The SoX
tempoeffect has additional flags-sand-mwhich optimize WSOLA parameters for speech and music, respectively.In my testing, I found that using the
time_stretch()without the-sflag, there are significant artifacts in the audio, already at 0.7 or 1.3 factors, which are not too extreme, in my opinion. Simply adding the-sflag makes the output much more smoother.As AudioTools is speech-oriented, I think it would be a sane default for many users to use this flag in
time_stretch().Sample below with original, before, after, code was:
