Adobe's audio remix is not time stretching. It analyzes audio, identifies important segments, loops, transitions, and finally remixes to any duration (w/o changing the speed).

You just adjust the time in Vegas with Control/drag the end of the audio event, in/out. In addition, you can, by right clicking and selecting properties, have access to different types of stretch algorithms, especially if you'd select "classic" instead of elastique.

This feature does not work as a Time stretch or Compress Tool. It is completely different. See the videos I posted. They explain how this feature works.

Ok, I see, it is adding or deleting segments to stretch or compress. That will work with certain types of music better than others, i.e., looped based, constant beat, well defined sections. Almost AI - like....but it's not going to always work, or work well. It's a cool feature, but one can certainly do the same on one's own with any sort of musical background or feel, won't be as "quick" perhaps, the final results might be better though. Thanks for that, that's a new feature I've not seen up till now. (I say that as a musician and audio editor, I should admit that it's not so easy if one has no experience as such, but it certainly isn't unattainable)

I can't see that appearing in Vegas anytime soon, though Vegas is quite good with audio, as you might well know.

Get Audition, you can probably get that for a quick seven day free "trial" or monthly of what?? $20/mo.?

There was a time, long ago, before I knew Sonic Foundry's Vegas Video 3 existed, that I played around with the Pinnacle Studio product. Please don't hate me. Anywayz, one of the features I thought is cool with that program is that it came with a decent number of built-in audio tracks that were actually not the worst tracks I'd ever heard over several genres. But one thing that could be accomplished quite easily with those tracks, which blew my mind, was how the length of ANY of those music tracks could automatically and seamlessly be re-adjusted to any time. It actually sounded great! And that was almost 20 years ago! When I found -- and stayed with Vegas (because overall it was a MUCH better video editor than Pinnacle) -- I looked for a similar audio feature. When I didn't find it I assumed it was because a professional editor wouldn't be caught dead doing something "gimmicky" like that. I hadn't given automatic music length another thought about it since then, but now I'm thinking perhaps it wasn't so gimmicky after all.

That really is a useful feature. In doing demos for HappyOtterScripts, one of the most tedious tasks I've found is re-mixing the background audio to match the video length. It's a real PITA. I'm surprised that there aren't any stand-alone apps that support this feature. If PowerDirector works OK and the audio can be exported, that would seem the way to go for a lifetime license. On Ebay, I noticed that licenses sell for around $13 although I suspect they are hacks. Or perhaps an older version would work OK.

Edit: It's not PowerDirector but rather AudioDirector which is a standalone audio editor wherein the audio remix function can be used. It seems to work reasonably well. Cyberlink offers a 30 day trial.
