Stretching Vocals

Hello,

I want to be able to stretch a vocal in a certain part. So that it's held completely on that sound.

So, rather than pitch shift or stretch the sound, I want to target an exact phrase and hold on it (with no looping)

I'm on a mac

Let me know if i'm making sense

use a phase vocoder. freeze the spectrum.

there is a VST called "brain freeze" that does this, but for real flexibility check out the PV_Freeze and PV_MagFreeze UGens for Supercollider, which is ideal since you're on a mac. i've heard that both Maxmsp and Bidule have nice phase vocoding features and that they can also do this type of freezing.

ah ok, so what I'm looking to do it Freeze the Spectrum then.

I have Amadeus on a Mac, is there a way of using those VST's with it? Or is there a simple WAV editor that could do it ?

Also, could I do it in Reason? that has a phase vocoder

reason's phase vocoder might do the trick, i've never seen it. paulstretch also does this, even tho they call it 'timestretching' it's really a large-window phase vocoder that's 'freezing' the magnitudes and phases--and sounds really good. amadeus should be able to run that Brain Freeze VST so i'd suggest you check that first. freeze the spectrum yo!
