We may be requiring the skills of a capable C++ programmer, basically to leverage an opensource audio library and create some command line tools from it.

Does anyone know of anyone who might be interested and available for about a weeks worth of C++ work? Hours and dates can be flexible to suit.

drop me an email danmoov2 [at] gmail.com

Sure they wouldn't rather be using Perl [
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=audio ] ? ;-)

Well to be honest we're after a very high quality time-stretch with pitch shift that can run X-platform via a native package (namely exe / dmg), we've been directed to an open source c++ library that does the job (http://breakfastkey.com/rubberband/) so just need help with integration (with an AIR app). Without needing to re-invent the wheel seemed easiest to just leverage what they already identified as suitable quality but if anyone else has any other suggestions I'm open to it.

Have you considered sox(1)?

SoX - Sound eXchange, the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation

Especially it's `tempo' command that uses the WSOLA algorithm. I
suspect its `stretch' command is too poor quality. I'm used to it on
Unix, but http://sox.sourceforge.net/ says it's cross-platform.

Cheers,


Ralph.

Slightly OT, but you might enjoy this too if you're playing with audio:

http://code.google.com/p/echo-nest-remix/

there's a web service called 'echo-nest' that analyses a track, and the
'remix' part lets you do fancy things in code ala a remix artist.
