It's a Conan Doyle thing, or should that be Cumberbatch.

You don't say!

Such irony is lost on me! Best wishes.

Can the more advanced DAWs do some or all of the following:

1. Shorten or lengthen a sample - either with the pitch rising/lowering, or with the same pitch? If a track is a midi track, it should be possible to shorten/lengthen the notes without change of pitch.

2. Reverse a track sample - so it comes out backwards

3. Invert a track sample - in the sense that Bach and Mozart would understand that.

4. Raise lower (transpose?) the pitch of a track/sample.

1: yes , easy and of course MIDI notes can be more or less any length and have their durations adjusted manually or by simple operations (double not values / halve note values etc etc)
2: Yes, of course
3: Not sure what you mean by "invert" ? In notation software like Sibelius you can do all sorts of inversions and serial / post serial processes
4: yes. simple

Have you actually been playing with SOUNDS in Reaper (or other software) yet?
I would suggest that PLAYING with SOUNDS is the best way to find these things out

Ah - of course.
I'll deal with the other things later.

Quickly back to regular audio tracks, I think it’s possible to stretch/contract audio tracks in Final Cut Pro X, but not sure if it really works sound wise. I’ll check. It is I think also possible to reverse video tracks - not sure what happens to any embedded sound. Again - if I find time I’ll check that.

This does work with audio in FCPX. Tested! The pitch remains the same in my version - not sure if I can stretch and lower the pitch, or speed up and raise it.

I think I misread msg 11 - or it has been altered.

Mrgg - I'm working on Reaper - will be a day or two, but I have been playing with sound in various tools.
