Hi
I have a completed song - 12 Audio Tracks and need to change the tempo of 4 bars in each verse (3 verses). I prefer to have a gradual speeding up over the 4 bars so could do it by Tempo in each bar increasing slightly or is there some other way?
But... I've tried using the Time-Stretching in Real Band and it just hangs up forever. Today I tried a test using only one bar of one track and set it to slow the Tempo 10bpm. It came up with a warning that it will overwrite data on the track. So I copied and pasted just that one bar into a new, empty track. Well it seemed like it was doing something but it came up with 'One Consolidated Files to Process' and nothing happened. I gave up after one hour. So it couldn't even time-stretch one bar!
I considered buying Waves Sound Shifter but just cannot get it to install in Real Band. Someone years ago posted something about waveshells etc. and I followed the instructions but could not get anywhere with that. It looks like a good program though.
Does anyone have any suggestion of time-stretching software that would work with RB? Or even better... is it really possible and feasible for me to do this in Real Band? If so, I would love to see a list of things I must do to achieve this.
The tracks are one Vocal, Drums, Bass and various other instruments. I just paid CA$750+ to have a vocalist record the vocal track and do not want to go that route again when I should just be able to time-stretch each track.
Thanks in advance.
Paul

RealBand 2017 does not have the same capabilities as 2016. RB2017 crashes every time I try to modify a mono wav file by stretching or transposing. I use the 2016 package... I wasted good money on 17

Paul, Download and try Reaper. It's not necessary to purchase it as it is fully functional as a demo. https://www.reaper.fm/And here's a detail, 15 minute tutorial on time stretching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sQVeghwRsIHope this helps, Noel
