How to create a Scatterer Instrument in Wwise I's surprising how different they are from each other. Hear how the first one is almost completely tone and then more and more harmonic and noise content creeps in. Further below, you can hear several versions with harmonic processing applied and increasingly higher bandwidths. I left the window size kind of low so we have some interesting frequency warping there. See samples below, the first two are the original recording on the left and the stretched version with no harmonic processing on the right. A lower number of harmonics and a lower bandwidth will yield more tonal results since a fundamental frequency will dominate the sound, while higher values will be closer to the original source having more frequency and nosie content. Harmonics will remove all frequencies form the sample except for a fundamental frequency and a number of harmonics that you can set. You can also change the bandwidth of these harmonics. Jumping now to the Process tab, here we have several very powerful settings to do sound design with. First, here is a recording of my voice on the left and the stretched version with default values on the right hand side: Let's explore how all these settings will affect different audio samples. Paulstretch breaks up the audio file in multiple slices and this parameter changes the size of those slices, affecting the character of the resulting sound as will hear below. This parameter can have quite a profound impact in the final result. There is also a Shorten mode that does the opposite, makes sounds shorter. If you want to make a sound infinite, you can freeze the sound in place to create an infinite soundscape with the 'freeze' button that is just to the right of the play button.īelow the stretch slider, you can see the window size in samples. Be careful with Hyperstretch because you can create crazily long files with it. Stretch and Hyperstretch will make sounds longer.

The stretch value lets you set how much you want to stretch your sound. 8x is the default stretch value, that may explain why so many of those youtube videos where using a 800% stretch. The screenshot shows the default parameters when you open the software and import some audio.

Under Parameters, you can find the most basic tools to stretch your sounds.

I'm just going to focus on the most useful and interesting settings from the first two tabs. As you can see above, there are four main tabs on the main window: Parameters, Process, Binaural beats and Write to file.
