Howdy doody, frienderoonies! Today we're here to talk about an incredibly cool free sound design plugin: PaulXStretch! PaulXStretch is the VST version of the legendary Paul Stretch which is quite a bit of fun to mess around with. This free plugin lets you take the power of Paul Stretch into your DAW and create some incredible drones/pads/soundbeds/atmospheres in a matter of seconds, and today I figured I'd walk you through how to use the controls and share a few tips along the way!

paulStrech is based on phase vocoding FFT technique. It has nothing to do with granular synthesis. This is why all the parameters are spectrum related and not time related.

Ah man such a throwback to when I first started making music, this thing was all over the place, yet to this day I still love and use this software. That moment you realize you can stretch a single drum sound under 1 second long into a sound that if it would play continuously _AND_ you want to hear the end of it, it should've started playing in the times of the ancient Egyptians 😅 Yeah, that kinda went over my head a little as a 15 year old kid.

When I first discovered Paulstretch within Audacity I was blown aways by the interesting effect it has on any sound. It was basically the first contact I had with sound design. I slapped it many sounds just to see what they'd end up being after paulstretching. Seeing it as a VST with really cool additional options is like rediscovering this effect again

The first thing that i did with PaulXStretch was take the tinniest fraction of a seconds distorted bass guitar from one of Napalm Deaths later albums, and i stretched it out to over an hour. Hearing the fluctuations of sound ebb and flow over a long period of time while thinking that all came from such a short amount of audio was just mind blowing.

Not sure if anyone will see this after so long, but once I record into PaulStretch, there is no audible playback, nor does the play bar pass over the waveform. Nothing is frozen, nothing seems to be lagging, but I can't get ANY sound out of the plugin. I'm using studio one if that makes a difference. Any help would be incredibly appreciated. I can change all the settings around and whatnot, but when I press *play*, it simply does nothing.

trying to get a feel for the workflow in ableton - are you putting paulxstretch at the end of a MIDI track after VST/effects, or printing audio and bringing it into paul stretch on a separate audio track? I have it on an audio track and am capturing the audio but when i try to play it back within paulxstretch on the audio track, it isn't playing.
@humanage1547 2 жыл бұрын
Maybe an Ableton issue but I'm trying the following: add paulxstretch after a VST on a MIDI track, hit capture and play something (I see the waveform in paulxstretch), and then when I either play back the MIDI track in my DAW, or hit play in paulxstretch, nothing is happening (no sound nor playhead playing in paulxstretch) - any ideas? Thank you.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to feed Simpler into PaulStretch so that I can trigger bits of a sample in Passthrough mode and have it stretched in realtime. Could someone help me with this? My first introduction to PaulStretch was through Audacity and it completely redirected my approach towards music-making. I've since been exploring a sample-based project using an MPD218 and a Minilogue through Ableton Live, and I had been relying on PaulStretch-ed clips from Audacity to trigger as clips. Your comprehensive breakdown of this plugin version has opened up so many possibilities for how I can incorporate it into my Ableton Live workflow. Thank you so much!
