Audio/music speed ramping tool?

Mar 3, 2010 7:59PM PST

I was hoping somebody could point me in the direction of a good (hopefully free) audio mixing/editing tool to ramp the speed of a track.

I am looking to take one music track (uptempo) have it play a few seconds, then ramp the speed down to blend with another track, cross-fading it out so that only track 2 can be heard.

I am a Video Editor and am trying to incorporate this cool audio effect in my project with 2 tracks I have chosen. I have the Adobe Master Collection, but Audition can't do this (nor can Premiere or After Effects, even though they can do it with video).

I am hoping for a free solution, but will definitely take all suggestions (the easier the better) for how to accomplish this.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Hey!

Did you find any solution for this?

I'm trying to do a variable speed change as well in FCP or Premiere. I also use Cubase and Logic but can't find an easy and good way of doing this.

Hope you can help me Happy

Cheers,
Toni

Please try it once EDIUS,,As a a rule of thumb (though I am in PAL land) multiples of frame rate work best. For instance, here if I get something shot at 50fps I can do a 200% speed increase and it will be 'normal speed'. Likewise, speeding up faster than 'normal' in multiples of the base frame rate keeps things looking best.
