It doesn’t change the pitch it just helps match for timing in the event that you do alter the tempo. It’s more of “expanding the tails of your slices” then time stretching, because when you throw a sample in Recycle and create slice point and put it into a program like Reason, it uses the now longer tails to compensate for tempo adjustments. Now that that’s explained, (I did so so everyone can understand what the difference is between time stretch and pitch shifting), Recycle has a similar but different style of time stretch. You might apply the elastic audio rhythm to a track in pro tools and be very pleased, till you pull the tempo down far enough that the kick happens then a second later the hi-hat etc. Depending on how far you go up or down with the tempo, the loop you’re stretching could sound right or real choppy.
In Pro Tools/Cubase nowadays they have things like elastic audio, so you can create warp points (just like Recycle/Ableton) and it is able to adjust the loop to the tempo you set without changing the pitch. The only difference is that this isn’t really time stretching because it speeds up or slows down what you pitch. My “time stretching” is typically done on the MPC by Up pitching or down pitching whatever I have on the pads to meet a certain length or just change the sound. I personally use Time Stretch when I’m doing Post production work (sound FX for movies) because it helps keep timing/pitch, but that’s the only time I really use time stretch/elastic audio.
Below is Castro’s post, followed by my reply. In a TBC ( The BeatTips Community) thread about drums, core TBC member Castro Beats offered up a great breakdown of the differences between Time Stretch and Pitch Shifting.
