rubberband (audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting) Rubber Band is a library and utility program that permits you to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of one another. Starting with version 1.8.2, rubberband can be built with optional Java JNI support. To do this, install jdk or openjdk, make sure its profile script has been sourced (normally by logging out & back in), and build rubberband with JAVA=yes set in the environment.
