35-minute ambient epic - Justin Beieber's "U Smile", slowed down 800%

[prophetik music]

i can't believe i just listened to justin bieber for 35 minutes.

this is absolutely AWESOME.

[Chernabogue]

Amazing sound!

This is how they made the Heroes soundtrack.

[Level 99]

I believe that is what they used to extend it (it sounds unbelievably like it and the default stretching is 8x). I honestly feel like it's 50% appropriate source and 50% the stretching algorithms that make it sound good. Try plugging in any track you want and see how it sounds.

I stretched my Chromium Asphyxiation and it sounded very nutso.

I stretched Willrock's Door into Chaotix and it sounded very soothing.

I stretched NSFW Schala and it sounded even more WTF.

[WillRock]

Yeah, I got shown this by level 99... Its an amazing software, level 99 downloaded it slowed down door into chaotix for me (I don't have the right pc to run the software myself) because he is stupid amounts of awesome, and it sounds incredible.

[Benjamin Briggs]

this is so good it makes me want to go home sick right now just to play with the software

[ella guro]

that was AMAZING. I'm downloading this program right now.

[Monobrow]

Hahahaha.... wow...

The world is a beautiful place after all!

Do this to ALL the annoying pop stars please :J

[Darklink42]

This program is really fun to play with. I've been messing with all kinds of different songs to see what they turn into at different speeds.

Interestingly enough, my favorite is actually Nario's "Chilled Pop Cherry Soda". Slowed correctly, it sounds like a the soundtrack to a seafaring movie, possibly with pirates.

that sounded really rad. i heard about this program (on these forums, i think) like a year ago but never tried it out, but now i'm on a mac and i don't think it's compatible, which is a shame.

I had the same problem. Mac compatibility issues smh.

[Dhsu]

Download Xcode for free and compile the binaries?

I could see this working very well with Foo Fighters btw.

bootcamp people. bootcamp.

[Moseph]

I feel like I'm on the second dream level and should be expecting a kick.

[EC2151]

Wow, the song sounds really good now.

[zircon]

I remember showing this program to people about 4 months ago. I think Yoozer showed it to me first even before then. It used to be a little gem of sound design, but I guess everyone knows about it now

The real fun begins when you start stretching material into the 50-100x range or more and mess with the window size and algorithm. I took a sample of a single palm mute on an electric guitar and turned it into the backing texture here (over 3 minutes long from a <1 second source):

[Strike911]

Oh my God....

This is the coolest thing I've seen in quite a while!!! I'm having way too much fun screwing around with my own songs in there! omg omg omg!

[Azul v2]

I just slowed down the 1 minute Survivor theme to 20 minutes and it sounds incredible.

[Gario]

Hmm...

I suspect many of you should now check out Philip Glass and Terry Riley, now that you've got this sort of sound in your head.

Not that it's the same thing, but the sound is quite close (without the special effects). This is awesome, regardless.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

This is how they made the Heroes soundtrack.

Applause. Very true.

[SoulinEther]

I just slowed down the 1 minute Survivor theme to 20 minutes and it sounds incredible.

I have to try this.

edit: i could try to make interesting textures out of short string samples that might otherwise suck.

[Soul Splint]

Whoa. If you guys want something relaxing, try plugging in Harmony's Nighttime Evolution. If you slow it down just right the fast-paced percussion turns into slow waves on the beach.

[Nase]

paulstretch rules.

i remember not having a birthday present for my mom, making a load of unbearable gabber/hardcore loops and throwing them into paulstretch.

tadaa, instant ambient album (after selecting the best results of course).

she's really into the ethereal newage stuff so it was perfect.

i chose not to tell her how it was conceived tho :>

[The Author]

Yeah this is awesome. Been listening to bieber without going nuts.

[prophetik music]

zircon, that palm mute thing is awesome =) i really need to start exploring this program some more.
