Two methods are popular, one being FFT as you mentioned and the other granular synthesis.


With the FFT method, you convert your time-domain sound to frequencies; as an example, if we stretch it in time by x2, which lowers the pitch accordingly, then adjust the pitch up in your FFT data and then convert it back to a time domain sample.

With granular synthesis, you have a buffer which holds as small a time-domain sample as it can, down to one cycle is ideal, then repeat until you have to move onto your next cycle in the full sample. This method, although faster by far, requires some well-judged merging between one cycle and the next.


Regards, Jose.

Hi, my app loads a sound via NSSound and manipulates it via Quicktime. I'd like to take a subregion of the sound/movie and play it back slowly, but keeping pitch like the original.

First of all, is it possible to get a 'subregion' or piece of the
sound? I'd imagine that's a Quicktime call? From the light research
I've done on this, does this sound have to have 1:1 frame/packet
ratio(such as wav or aiff) in order to properly apply the dsp
technique? Do I apply a FFT for this.. not sure where to start on this.

regards,
Michael
