[LAU] Timestretch without sample damage.

[J M Needham]

The audacity time stretcher is great, rubberband is even better but they
both put chunks of silence into the samples when I use them. So far the
only way I've
found of getting around this is to stretch it (or crush it) to close to
what I want, then remove the tiny chunks of silence and then use a speed
changer in audacity to make the sample exactly how long I want it, which
of course affects the pitch but unnoticeably. Am I doing something wrong
when using these tools?

The problem I'm trying to solve is to get a chunk of wav of length y to be
of length x without affecting pitch. Existing tempo changers that I've
seen put some silence in the output file when I use them.

Again, usual disclaimer: If I'm being stupid, let me know.

God Bless
