Adobe Audition experts: I need your help!

[bbernardini]

I've got a large WAV file, about 2 hours, 30 minutes. I want to gradually change the speed so that at the beginning, it's running 4.3% faster, but by the end, it's only running 3.3% faster. I get the feeling I use the "stretch" effect, but I can't make heads or tails of it. HELP!

1. I haven't done such a thing myself

but I do believe that "stretch" IS what you want.
try this: in the "stretch" dialog, click on the "gliding stretch" tab, then, under "ratio" enter 104.3 in the upper box and 103.3 in the lower box.

2. That's what I tried, but when I played the preview, it didn't come out.

I've got a reference for the pitch, but it didn't seem to want to start there with those settings, at least not in preview mode.

3. so you do want the pitch to change also?

and you want it to play faster?

then try checking off "resample" in the lower left.

As for the preview function, it's been my impression that either I don't completely understand it or that it's a bit flakey.

4. Yep. Checked "resample" too.

:) Dang. Perhaps I'll just apply those settings and let it run while I'm asleep. See what happens.

5. or you might try it first with something smaller...

or try the pitch bender. I think it's pretty much the same end result as resampled gliding stretch, but the interface is different and who knows how it might be different "under the hood"

[bbernardini]

6. True, but I'm exhausted. May as well go all out, eh?

7. I edited my last post.

you may want to give that a look if stretch doesn't work

[bbernardini]

8. I'll try that tomorrow. Check in to see the results!

:)

9. It looks like pitch bender is the one!

Of course, I now have to figure out my beginning and ending semitones, but I believe that will do the trick. Thanks!

10. is that the same

program as cool edit pro?

[Idylle Moon Dancer]

11. I think so

I know that Adobe bought out someone/thing else, and renamed it.

[Jamastiene]

12. yes, I believe it is. Syntrillium sold Cool Edit Pro to Adobe and it

became Audition. I have an old version of Cool Edit 96. It's easier to work with if you aren't multitracking. If you want to mix things though, I would recommend Cool Edit Pro/Audition. Although, I have to add that I haven't been able to buy Audition, I did try a demo of Cool Edit Pro. If I could afford it, it's the one I would want for being easy to work with.
