time-stretching

Slowing audio playback

Time-stretching is an audio processing technique that changes the duration of a sound without altering its pitch.

Musicians and producers use it to speed up or slow down recordings while keeping vocals and instruments at their original frequencies.

The technique is essential in electronic music production, film scoring, and DJ work, where tracks of different tempos must be synchronized.

I used time-stretching to match the sample's tempo to my beat.
