Timestretch Autmation

[mixFarm]

hi everybody, i am mixing a DVD at the mo and have to pitch the session down. change tempo and pitch like on an old tape recorder. i have already many volume automations made before i got the good news of pitching. how can i time stretch the automations when the length of the audio files is changing? or do i need to change them by hand?

thanks for help.

Can you not use the pull up/down feature in session setup?

I've never done it, but if you have a Sync I/O try the VSO option in session setup.

Do you need to change the pitch/speed of the whole session or in parts as an effect? VSO would work for the whole session.

the problem is audio is stretched, but the automation is not connected to that region. it is not stretching with the audio!! for me thats a big probelm at the moment.

any help is cool.

I have used the VSO function mentioned above, and all automation follows that fine. I wanted to get the "tape slowdown" effect in one particular section, so I did it manually while printing a mix. It works fine if you are slowing/stretching. The speedup effect will only go +50cents. This worked fine for me as it was not for video. I imagine your margin for error is much smaller and sync is also an issue. When you figure it out, let us know how you did it. thanks, SB
