Agreed on all points. There is a wealth of rich sound to explore out
there and with pitch and stretch you can create sounds that have not
been heard. Here is an example of both pitch and stretch changing
within the segment.
And for learning and improving on audio editor software I highly
recommend that you find someone with the same software as you with
roughly the same level of experience and interest and play a lot
together. With the internet that person does not need to be in the
same country as you. I know Jim from this group sure helped me out a
lot and we have edited and re-edited many files over the internet.
attached is 666 kb download for those wondering what the heck that is
all about. Just a pair of simple barn swallows in a shed on a warm
summer afternoon, and then someone stretched your mind a bit.
