Whenever I try to pitch shift something in Audacity using the Rubberband .lv2 plugin I get a horrible click/pop added to the start of the selected audio.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
The plugin I'm using is available here - https://kx.studio/Repositories:Plugins

Re: Problems Rubberband Pitch Shift in Audacity
This is a bug in Rubberband library itself, it behaves the same in Ardour and Mixbus even if used as standalone. Just tested it, confirmed. File a bug report.

Re: Problems Rubberband Pitch Shift in Audacity
I just tried the command-line version and it seems to work fine. So seems to be an issue just in the plugin perhaps.

Re: Problems Rubberband Pitch Shift in Audacity
I think I might have solved it. I downloaded the source from github, tweaked the buffer values and recompiled the LADSPA plugin and it seems to work...AlexTheBassist wrote:This is a bug in Rubberband library itself, it behaves the same in Ardour and Mixbus even if used as standalone.

I've uploaded here if you'd like to test it - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ggl4c9v6sydcx ... d.zip?dl=0
It's a LADSPA plugin not .lv2
These are the install locations according to the console output
lib/ladspa-rubberband.so /usr/local/lib/ladspa
ladspa/ladspa-rubberband.cat /usr/local/lib/ladspa
ladspa/ladspa-rubberband.rdf /usr/local/share/ladspa/rdf

Re: Problems Rubberband Pitch Shift in Audacity
Thanks, but I am not interested in a plugin version. A standalone variant in form of pitch tool of Mixbus/Ardour is sometimes helpful, but I can use Reaper's time stretching as a fallback, and I need that extremely rarely, as I rarely do video editing.d.healey wrote:I think I might have solved it

Do you mean the standalone command line tool didn't work for you either?AlexTheBassist wrote:Thanks, but I am not interested in a plugin version.

Re: Problems Rubberband Pitch Shift in Audacity
Didn't try that, I checked only plugins and both Mixbus's and Ardour's stretch tools. Can't do this right now because I am not at home nor in studio.d.healey wrote:standalone command line tool didn't work for you either?

Re: Problems Rubberband Pitch Shift in Audacity
I've forked the official rubberband repo and brought in FalkTX's LV2 stuff. I also modified the buffer size to get rid of the click/pop issue, and I added an LV2 make target.
