How does Change M4A Speed change the playback rate?
+
Concretely, the tempo is changed with a WSOLA time-stretch that leaves pitch alone, so speech stays intelligible instead of turning into a chipmunk; this needs a re-encode, so choose your speed once. Choose a multiplier — 0.5x for half speed, 2x for double — and the whole file is retimed.
Will speeding it up make voices sound high-pitched?
+
No. The time-stretch preserves pitch, so a 1.5x speech track sounds like the same person talking faster rather than like a chipmunk. That is the difference between a proper time-stretch and simply playing the samples faster.
Does the source format affect the result?
+
It does. M4A is an MP4 container holding AAC or ALAC audio — the default for iTunes and Apple Music files. That determines whether the retimed result can be written back cheaply or has to be fully re-encoded.
Anything specific to M4A here?
+
Yes — an .m4a can hold either AAC or ALAC, so lossy and lossless files share one extension and have to be told apart by inspection. Worth knowing before you commit to a large speed change.
How far can I push the speed before it sounds wrong?
+
Roughly 0.75x to 2x is transparent for speech. Beyond about 2.5x the stretch artefacts become audible on any algorithm, and below 0.5x the reconstruction has to invent too much. Music tolerates far less than speech does.
Does the file get shorter, and does it get smaller?
+
Shorter, yes, and in exact proportion — an hour of audio at 1.5x is forty minutes. The file shrinks by roughly the same proportion because there is less material to encode. The bitrate, the sample rate and the channel layout are all left exactly as they were.
An oibríonn sé ar ghléasanna soghluaiste
+
Sea, tá ár dtiontaire lánfhreagrach agus oibríonn sé ar fhóin chliste agus táibléid. Is féidir leat comhaid a thiontú ar iOS, Android, agus aon ardán soghluaiste eile le brabhsálaí nua-aimseartha.
Cé na brabhsálaithe a bhfuil tacaíocht acu
+
Oibríonn ár dtiontaire le gach brabhsálaí nua-aimseartha lena n-áirítear Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, agus Opera. Molaimid do bhrabhsálaí a choinneáil cothrom le dáta chun an taithí is fearr a fháil.
An bhfuil mo chuid comhad príobháideach agus slán
+
Go hiomlán. Déantar do chuid comhad a phróiseáil go slán agus scriostar iad go huathoibríoch ónár bhfreastalaithe tar éis an chomhshó. Ní léimid, ní stórálaimid ná ní roinnimid ábhar do chomhaid. Úsáideann gach aistriú naisc HTTPS criptithe.
Cad a tharlóidh mura dtosaíonn mo íoslódáil?
+
Mura dtosaíonn d’íoslódáil go huathoibríoch, déan iarracht cliceáil ar an gcnaipe íoslódála arís. Cinntigh nach bhfuil na fuinneoga aníos blocáilte, agus seiceáil fillteán íoslódála do bhrabhsálaí. Is féidir leat cliceáil ar dheis ar an nasc íoslódála agus 'Sábháil Mar' a roghnú freisin.
An gcaomhnófar an caighdeán
+
Fanann cáilíocht an fhíseáin slán le linn próiseála le linn tiontaithe. Braitheann na torthaí ar chomhoiriúnacht an chomhaid foinse agus an fhormáid sprice.
An gá dom cuntas a chruthú
+
Níl aon chuntas ag teastáil le haghaidh úsáide bunúsaí. Is féidir leat comhaid a phróiseáil láithreach. Trí chuntas saor in aisce a chruthú, gheobhaidh tú rochtain ar do stair chomhshó agus ar ghnéithe breise.
