This would work, but why couldn't you dynamically correct the key based on the amount of pitch? There should be a mathematical function for determining the amount of skew and correcting it. That way, you could record everything and the original speed and speed it up/slow it down without affecting the pitch in real time.

(side note for the gearheads: in some of my more nitpicky and/or obsessive moments, i've digitized tracks that i want really nice copies of at -16 (with the slider set to +/-16) and then digitally downsampled them (using a nice, high-quality algorithm in a professional audio-editor) to circa the proper speed. in my mind it makes for better recordings, but it could be psychosomatic. it makes any pops or clicks from scratches or deeply-ingrained (that didn't make it out in the pre-recording wash) dirt less audible as well. ) -j -------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey Paul -datavibe- [EMAIL PROTECTED] aim: x736e65616b phone: 130*21*16749 or 877-748-3467 -------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
