SoundTouch Audio Processing Library

SoundStretch Audio Processing Utility

SoundStretch is a command-line program that performs SoundTouch library effects on WAV audio files. The program is a source code example how SoundTouch library routines can be used to process sound in other programs, but it can be used as a stand-alone audio processing tool as well.

SoundStretch features:

Reads & writes .wav audio files
Allows very broad parameter adjustment ranges:
- Tempo & Playback Rate adjustable in range -95% .. +5000%
- The sound Pitch (key) adjustable in range -60 .. +60 semitones (+- 5 octaves).
Beats-Per-Second (BPM) detection that can adjust tempo to match with the desired BPM rate.
Full source codes available
Command-line interface allows using the SoundStretch utility for processing .wav audio files in batch mode
Supports processing .wav audio streams through standard input/output pipes
SoundStretch uses the SoundTouch library routines for the audio procesing.

Example Audio Clips Processed with SoundStretch

All these clips have been created by manipulating original sound file with SoundStretch utility.

Description	Play Clip	Duration
Original audio clip		30 sec
Tempo reduced by -50%. command syntax: soundstretch input.wav output.wav -tempo=-50		60 sec
Beats-Per-Second rate adjusted to 60 BPM (original is 73.9 BPM). Note: This is equivalent to decreasing tempo by -18.8 %. command syntax: soundstretch input.wav output.wav -bpm=60		37 sec
Beats-Per-Second rate adjusted to 100 BPM (original is 73.9 BPM). Note This is equivalent to increasing tempo by +35.3%. command syntax: soundstretch input.wav output.wav -bpm=100		22 sec
Pitch lowered by -3 semi-tones. command syntax: soundstretch input.wav output.wav -pitch=-3		30 sec
Pitch raised by +3 semi-tones. command syntax: soundstretch input.wav output.wav -pitch=+3		30 sec
Playback rate increased by +35%. Note: This would be equivalent to playing a 33¹/₃RPM vinyl LP audio disc at 45 RPM... command syntax: soundstretch input.wav output.wav -rate=+35		22 sec

NOTICE: SoundStretch processes audio files in .wav file format, but these clips here have been converted to mp3 format after processing to reduce downloading times.
