okay bestie, sit DOWN, because this is the paulstretch manual page (that's manual page 1, general commands section, for those keeping score at home) and it is genuinely iconic. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

paulstretch — Extreme Sound Time-Stretch 🔥

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

paulstretch

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no arguments, no nothing. she just goes. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. this is a program for stretching the audio. that's the whole vibe.

but here's the tea: it's suitable only for extreme sound stretching of the audio (like 50x, yes literally fifty times, not a typo, not a drill) and for applying special effects by "spectral smoothing" the sounds. it can transform any sound/music to a texture. any sound. your fave song? texture. a recording of you screaming? texture. the vibes are immaculate.

it produces high quality extreme sound stretching. and the way that most sound stretching software sounds bad when trying to stretch the sounds a lot — not her. this one is optimized for extreme sound stretching. main character energy fr fr. 👑

the stretch amount is unlimited. like, unlimited unlimited. no ceiling. no cap (literally, there is no cap).

and you get options bestie:

  • you can play the stretched sound in real-time — including the possibility to "freeze" the sound 🧊 (obsessed with this actually)
  • or you can render the whole sound or a part of it to audio files 🎧
