This allows you to expand/compress the length of the edit region without changing its
pitch.
Pressing STRETCH pops-up this window:
Using Q2, you can select the timestretch preset. All the stretch-related DSP processes
have a series of presets optimised for certain types of material. These are:
SPEECH 1 This works well on female speech.
SPEECH 2 This works well on male speech.
SPEECH 3 This is more appropriate for deeper male speech.
VOCAL This works well with solo and ensemble singing voices in isola-
tion and, in music studio applications would be applicable for
processing backing vocals and the like.
DANCE 1 This works well with rhythmic material with little bass content or
bass content that is short.
DANCE 2 This works well with rhythmic material. HF and MF is handled
well and short as are sharp bass sounds.
DANCE 3 This is also suitable for rhythmic material but will handle longer
bass components better.
PERC 1 This works on very rhythmic material, especially solo drums, etc.,
but can upset bass content.
PERC 2 This also works well on percussive material but can handle bass
content better.
HI NRG This works well processing material that is percussive, staccato
and rhythmic with a wide frequency range (although sustained
bass content may 'wobble').
