How Do I "Speed Up" A Song?

I have a CD that was burned for us from a gig we did this weekend.

The quality sounds good, but the tempo of every song is too slow, and I was wondering what I can do to bring each song up to the correct speed.

I have both Sound Forge 6.0 and N-Track to work with.

Any help would be soooo appreciated.

Thanks!

Hit process, time compress/expand, choose a new length and you're done.
 
I've found the "Time Stretch" feature to be mostly worthless, though it will speed up (or slow down) your .wav file without changing the pitch.

Sounds like what a 45 RPM vinyl record would sound like if left in the glove compartment of a '74 Chevette parked in the Mojave Desert in July for a few weeks with the windows up.
 
It's not too incredibly bad if you just shave a couple seconds off the average song. Go too far and it can sound like that.
 
Thanks, Jake!

But....


Is it just a shot in the dark when I choose "length", or is there a way I can actually get the CD to the right speed by a specific entry?

Sounds kinda sexual....


Anyway, whaddya say?

That is more along the lines of the "ACID" feature set.

ACID thinks in terms of BPM.
 
Hmmmm....

I have done some bad things in my life, but I have never experimented with Acid before.

But I see the great influence it has had on your music, Doc.

I'll give it a try. :D


And I have never heard a recording "slow down" after it was burned.
It sounded just fine when he played it back from his hard drive.

Anyone ever had their CD burner do that before?
And what would be the reason for it?

Strange....

Dude it's all in the sample rate. If you burn a 48 khz file at 44.1 it will be slowed down.If you record at 48 and mix in the same program it wil be a 48 khz file. Do a sample rate conversion first, then burn.

I've been on a dude kick today.
