How to create authentic timestretched Jungle breaks with Akaizer
Akaizer is a freeware application for Windows / Mac OS X / Linux which can time stretch and/or pitch shift any WAVE or AIFF sound file in the style of the 'cyclic' time stretch, which featured on old Akai sound samplers, like the S950 / S1000 / S2000 / S3000 series. This is ideal for DAW-based music producers who want that classic metallic-sounding effect, as used in many old school Hardcore / Jungle / Speed Garage tunes from the 1990s, without the need for an actual Akai sampler.
while you can mess around in Ableton to try and recreate that metallic jungly breakbeat sound by playing with repitch and 'Texture' with a high grain size in warp options - to really get the sound Akaizer is a great tool to use...
