Will, BTW, I don't think there's anything wrong with the BlindPTList. That would be news to me if there were. Anyway, I'll copy the list just in case.
I would definitely use the Pitch 'n time plug-in. You'll get far superior results. I don't know if there's a way to marry the results of editing both the pitch and time but, if you keep something in mind, you can approximate the effect. First, keep in mind that with a doubling of speed, a pitch goes up one octave so, if you increase the tempo at the top of the window to have a ratio of 1 to 2, you would need to increase the pitch value at the bottom to read 12, or twelve semitones. To achive the converse effect, make the ratio 1 to .5 and use -12 for pitch. Now, for every partial value like, let's say you only wanted to speed it up 50 percent to a ratio of 1 to 1.5, you would obviously use 6 semitones, etc. BTW, if you're going for a tape speed ramping up or down kind of effect, there is a way to do it with pitch 'n time but it's presented on a graph and virtually impossible to do with a screen reader and there are no numerical indications. It's based on selection and then you're dragging handles. One work-around would be to use a shuttle wheel andrecord the effect in real time. I used this, for example on Kevin Reeves' tune, The Game, the opening song on his album. During the bridge, there's an effect of several sources speeding up and then slowing down at the very end of the tune. I soloed some individual tracks and used the shuttle wheel to mimic the ramping up of a tape deck. I recorded the result in real time to an external CD recorder. In this case, any recorder, mp3 or even cassette would do the track. Then I re-recorded the various tracks back into the session onto separate tracks, edited and positioned them accordingly. Again, the Pitch 'n Time stuff involves editing the second value at the top where it says 1.0 1.0 Edit the second field. Think of that second value as beingthe destination. 2 would be double and .5 would be half or fifty percent of the original speed. At the bottom, there's a numberical value of 0.00. Positive values will raise pitch and negative will decrease pitch by cents. 1 equals a semitone or half step.
