pitch/speed bend

Post by stein138 » Thu Oct 30, 2008 6:40 pm

What about adding a pitch bend function, as same as fade in/out?
I mean, if you want that the pitch of the selected segment will bend X notes up/down? (like a siren sound)
So about speed bending. Many times I want to decelerate slowly the song or vice versa.
I've never found function like those!

[is it the right forum for asking that?]

you can do the speed bending in 1.3 by adding a Time Track and manipulating it.

Umm... what do you mean manipulate it:?: When I'm trying to add another time track,
it says that my version doesn't support multiple time tracks.
However, I didn't explain my self clearly:
Sometimes I need to slow down the end of the song/melody, without changing its pitch.
With time track enveloping I can only change both speed&pitch, not the tempo only.

Anyway, thanx about the time track! didn't know about that. Is there any other use for it?

I'm no expert with this functionality - but my understanding is that you manipulate it similar to the Envelope Tool. See this page from the manual that is being developed for the 1.4 release: http://www.audacityteam.org/manual/inde ... ime_Tracks.

I seem to remember a fairly recent response from stevethefiddle about the use of Time Tracks - you might try searching the forum

This is possible using Nyquist functions, though I don't know of any plug-ins that have been written yet to do this.
