Nothing, do you mind explaining it?
I have a podcast and now I'm always interested in hearing about audio techniques of all kinds.

Welcome to Music Production@sh.itjust.works.
A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!
Rules are as follows:
- Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
- No elitism or bigotry towards other people's music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.
We will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!
Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:
(in no particular order)
- Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
- Learning resources - videos, articles, posts on any topic concerning a production process, be it composition, sound design, sampling, mixing, mastering, DAW workflow or any other.
- Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
- News about production software, releases and personalities.
- Questions and general advice about music production.
- Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
- Your physical analogue gear! Let us know how it performs!
Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, Lemmy (and the broader fediverse) is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

Its a thing in Audacity that can modulate the pitch and playbackspeed over time, like a ramp or gradual thing
Its like a true accelerando or ritardando. Almosy every audio app can easily do that at a discrete point in time but it plateaus or stays there in terms of the speed and pitch. Sliding stretch does that constantly over the entire track
Just wait until Audicity gets full parameter automation. It's in the pipeline and I have a feeling you're really going to like it. If you can't wait I Habs some DAW suggestions and I'm sure others do too.
I can wait, I have a video app which can do all that but its fussier on the small screen rather than something on a computer haha
Wat DAWs while we're on that subject
Looking forward in particular to being able to automate reverb, low pass filters, and delay in particular
What DAWs were you thinking of, just curious? No promises haha
When it comes to modulating parameters Bitwig Studio is unmatched.
How much is it to buy?
About as much as other DAWs, but you can rent to own it on Splice with no interest and it's actually the best deal because you get two years of updates. I highly recommend it or getting the trial. Or hell, the most basic package is reasonably priced and you can probably find a limited 8-track license for cheap or possibly free.
Get the trial.
I will probably end up buying it if it at least approximates Audacity's sliding stretch type parameter automation and i like the workflow. Does it work with video too or just audio?
Just audio unfortunately. No other workflow compares to me. It's laid out similarly to Ableton, but more modern. (it was made by former Ableton devs).
If automating parameters appeals to you I think you'll like modulators a lot. Bitwig 6 did improve Automation as well.
Edit: oh and it comes with a bunch of great stretch algorithms. Not sure if they're all in the cheaper editions however.
Dont worry about that ;)
I'm not sure I know what you're getting at.
Excellent
🏴☠️?
Do you know any video editing suites that easily allow for that, like makes it easy to do linear or curved ramps and the pitch gets higher or lower when its automating the changing speed?
I have LumaFusion for iOS and its fantastic but i havent found anything like it on Windows. After Effects almost but it overcomplicates the keyframing and its essentially impossible to get what i want from it
I do not unfortunately. I just know that native syncing to a video file within Bitwig itself without a plugin or workaround is one of the most requested features. Maybe it will be added in Bitwig 7 or 8.
