I mainly used the same samples that I used in the my recent shootout of Pro Tools limiter plug-ins, as they cover a wide range of material to test out Pitch 'n Time 's abilities. Pitch 'n Time's Variable Time-stretch panel allows you to create ritardando effects.The tempo adjustment is nothing short of stunning. In addition, right at the top of the window are some general controls which include a range selection from 2x to 8x as well as two different algorithm modes, one which suits more tonal sounds and the other which is better on more transient sounds. Finally, at the bottom is the Pitch section, which also has three modes - Fixed, Variable and Varispeed. Next there is the Length section, which shows the start, end and length of your selection you can edit the source or target data from here and the information in the corresponding section will be updated. Starting from the top there is the Tempo section, which offers three modes - Fixed, Variable and Morphing. The Pitch 'n Time window has three main sections. Pitch 'n Time Pro works as an Audiosuite plug-in in Pro Tools, and is compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows XP. It's also possible to treat multiple tracks (up to 48 of them!) simultaneously and retain their phase coherence. However, although it is an off-line plug-in, Serato have cleverly enabled automation options that you would otherwise only find in a real-time plug-in, thus making post-production ritardandos ('rits') possible. It isn't available in any real-time format, as these require a plug-in to have a 1:1 input-to-output ratio in respective of the number of samples - time-stretching, which involves changing the number of samples, can only be done with a file-based plug-in.

Serato's Pitch 'n Time Pro is a plug-in that enables you to vary the pitch and/or the tempo of your source material. Serato's Pitch 'n Time has carved out a reputation as one of the best time-stretching and pitch-shifting plug-ins out there, with special features including 'morphing' time-stretch and the ability to recreate varispeed effects.
