Cedar Announces Respeed<br />
Cedar <strong>Audio</strong> has announced the imminent arrival of Cedar Respeed, its<br />
new audio restoration and speech enhancement tool. Respeed identifies<br />
unwanted speed changes in audio. Once these have been determined,<br />
the track can be processed many times faster than real-time. The result is<br />
greater pitch stability and, when used on speech<br />
signals, improved intelligibility. Musical pitch<br />
variations such as vibrato and glissandos are not<br />
affected.<br />
In addition to wow, Respeed addresses random<br />
speed fluctuations and continuous rises and<br />
falls in speed caused by problems such as failing batteries in analogue<br />
recorders.<br />

early stage.<br />
