[LAD] Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch

2010-09-30 Thread Louigi Verona
Hey guys! I have two questions. 1. How does Sound Stretch work? It is incredible the way it can produce a tone which has no noticeable vibrations, just a wall of sound. How is that accomplished, in layman terms if possible :) 2. Can this program be jackified and is that a lot of work? --

Thanks for all the info guys, I will read about FFT and all that. I hope it will answer my wonders as to why there is no vibration in sound. As for JACK support would anyone be interested in adding it, if it is trivial? Would love to have it in my audio chain. As for real time stretching,
