I downloaded the full version of CoolEdit 2000 a few days ago.
I was under the impression that it could be used to change tempo and/or key before making a CD, MD or MP3 of a song. But, I can't find those options anywhere on any of the menus. I have some SD singing calls that are either the wrong speed or the wrong key or both for me that I would like to re-record for my use. Can I do that with CoolEdit?
Or do I just have the wrong product? Is there a right product for what I am trying to do?
Starting from the CoolEdit2000 menu...
To change speed,
- select 'Transform | Time/Pitch | Stretch...';
- in the 'Constant Stretch' tab, go to the 'Stretching mode' frame and select 'Time Stretch (preserves pitch)'
- Change the 'Ratio' field to a new value (e.g., 110 increases the speed by 10%) and click the 'OK' button.
To change pitch,
- select 'Transform | Time/Pitch | Stretch...';
- in the 'Constant Stretch' tab, go to the 'Stretching mode' frame and select 'Pitch Shift (preserves tempo)'
- Change the 'Transpose' dropdown list to a new value (e.g., each 'b' step lowers the key by a flat, each '#' step raises the key by a sharp) and click the 'OK' button.
You probably have to experiment a bit to get the desired pitch and tempo.
