I can't remember off hand which ones do and don't work. Also, just to add to the list of probs. I am the only person who tries to make extremely short loops of audio? I have to use the command, turn loops to copies, to enable to playback. This has been around since version 5, maybe even earlier. I cannot remember for sure.

Ciao, A follow-up on my own query. One (admittedly inelegant) solution is to simply apply the same command again to the resulting file. So far, this seems to result in an accurately stretched object. This solution is not ideal, as presumably each stretch degrades the audio quality to a certain degree. Best, 3

Zenon, Could it be that in applying this command, you are asking that the audio be stretched beyond the maximum amount the digital factory will let you stretch it? There is a maximum amount you can stretch audio in one pass. Subsequent passes will, as you said, degrade audio even further. I haven't fooled around with the settings to see if any of them give you a larger maximum. If I really need to stretch audio a lot, I'll use Peak, (which sounds OK) or Soundhack (if I want that granular "windowing" kind of effect. If it's a matter of getting a rhythmic loop in time as well as in key, I find I get the best results by using classic transposition (sampler style, in fact, sometimes I use the EXS24 to tweak the loop into time) and then to use free transposition to pitch the loop into the right key. This preserves the rhythmic feel a little better than time stretching, at least to my ears. Paul
