Playback speed range #16

Closed leanderhoermann closed 5 years ago

leanderhoermann commented 5 years ago

Great app. Please increase playback speed range e.g. from 50% to at least 200%.

I'll just copy what I responded to an enquiry on openrepos for this:

[…] because I have no method of pitch correction, this will produce really low or high pitched output. I have yet to discover audiobooks where even 80 (really bassy) or 120 (squeaky like a dog toy) is bearable. Are you sure you have a real use case for that?

Another reason I hesitate is that setting the desired value may become a bit harder with a bigger range.

If you have such a use case, I am really, really interested in hearing more about it – I may even reconsider. ;)

cheers

Thanks for your quick response. You are right, without pitch correction it is not really reasonable to modify the speed in a wider range. With a pitch correction, the use case would be to hear audio books faster (depending on the audio book of course).

Cheers

Agreed, pitch correction would be really good. I have searched long and hard for lightweight solutions to integrate with Qt Audio but have found none that was even remotely feasible, sadly.
