Timestreeeeeeetch…
Hardware samplers from the 90s struggled to stretch audio realistically, but that didn’t stop producers giving it a try anyway. It’s all over early jungle and 90s drum ’n’ bass, courtesy of Akai’s rackmount S Series samplers and their E-MU rivals. To achieve similar sounds in software, experiment with your DAW’s timestretch algorithms. Many DAWs, most notably Ableton Live, offer different settings for specific sounds. Using the ‘wrong’ setting (eg a vocal algorithm on a drum loop) can be interesting… as can deliberately choosing a lower quality algorithm for a more obvious streeeeeeeetch effect!
