There are some other problems with the feed that I can't explain. The quality goes into the shitter at the end and sometimes a bit gets cut off. Fortunately the posse outro is very long, so you don't usually notice much, but I have no idea why that's happening. sox is a very widely used tool. Also, for some strange reason, re-starting the mp3 on an iPhone (which they all do automatically for podcasts, at the point where you last listened to it), normally rewinds a few seconds to give you context for the last sentence you heard, but on the tempoposse, I've seen it rewind up to 5 minutes. Absolutely -no- clue why it does that. It can't be stray time markers, because the tempo process goes mp3->wav->tempoed wav->mp3 - there's nothing left of the original mp3 other than the ID3 tag, which gets copied into the tempoed mp3 from the original.
If anyone has any idea about any of that, I'd love to hear it. In the mean time, when I have some time I'll cut a 30% and a 40% spedup version, as well as some feedback to the posse with a sample so the unwashed masses who haven't heard the Good Word about the tempoposse can become believers as well :P On Apr 3, 5:53 am, nevster <[email protected]> wrote: > 20%'s not enough! > I use Windows Media Player and play it at double speed. > There are a number of apps now that do on-the-fly speed changes with > pitch correction but I haven't found any that do it better than > Windows Media Player.
