TimeFactory 2 for Windows

TimeFactory is the software exclusively dedicated to performing high quality near-lossless time and pitch scaling on monophonic and polyphonic music signals. It uses the latest advances in DSP technology to achieve time scaling amounts of up to one third the original length, corresponding to a time stretching factor of 133% and more (or pitch scaling of up to 5 semitones) without audible loss in quality. This is as much as slowing down a complete music piece from 120 BPM to 90 BPM, or vice-versa.
Conventional methods used in todays DAW software and commercial applications either suffer from unpleasant harmonic distortion, timing inconsistencies and echoes even at small time scaling ratios, or introduce severe smearing or reverberation that makes the results inacceptable for professional audio purposes when applied to complete musical pieces. TimeFactory now offers unprecedented audio quality, easily outperforming all known applications in both quality and achieved time scaling ratio. With TimeFactory, you are free to choose the tempo of your recording at a result that is indistinguishable from the original within a large range of scaling ratios, without endlessly tweaking dozens of parameters.
Whether you wish to time scale individual sound files of a recording session or the final mixdown, whether you are processing classical or 'drum & bass' style music, TimeFactory is a simple click-and-go application with straightforward user interface and easy to use batch processing capabilities. It accepts sound files in AIFF and WAVE file formats of any word length and sample rate, even 24bit 96kHz or split stereo files are no problem. No more worrying about the eventual outcome of time consuming parameter tweaking sessions, just set the desired time scaling ratio and click to process your audio files within minutes.
Prosoniq's proprietary timbreWizard algorithm allows for natural pitch shifts, avoiding the common 'munchkinization syndrome' you will hear when trying other software to do pitch shifting.

Dynamic TimeStretch/Pitch Shift/Formant Change
TimeFactory 2 combines the unparalleled quality of TimeFactory with a comprehensive and versatile editor that allows dynamic time stretch, pitch shift and formant moves in a way that makes it indispensable for any production. Change the rhythm of a drum track, the emphasis of a voiceover, or create weird special effects by moving formants in one direction while changing the pitch independently - the possibilities are endless.

Surround
Also, version 2 offers 5.1, 6.1 and even 7.1 surround processing in perfect phase sync - converting between different frame rates for film and tv has never been easier.

Optimized processing
TimeFactory makes use of the latest version of Prosoniq MPEX2 - industries' standard in time stretching and pitch shifting. The latest version has been tremendously improved in both quality and speed of processing. Almost every major digital audio workstation or audio application on the Mac and PC uses MPEX to achieve high quality, crystal-clear audio time stretching.

TimeFactory 2 for Mac

Prosoniq TimeFactory 2 takes time stretching and pitch shifting to the next level by giving you unique and unparalleled control over all aspects of your sound files. TimeFactory 2 is the only application that combines all leading time stretching algorithms that are used in the major audio editing applications at this time, giving you access to the latest in technology from one single user interface. No need to buy dozens of programs - you get them all in just one application.

File Format Support and Surround Processing: Version 2 supports all popular file formats and offers 5.1, 6.1 and even N.1 surround processing in perfect phase sync - converting between different frame rates for film and TV has never been easier! What's more, you can decode and combine an unlimited number of files into one multichannel file which you can then process and export - time stretching multi- channel files has never been easier. TimeFactory 2 supports all popular word lengths up to 32bit and sample rates as high as 384kHz.

MPEX3 Processing: TimeFactory makes use of the latest version of Prosoniq's MPEX which is the industry standard for time stretching and pitch shifting. The latest version has been tremendously improved in both quality and speed of processing. Almost every major digital audio workstation or audio application on the Mac and PC uses MPEX to achieve high quality, crystal-clear audio time stretching.

More Technology: TimeFactory 2 not only incorporates Prosoniq's MPEX time stretching, but the high quality, high performance DIRAC and ClearScale algorithms as well. These algorithms have been developed by key people in the industry to complement MPEX and provide excellent sounding alternatives to choose from when special applications require a high level of customization.
