Speed up song

Ok the post is probably up but I can't find it, and Im sure there is a simple answer to my question. I have a song that is 2min long and I need to speed it up so that it is only 1:50 min long. I have tried to speed the tempo but I don't think that worked. Any help will do!!! I need to get this done by 5pm today, so please help me soon!!! Thank you very much

The simple and quick way would be to render your file as an AIFF file, import it into Amadeus Pro, then go to Effects > Change Pitch and Speed. You can change the Speed and leave the Pitch unchanged.
OK, now the BEST way would be to make it work in GarageBand first, but it sounds like you are in a hurry.

I believe you can do this with the demo version, but not sure. If you have SoundTrack Pro, it too will accomplish this.

Itunes started speeding through songs with no sound

All of a sudden, Itunes has started speeding through songs, as if on super fast forward. There is no sound, and it moves on to the next in a hurry. I updated Itunes and Quicktime this morning and it still continues. Any ideas? I've run malware and spyware checkers, with no findings of anything bad.

Yout computer has one volume button and iTunes has another. What position is the volume slider in itunes? To the right will increase volume.
You can check your System Prefs>Harware>Sound to see what your system settings are.

Mp3 player that can slow down/speed up songs?

Hi there!
Is there an mp3 player that allows me to change the speed of the songs? I know that audacity can do this, but I need an on-the-fly solution, I don't want to alter the files on disk.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
Best wishes,
Rufus

From the mplayer2 manpage
scaletempo[=option1:option2:...]
Scales audio tempo without altering pitch, optionally synced to playback speed (default).
speed=<tempo|pitch|both|none>
Set response to speed change.
tempo
Scale tempo in sync with speed (default).
pitch
Reverses effect of filter. Scales pitch without altering tempo. Add '[ speed_mult
0.9438743126816935' and '] speed_mult 1.059463094352953' to your input.conf to step by
musical semi-tones. WARNING: Loses sync with video.
both Scale both tempo and pitch.
none Ignore speed changes.
If you scale tempo
mplayer -af scaletempo=speed=tempo
(it has the same effect as the example in my previous post)
the pitch remains constant, but the song plays faster / slower.
If you scale pitch
mplayer -af scaletempo=speed=pitch
the song will play at the same speed (will have the same duration) but you can change the pitch.

Speeding up songs and recording...

Does anyone know if and how it is possible t speed up tracks on garageband?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried to speed up the tempo but it doesn't make the project faster. I change the tempo and it makes it doesn't make the song faster. Maybe i'm doing it wrong? Help!!

Speed of songs is playing slow

Ever since I downloaded the latest iTunes update my iPod Touch has started playing all of my music tracks at a slower speed! What is up and how can I fix this problem? If anyone knows how to solve the problem I would really appreciate some advice. Cheers and thanks,
Lady of Decpticons

- Do they play OK in iTunes on the computer?
- On the iPod, on the right side of the screen right under athe scrubber bar is there a box with either 1/2X, 1X or 2X (Should be 1/2X is slow). That is the playback speed that shoulpd only be present with podcasts and audio books. To change the spped just tap the box to cycle through the speeds.
- Try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- next try restoring from backup
- Last, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Song playback speed

I have an new ipod nano. Does anyone know how I can increase playback speed of songs? From itunes? For some reason, when I hear songs through the ipod they sound slower than on CD...any input? Thanks!

Thank you!
What about MIDI cc´s like foot control which were recorded with the MIDI-will they be locked with the MIDI regions as well? I guess why they shouldn´t be because they are part of a region and they are not automation data, right?

Importing songs from cds soooo slow.....agghh ive no patients!!

when im importing songs from a cd to itunes it is soooooo slow. the time it takes to import the song i could have played it twice! This isnt a major problem as it is still in working order but the speed is rediculous. Does anyone know if there is a setting which i can adjust the speed that songs copy from a cd????? if someone could help it would be great....for my sanity's sake!!!!

I have an elderly Toshiba running XP Pro-SP 2. With iTunes 6.0x I was able to import CD's at 4X-6X. Considering the CD Drive maxes out at 8X - that was OK. Well, 7.0 imported at .1X that is POINT ONE X. And "upgrade" to 7.0.1 increased the speed to a wopping .8X.
I tried making a second library. That got me up to 2X. (My library is over 20Gig - so it seemed to fall into the large library problem zone.)
I went back to 6.0.4 - I am not a happy camper since I couldn't find a "recent" copy of an older version of iTunes. Ended up "rebuilding" my library - lost playlist in the process.
I am happy to have 6.0.4 back and running. I never connected my iPod to 7.0 -
It will be a long time before I install a new version of iTunes. There was no reason for me to upgrade. I was just a little bored when iTunes announced "New Version - want to upgrade?" My fault.
Thanks for listening to my crabbing.

How to speed up or slow down music tempo?

hi all, I am hoping someone could do me a favor like telling me how to adjust music tempo by java...I mean how to speed up or slow down music tempo by Java programming?
Thx a lot :-)

Actually, I want to change the speed of songs with formats like .wav and mp3. But I can't find the correct way to do that, and even it seems not to play all kinds of .wav music when I use the code as below. Sometimes when I play some other .wav music ,it just generates some fuzzy sounds.
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import sun.audio.AudioStream;
import sun.audio.AudioPlayer;
public class Main {
public Main() throws Exception {
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream("C:\\WINDOWS\\Media\\tada.wav");
AudioStream audioStream = new AudioStream(fileInputStream);
AudioPlayer.player.start(audioStream);
Thread.sleep(5000);
fileInputStream = new FileInputStream("C:\\WINDOWS\\Media\\tada.wav");
audioStream = new AudioStream(fileInputStream);
AudioPlayer.player.start(audioStream);
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
new Main();
}

Hey brokegee,
I found an article that goes over why download times can vary, including estimates for how long it should take depending on internet speed and song size:

How can iMovie deal with iPhoto video better??

Hello,
My 10 year old son has really taken a liking to home movie creation with this digital camera recording video clips. The regular digital camera that records video clips by default imports clips as .avi into iPhoto.
He then uses iMovie to find those clips in "iPhoto Videos" in iMovie. He then creates the movies and shares it to iTunes to put on his iPod Touch. Here lies the problem. He is filling up my hard drive! His user account iPhoto library is 65g and he does not have a tremendous amount of videos but when I reveal in finder to show the details of an iPhoto video it shows the folder (year and month) and I see other related folders that go along with this video. Although his videos are usually 5 minutes he speeds them up or slows them down with other effects and I think that is swelling the iPhoto Library with some of these folders being up to 2g each.
What is the best workflow?
I tried putting his entire iPhoto library on an external but when running iMovie some the the project lost links to the associated events. Don't forget these events right now are stored in iPhoto because it is from a digital camera, not a camcorder.
Option 1:
Is there a way to bypass the import of video into iPhoto? Each time the camera is connected it imports to iPhoto. If I got a card reader and we took the SD card out and then imported would iMovie take over or would iPhoto still import if video and stills are on same card?
Option 2:
Import normally to iPhoto, then manually drag video clips to separate folder and 'import' them into iMovie as separate events. BUT then we have to remember to go back into iPhoto and delete those videos. That would put the video into iMovie and store it there and not into iPhoto. What a lot of work?
Option 3:
Buy a small Kodak video web recorder and will iMovie take those in as videos?
I am assuming that storing these things in iPhoto, editing in iMovie, is creating this clutter. Please advise if this is the root of my problem. Why have these relatively short video clips consumed my iPhoto library? I think it is the effects, speed up movie ( he likes to make the voices sound like chipmunks and speed the songs up) that is creating addtional associated file in the iPhoto library.
I think it would be better to run independently in iMovie and not have all this associated with clips stored as iPhoto Videos?
I have 4 gigs left on my 250 gig HD.
ANY help would be appreciated!!!

Importing into iMovie isn't the problem. My pal seems to be under the impression that footage transferred from the camcorder directly into his PC using Vegas (which apparently saves it as .avi) is of higher quality than footage transferred to Mac via iMovie that's then copied for him as .dv files.
I always thought that since .dv is the native format for the camcorder, then that's the original, raw material.
So, my question is really whether when this guy is playing back and editing in Vegas, if the footage transferred to his computer directly and saved as .avi is really better and sharper -- or whether Vegas is simply is tweaking the .avi footage for optimal display in a Windows machine.
In other words, once the final, edited footage is saved, will a .dv file be worse than an .avi file.

Why is it so hard to put music on my brand new iphone 4s?

I purposely bought the 64GB version of the new iPhone 4s so that I could also use it as an iPod. First off-I can't edit any of the music's information or cover art once it's in the phone. Half of the albums that I synched just speed through song after song without making a sound. The other half won't even go to the song when you touch the title.
My biggest beef? In quite a few albums, I can't put most of the files on it. It just won't do it. For example, I dragged a Mariah album to my iPhone. It synched up 4 songs out of 12. No matter what I do, it just refuses to take certain songs, and in most cases-entire albums.
I tried to put a Britney album on there, and it just point blank refused to play the right song. It would play Toxic for the title of Breathe On Me. It doesn't do this on iTunes. Just on the iPhone. I finally got it to sound right once I dragged each...song..over..and..over...and..over...
I spent the last DAY-that's right, DAY-trying to get all the correct artwork and titles and songs, and I've only finished up to the C's.
Please help me. I can't afford to waste this type of money for a subpar product. I've never had this type of problems with my iPod.

I've found that once the music files are transfered from iTunes music library to the device, you lose a greater ability to edit the properties or add artwork to the mp3s if you then try to then. It's hit or miss and I think it has to do with how the music with what software was used to encode the music files and what format they are in.
From these experiences, I've made it a habit of doing all the tag/properties edits and artwork adds in iTunes music library first, then move them over to the phone as the final copies.

I think I just fixed mine.
Go to keychain access and select the crlcache.db keychain. Right click and delete files and references.
Then click on keychain access -> Keychain First Aid and do a repair.
rinse lather repeat until the crlcache.db is gone from keychain.
