Stretching Samples
« on: January 09, 2016, 06:52:02 pm »
Hi everybody!

Does anyone know how to stretch samples? I mean, if i have a sample playing 1/8 note and i want to stretch it a bit so it can play quarter or half note for example without affecting the sound itself, how can i do it? "I'm using FL studio"

I know pitching it will stretch it, but not sure if that's the best way...

But that will change the pitch, i want to stretch the sound itself without changing it

"Pro Default" and "Pro Transient" are both settings that tend to retain the samples pitch when stretched in FL's sampler

I can't find them, are you sure they're in FL 12?

Positive. In your FL's sampler there's a section called "Time Stretching" It'll have a drop down menu titled "mode" it'll usually say "Auto" or "Resample" by default - click that drop down menu and select Pro Default, etc.

What version of FL Studio are you running?

Are you using some other sort of sampler than the default fruity sampler - like DirectWave or something?

Gotcha, well I just figured out that FL decided to change the title of Pro Default and pro-Transient to "e2 generic" - e3 generic simply being a newer version of that algorithm it seems. So e3 should be what you're looking for.

Set time stretch to Pro Transient. Works perfectly for keeping the pitch the same.

This isn't quite what you were asking, but I cannot recommend this oldschool piece of software enough: PaulStretch!

Seriously, this thing is amazing for stretching things out and making atmospheric madness with them. :)
