Chapter 23: Time Shift
Time Shift is an AudioSuite plug-in that pro-
vides high quality time compression and expan-
sion (TCE) algorithms and formant correct
pitch-shifting.
Time Shift is ideal for music production, sound
design, and post production applications. Use it
to manipulate audio loops for tempo matching
or to transpose vocal tracks using formant cor-
rect pitch shifting. You can also use it in audio
post production for pull up and pull down con-
versions as well as for adjusting audio to specific
time or SMPTE durations for synchronization
purposes.
Time Shift Controls
Time Shift controls in the interface for are orga-
nized in the following four sections:
Audio Use the controls in the Audio section to
select the most appropriate time compression
and expansion algorithm (mode) for the type of
material you want to process, and to attenuate
the gain of the processed audio to aid clipping.
Time Use the controls in the Time section to
specify the amount of time compression or ex-
pansion you want to apply.
Formant or Transient Use the controls in the
Formant or Transient section to adjust either
the amount of formant shift or the transient de-
tection parameters depending upon which mode
you have selected in the Audio section. The For-
mant section is only available when Mono-
phonic is selected as the Audio Mode. The Tran-
sient section is available with slightly different
controls depending on whether Polyphonic or
Rhythmic is selected as the Audio Mode.
Pitch Use the controls in the Pitch section to ap-
ply pitch shifting. Pitch shifting can also be for-
mant correct if you select the Monophonic audio
setting.
