Chris Frederick, co-author of Stretch to Win, Second Edition, put together a webinar designed to answer your questions about how to assess your body’s needs, how and when to stretch, the benefits of stretching, and when stretching can aid in recovery.

Stretch to Win is a complete flexibility system designed to optimize performance of today’s athletes. With the new assessment protocols athletes and coaches/practitioners can determine ROM deficits and identify performance inhibitors. Then eliminate those imbalances by mastering fundamental mobility. The stretching matrix allows anyone to develop a personalized program to increase mobility, power, speed, agility, and range of motion. With chapters on self-stretching and assisted stretching, athletes and practitioners have the perfect way to learn to Stretch to Win!
This is a program for stretching the audio. It is suitable only for extreme sound stretching of the audio (like 50x) and for applying special effects by "spectral smoothing" the sounds. It can transform any sound/music to a texture. The program is Open-Source and it's released under the version 2 of the General Public License. You can download the source code for Linux or the Windows binaries.
Please note that this is suitable only for extreme time stretching (e.g. if have a melody of 3 minutes and you want to listen it in 3 hours). If you want "less extreme" time stretching, you can use a program which contains the SoundTouch library.
This program doesn't process the sound as a single piece: it cuts the sound in small pieces and process them. Each small piece is called a "window". The size of the windows controls the size of the window in samples, which affects the frequency and the time resolution of the resulting sounds. The small windows have good time resolution, but poor frequency resolution. Also, large windows has poor time resolution, but they has great frequency resolution. Usually, a window of 7-12k is good for most music. Very big windows (larger than 100k) can be used for special effects (for smearing the sound very much and transforming it into a sound-texture even if the stretch is closer to 1.0).
The onset sensitivity specifies how sensitive is the stretching to onsets. The leftmost position represents "ignore all onsets", while the rightmost is very sensitive to onset (and might get many false positives). When an onset is detected the stretching is disabled for that window, making the onset to start fast even on very long stretches.
It sounds very good on stretching classical music(for finding small errors on choirs :) ). I like very much listening to Vangelis using this effect. I recomand you to try to listen "Movement 1" from "El Greco" album from the 9:00 minutes stretched by 30x, using a window of 10k samples. Also, you can try the "Monastery of La Rabida" soundtrack from the "Conquest of paradise" album. To create an interesting effect you can use small amount of stretches and big window sizes (like 5-10 seconds long).
I go running in Central Park which results in tightness in my back and legs. My stretch sessions are amazing and significantly ease the soreness. They also help with the back tightness that I get from sitting at my desk for hours.
Geist2's sampling and effects engine can twist your sounds into new forms. Layer samples with individual filters and effects, use crossfaded loop point modulation and Zynaptiq ZTX timestretch for new textures. New effects include:
PILATUS is a model that requires a meticulous selection of fabric in order to optimize the fit. For the swimsuit to adapt well to the body, it is essential to choose a four-way stretch fabric with a great percentage of stretch (lycra, polyamide or nylon). 2ff7e9595c
