curious if audacity 4 is going to be another gnome 3

also curious when @mattgodbolt will switch for 2sc or if the muscle memory will never be replaced

@deobald @mattgodbolt He mentions that in this work they have got the time stretching algorithm from Staffpad, after getting them to open source it. Could this be a potential alternative to #rubberband, @ardour?

@ardour @ianmclean @mattgodbolt

..and so he did. veni, vidi, id implevi.

StaffPad time stretching is now available in Ardour/git.

@x42 what is your take on its quality vs other opensource implementations?

from the video it sounded as if everything else in opensource couldn't come close... 🤔

@falktx The best part about it is that it *just works* for a wide variety of instruments without any settings.

I've not yet had time to do extensive listening, but it does sound better than rubberband for both separate tracks (except cymbals), as well as stretching a mixdown.

It need about twice the CPU compared to Rubberband. Staffpad also does not provide for time mapping or adaptive ramped stretches which rubberband can do.

That being said it's pretty amazing.

@falktx Note that I've only enabled this for time-stretching in #ardour so far.

Formant preservation for pitch-shifting vocals is implemented outside of StaffPad in Audacity's lib-time-and-pitch.

Rubberband's pitch-shifter isn't too bad, and Fons Adriaensen has another project cooking there, too.
