Ok, last question this morning. ;)
Subjective opinions on which linux time/pitch shifting utility is the
most usable for changing keys and tempo of music ( no voices )? Does not
need to be "production quality" but good enough to shift backing tracks
and still be able to use them. Able to run on OSX as well under fink
would be a bonus!
Thanks

I'm not sure what you intend to use it for, but transcribe! has the best
time stretch I've heard so far. It's cheap-ware ($50 I think) and
available for linux. If you think about transcribing solos, it a the
best tool there is!

hi,
have a look at ladspa.org and get all the ladspa stuff you can.
i just had a look, there is a very good one called "tap pitch shifter"
which i very like.
i just realized that it is made by the same guy who is maintaining the
aqualung project!
another useful shifter is the "AM pitchshifter" by s.harris.
Ardour2 does natively stretch/shrink time of the region with the
"stretch/shrink it" tool.
i think that all this stuff runs on osx as good as here on a thinkpad?
cheers,

With a little learning you might be able to get
csound to do a good job at that.

Agreed, but an off the shelf would do me for just practicing tunes. It's
true that the csound phase-vocoder stuff has come a long way in the last
couple of years though!

There are several LADSPA pitch shifters, some of which are of vaguely
musical quality (the TAP one, Steve Harris's better one, probably Tim
Goetze's PVOC Transposer although I don't seem to have that here at the
moment).
I couldn't think of a Linux application for interactive musical pitch
shifting -- guessing or being told the current key or pitch and
adjusting to a different key, rather than just twiddling a multiplier
in a LADSPA window. Atte's suggestion of Transcribe looks good.
For time stretching and studying a recording, Sonic Visualiser (mine) is
handy. The current Subversion trunk, which is fairly stable and will
turn into a new release soon, has a much better time stretcher than the
0.9 release (which can only slow things down and only in big steps).
It's a bit of a pain to build from Subversion, but it does work on
Windows and OS/X as well.
Rosegarden can also now do drag-to-fit time stretching using the same
code as SV. Again the feature's in Subversion only -- release soon.
Ardour has done the same thing for ages. I like Rosegarden's time
stretcher (a phase vocoder with phase locking at transients) better
than that in Ardour (or Transcribe), but it's much slower. Time
stretcher quality is very subjective though and I don't believe any of
these is really state of the art.
None of the above can guess the tempo and shift it to a different
specified tempo. Freecycle might be able to do that, though I don't
think it's really designed for it.

Hi,
I use plainpv for pitch shifting/time scaling. It's a command line
phase vocoder and works quite well. You should be able to find it
through Google. Otherwise drop me a note and I will send it off list.
