface over at: xenakios.wordpress.com/paulstretch/
Amazing program. I've been using it for many years.
A very good review of Paul stretch very inspiring 🙏🎩
Paulstretch is very addictive, I've lost myself for hours on end experimenting with it!
Awesome👍🏼
Amazing. I was just typing in a suggestion of a dash of JM Jarre inspired ARP and bingo, you added your 'wompey thing' :)...
Lovely!😁👍
5:46 Is it weird that I heard that Flute sound as if it was coming from my home or maybe do I have bad earphones?
i recently bought a shakuhachi (flute). This is beyond awesome! Sugoi!
I have a digital version in a korg library..woowwww amazing..
Also you should try ++bubble , it's a grain/pitchshifter/granular free effect
Also , there is another version of this plugin called PaulXStretch (free tho) that have a lot of improvement in terms of GUI look/settings and things you can do with that and the best part is that you can download the vst so you don't need to run it as a program anymore :)
That was awesome.
Thanks a lot!!
I love it! Six years ago I wrote a 50 minute ballet score based on Paul Stretch trated sound snippets - it's simply a great sound design tool! Try to slow down a piano chord to the max, amazing structures!
Thank you Guy for sharing the existence of this fantastic software that will be very useful. I've found the ports for Mac that works on Catalina too, if you'd like I'll share the links.
It’s great I’ve been using it for many years.
The possibilities are endless.
So hot! Close the door!!! LOL - Fun vid as usual Mr Guy!!
Entertainment genius you are sir. Thank you!
Some of the bits sound like the Logic Pro synth plug-in "Sculpture." Very cool!
i used it with full songs of mine and imported the slowed down version to the project as risers, transitions, athmos etc. quite nice bc you get fx and stuff to sound similar to the rest like fractals. :)
Hey Guy, how do you go about streaming from a Windows PC? How are you able to share/record your audio and video at the same time?
Great little open source tool, isn't it!😉
Incidentally- since a few commenters have mentioned his name already- I commend unfa's videos to those interested in open source music-making more broadly (with a specific emphasis on EDM); his deep-dives into FM synthesis using zynaddsubfx were very educational to me, as someone who'd never really played around with that genre much previously.
Best wishes from the "other" Sussex!😁✌️
Stinkin genius!
love paulstretch, it's amazing.
You can also use a PaulStretch filter in Audacity btw. Works great. I can't find a version of that tool for Mac Catalina.
Nice!
I can totally see this being the title theme for a horror movie, imagining a drone shot flying in over a clear lake in a quiet forest and this droning sound hits just as the title comes on...
Or "Bladerunner 3"
Guy the OT Berlin Inspire 1 and 2 bundle is on sale for the price of one, any opinion on those? Good for a basic professional orchestral setup?
It’s a fantastic bit of software................been using it for awhile now.......................first release was way back in 2006
An "ancient looking" GUI doesn't stop me. Sometimes it's even very pleasant to use without too much eyecandy. One of the reasons why i STILL love the freeware program TS404.
It would seem that, for the python it can't deal with BWF or anything more than 16-bit, but, wow, what a tool. Playing with the window size gets some amazing results. Setting it to 0.01 on myself say "Hi there" and stretching it to 10 seconds gets a bone chilling horror style to the voice!! Oh my, and running the same settings on the previous output just creates something very interesting. Thankyou Guy, I have my new summer toy!!!
This guy gets it. 😍
How do you know what note the cup is? If you want to play a C note on your keyboard or a riff?
I kept thinking of OMD's Joan of Arc and the other tracks of their album Architecture & Morality.
Textures of mysterious ancient places.
This broke the curse of 2020! 😁😁😁
"Am I regressing??" We all are, sir. Rapidly. And "Thinks" was, if I remember rightly, Bluebottle from The Goon Show.
Hello Guy, just came across your video and it is fascinating. I have always been interested in amazing stuff like this, I have a couple of guitars which I don’t play very well but I maintain an interest . I also have model railways which I show on TH-cam and am interested in adding some bang to my intros, this might be a way. So I will give it a go. Thanks for sharing👍🎸🎺🎤🎧🎹🎼🎻
I use it all the time to recycle old music in new music, combine mild stretch with pitch freq shift and after export reverse
That's nice!
There's also a (free) VST plugin implementation of Paulstretch called PaulXStretch!
Used way back & it’s very cool... ridiculously long stretch for texture
Big streamdeck! What do you actually use it for? Mine gathers a lot of dust...
I know this from way back and recently downloaded it again. Didn't use it yet though. I must say that fl studio also has very nice stretch capabilities which I use quite often.
Hey Guy, is there a vst plugin for the wompy thing? Google sadly doesn't seem to recognize the highly technical and advanced term of 'wompy thing'.
Kilohearts trancegate aka the whompybthing
I always wondered if it was just me that starts with Cm a lot, but no so does Guy, and here in my fav inversion too.
Wow, thank you Guy! That's incredible :)
As a lover of Paulstretch when I found it in Audacity my issue with it is that everything has this breathy sound as a signature... and as such I feel I always have to EQ it out now.
