SoundTouch Audio Processing Library


SoundStretch Audio Processing Utility

Copyright © Olli Parviainen 2001-2017

SoundStretch is a command-line program that performs SoundTouch library effects on WAV audio files. The program provides 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:

  • Process .wav audio files
  • Broad adjustment parameter 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.
