Time stretch acting weird

[Mushka]

Hi, I am still on DP 8 but trying DP 9 as I upgraded to High Sierra. I record voice overs and use the time stretch function a lot to fit the timing on the commercials. I always did it in DP 8 without any issues but in DP 9.52, the resulting audio has some kind of delay that makes it unusable. Is there a new setting that I don't know? Time stretch is crucial for me! Help is appreciated! Thanks.

There are new ZTX time and pitch stretching algorithms in DP 9.52. Pure DSP is preferred for vocals. Read up on audio options. A bit of trial and error may be in order to get the best results. Check Preferences>Audio Options.

Thanks, I tried but so far, not much difference. Do I have to start a new project in order to set those preferences up? I'll keep trying.

No, each soundbite can have its own pitch shifting mode. R-click to select the mode.

My Tuning Preferences:
• For time stretching/compressing without pitch change, ZTX.
• For fine-tuning vocals, Pure DSP.
• For changing character of spoken word (faux James Earl Jones), ZTX.
• For transposing vocal track (within a few semitones), ZTX Formant Corrected.

Thanks! Those are great tips for when I do tuning. However, I'm not touching the tuning, I am stretching the time and when I do, the results give me a kind of delay on the voice.

Look further into the pitch preferences (right click, as noted previously) and go for the "Solo" or "Monophonic" (forget labeling - not at DP at the moment) options to get best results.
