tempo shifting vocals

[RolandFan]

I have an ambient track at 85BPM that I want to remix for a club track at 126BPM. I am not getting a good result with the vocals. What is the best way to timeshift to this degree. Right now I am figuring out how many measures the region occupies at 85 BPM, then adjusting the song tempo to 126bpm, then using "adjust region to locators" to make the shift. The algorithm is set to universal.

i believe this is a job for elastic audio:

 

export the track as an audio file (file/export/track as audio file

 

tick" add resulting file to audio window" in the resulting window - hit save and the export will occur

 

create a new track in arange window

 

go to the audio window and find the exported audio

 

drag that into your arrangw window

 

in the new track region parameter box, tick the box marked follow tempo

 

play the track and adjust the tempo - the vox should adjust accordingly

 

for long form audio, i believe this is the best way to do it

 

does that help?

from 85 to 125 bpm seems like more of a timestretch than would give decent results, regardless of method to me... i've heard melodyne can do stuff like that, but haven't tried.

Personally, I'd start by seeing if I could chop up the 85bpm vocal into little bits & seeing how those fit in a 125 bpm track without any timestretching. You might get a really interesting effect by spacing out words & syllables rather than squeezing them together.
