Time stretch audio is very bad quality

[djmattyz]

the affect that applying timestretch to any audio in premiere , weather via the rate stretch tool or by changing the speed of the clip, is very bad

it produces a phasing sound making it pretty unusable for ADR, for example

ADR - being when you re-record the voice of an actor in studio, due to poor recording conditions on location.

they never say the words at the exact same speed, meaning they need to be sped up and slowed down in parts to make them match up

DAWs like steinberg cubase timestrech audio virtually flawlessly,  as can any pro DJ program but it seems that premiere cannot.

im not sure about audition, but because of the wave editor style of that program, it doesnt seem to inviting for this kind of work

its a shame, because premiere is the place where you would want to be doing the ADR.  switching over to cubase is a pain in the neck because you might not have a picture lock ready when you are doing the ADR. it makes more sense to stay in premiere and do it all from there.

Yes, give up on that immediately and do it Audition, you'll have much better results.

I notice this comment is about 3 years old, and I still can't use time stretch for high quality productions.  I have the latest version of Audition (22.2.0.61) and produce a music-intensive radio syndication distributed to major market radio stations.  I sgtruggle in oproduction to reach a target length of sets to hit my final mark and could really use the ability to stretch or compress3 to 15 seconds in a 30 minute segment...but when I do, I can hear the annomalies created by the effect.  Am I missing a hack or trick?  Thanks.

Use the "multitrack" option within Audition. And yes, for work like what you're wanting, it is far more suited than Premiere.

For example, for recording my voice for the tutorials I do for MixingLight, I record into Audition in multi-track with several effects set for noise control and other things, to simply get the sound "right" pretty much off the bat. There isn't any way to do that in Pr.

Oh, and Au just added "punch and roll" with the spring release, which is wondrous to have finally.

Hmmm... that would make a good 2 minute tutorial Neil!

In particular the effects you use with that...

Here's the 'rack', and I needed to play with each of them a bit to get that particular mic sounding best. I've got a Røde shotgun mic I use for my desktop voice recording stuff.

• Speech Volume Leveler
• Dynamics
• Denoise (low frequency)
• Parameter Equalizer
• Denoise (high frequency)

Thanks very much Neil, I'm going to put these on the list to try out!

I've tried with a couple different mics, and ... the settings needed to be rather different.
