I need to get some loop-based stuff done in T now, and of course there's no indication whether T2 handles it all better anyway.

Is there a VST that I can drop drum loops into that will timestretch them to project tempo? Preferably something inexpensive.

Thanks,
Gwydi

Phatmatik pro does that, I don't know if it qualify as inexpensive though.

I'd just pick up Acid xpress and use it to convert loops to your tempo.

Isn't Acid Xpress super-limited for audio resolution? I can't remember what it was, but it seemed to me that there was some sort of severe limitation on the audio quality you could work with.

just tried xpress
doesn't allow rendering to wav
just 20 mp3 encodes,and wma at a crap rate

That's not severe at all. Last time I tried it, I could have sworn you HAD to use compressed audio at 96kps or something like that. Since most of my loops are 16/44.1 anyhow, I'm in!

I recently downloaded Acid Express and I really like how it handles Beta Monkey drum loops. I really wish Tracktion could work like that.

Price Grabber shows Acid Music Studio 5 for as low as US$52.60. The most I've seen it is for US$70. I'm not sure if Acid Music Studio can save .wav files but it seems a lot more capable than the crippled Express and still fairly inexpensive. Can anyone that uses Acid Music Studio comment?

Me too - see other posts - see original T2 wishlist from months ago - my only request.

I don't remember people begging for big control surface capability - just better MIDI (T2: check) and several posts on better timestretch algorithms (T2: check?)

If you can find some way to get your loops acidized, you can use AMG ONE/Solo. It's very easy to use and supports rex/rex2/acid files. You do need to acidize the files first though, or rexify them.

Breakpete,

Any URL details on the plug you mentioned?
