Today during my audio production class I was demonstrating to my students how time correction impacts digital audio when pitch shifting more than a few semitones. To illustrate this I pitched down a chunk of music an octave with the time correction on in Pro Tools. The degradation was clear, but it occurred to me that it would be even more obvious if I shifted it back up to the original pitch with time correction enabled again.
This created an interesting way to effectively down-sample the audio. Intrigued, I applied the same technique over several times to hear what would happen on multiple passes. This is something I’m likely to explore more, but I tried it again on the snippet of music from Unprocessed Rhodes Pedal Noise going down two octaves and back up again. It sounds like the audio has been boiled in a pot of bathroom chemicals. Delicious!
Time Correction Overload
Here’s an excerpt from a piece of music that I created using the noise that the pedal on my suitcase Rhodes makes if you step on it the right way. The sound is processed using some of my usual techniques. I also programmed a beat of the top and laid down some reversed Rhodes and well as a simple chord progression. This probably won’t get developed much further, but perhaps I’ll use it as a segue piece of some sort. 
I’m calling this one minute and twenty four second experiment Six Machines, simply because after applying the first round of processing and looping the phrase a vague melody in six / eight time is discernible. The first round of involved applying destructive processing in 
What you hear in this clip is all of the processed noise extracted from 
Here is another recently produced example of processing sound with
