Is time stretching really all that important?
Yes, even if it’s not the best sounding algorhythm on the market, it’s useful to be able to time stretch by a few bpm when necessary. For example, if you want to bring something from a different recording session into the project quickly.
Maybe Frits will create a very good sounding stretch algo with a fancy name and never need to license anyway!
To be quite honest, I’ve never used time stretching and have had no desire to do so. But then I don’t use loops and have had no desire to do anything with loops. When I have had a desire to change tempos I’ve re-recorded. I can’t see myself getting too excited about time stretching, but I guess there is a demand for this functionality.
You eve bang out something cool on a guitar or a synth and save it? I have tons of things like that here combined with cool drum stuff i’ve programed and vocal bits and stuff.
I dont really refer to them as “loops” but I guess some of my home grown drum beats could be called that.
Anyway, sometimes i think “wow, I bet that cool rhodes thing would sound cool here” and throw it on top of a project I’m working on – and time stretching makes this much easier to do.

Are you looking at a 3rd party algo for time stretching or developing your own?
I’m curiously about this too. Will you be licensing something like zPlane or iZotope Radius?
The iZotope technologies are all great – I don’t know what they cost though!
And I bet Frits could come up with his own stuff that works great 🙂
haikuLately I’ve been listening to Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac albums a lot.
I never got into Radiohead, but a couple months ago my friend Stef told me “You sound like Kid A” and then bought me the Kid A cd – after listening to it a bit I really like it. I’m going to have to pick up the live album with tracks from both albums and check out Hail to The Theif as well now 🙂
Lately I’m also listening to:
The Beatles – Revolver
Thom Yorke – The Eraser
The Who – Endless Wire
Smashing Pumpkins – Machina & Machina II
The Killers – Sam’s Town
Autechre – Draft 7.30 🙂
I’m more inspired by Kid A and Amnesiac than I have been in a long time which is great! I can’t wait to start rebuilding my home studio this summer and get back into more composing (computer problems have forced me into a hiatus)

I would think that zGrid should be high on the list as should zDither. The others are nice to haves as opposed to must haves.
I agree with this too. zDither will be a selling point of Podium, but you can get dozens of vst filters and delays for free these days.
haikuhaikuI really like the Zynewave logo!
Don’t change it Frits, it’s nice looking, very classy, unique, and people are getting familiar seeing it. Keep it the way it is! 😀
