history

Project history and usage

SoundTouch is Olli Parviainen's open-source audio-processing library for independently changing audio tempo, pitch, and playback rate, with the `soundstretch` command-line utility packaged alongside it.

Project history

The official README carries copyright years from 2001 through 2025 for the library and documents the Codeberg Git repository as the project source. The SoundStretch utility is documented separately with copyright years from 2002 through 2024.

The change history shows long-running maintenance across build systems and platforms: GNU autotools support, CMake support, Android support, OpenMP acceleration from the 1.9 series, SIMD and autovectorization work, and library/API fixes through the 2.x series.

Adoption history

SoundTouch became the kind of low-level multimedia component that distribution packagers expose both as a library and as a small CLI utility. In this input it is present through Homebrew as `sound-touch` and through Debian/Ubuntu as `soundstretch`.

How it is used

Developers embed the library for tempo, pitch, rate, BPM, and time-stretch processing. Command-line users use `soundstretch infilename outfilename [switches]` for WAV audio, including tempo changes, pitch changes, playback-rate changes, BPM detection, and stdout piping.

Why package nerds care

Package nerds care about SoundTouch because it is both a classic Unix-style media library and a testable CLI. It exposes real audio-DSP behavior while still building with familiar portable toolchains such as autotools and CMake.
