Yesterday I couldn’t spell OS X Developer and now, I are one!
With some help from my friends on the CMake mailing list I finally got a running standalone OS X application built out of the Paul Stretch source. As I wrote yesterday, it’s free, it’s easy, and it makes hours of freaky soundscapes out of any audio file.
Except for mp3 files. If you try and load an MP3 file it locks up. Oh, and it wants WAV or OGG files — as far as I know it can’t load AIF files. But it’s free, right?

Hello Kent Williams,
I’m trying to compile Paulstretch for Tiger for weeks. I really LOVE this software and I would like to use it in my next concerts.
Like you I’m not developer. And I’m in despair : your osx version doesn’t work on my powerbook G4! Is it a leopard version ?
I suppose you’re probably not interested in making an os 10.4 version, so I can propose to try it myself with xcode. However could I try this with the help of your files ? I didn’t know how to do directly from the source code. But perhaps I can succeed from a good starting point… (a friend from ubisoft game development help me even if he didn’t know mac)
Well, thanks a lot for your work. I’m waiting for your answer, and I’m open to all your requirements.
all best,
Sylvain
Sylvain — I can’t find an e-mail address for you on your website. If you send me an e-mail — to chaircrusher at gmail dot com — I will e-mail you the files I used to compile with — it should work no problem on Power mac — though real time performance vs Intel might suffer.
I have been trying to port this forever. I am not a developer either. You are now my new favorite person, because 2.0 wasn’t working for me using WineHelper.
hi, I’d like a PPC 10.4 working version too. no Intel Mac here.
Unfortunately can’t do it on my own :-(
Would you be so kind to help?
I don’t actually know how to build a PPC version on the system I have access to. If you install the Apple Developer Tools, the scripts I wrote will work — the only prerequisite is to have the compiler and libraries installed on your system.
Sorry I can’t be more help; one odd thing is that when i originally did the build scripts, I wrote Paul e-mail about it and he never got back to me…
Best thing I can suggest is to ask around for a programmer with access to a PowerMac…
Got this running on leopard but the sound glitches loads a I can’t render the file? Any ideas folks.. Really want to get this going
@Shifted — I don’t really provide support ;-) It can’t read or write mp3 files, which it says it can. It should be able to write AIFF and WAV files OK.
I can’t seem to get it to work with out the sound glitching out. Any suggestions?
#1 I’m not a OS X Wizard, so I have no idea.
#2 I’m not Paulstretch support person, it’s free software, no warranty express or implied
#3 I never tried running the software on any other OSX box besides the quad core xeon mac pro, so I have no idea how well it runs on e.g. first generation mac pros.
I used paulstretch a while ago and remember a PC-looking-like-GUI that I ran it on my G4 PowerBook,
I dont know what version that was but I am sure it is still out there …
Works well for me. Thanks so much for making this available!!
Cant get it to work with tiger on intel machine running 10.4, I assume doesn’t work with tiger even intel version mac? can anyone confirm this? Thank you
Doesn’t work here either: intel 10.4.11
Hi,
Thank you for your generosity to make this sofware available for the mac community. I have a 10.4.11 (with Intel Core 2 Duo). Is it possible to use your mac version of the Paul extreme time stretching?
Thank you for your attention
Martin
