IT DON’T MEAN A THING IF IT AIN’T GOT THAT SWING

I don’t know how to explain this any better than reader Hetal Bhatt already has, so I’m just gonna cut and paste:

So, apparently, some Python coders have developed a .WAV algorithm (sexily dubbed “The Swinger”) that makes any song “swing” by stretching the first half of its beat and truncating the second half. Check out what they did to GNR and Lars & Co. below…

“Swing Child O’ Mine”

“Swingin’ Sandman”

Details and source code are here. — I wonder if it could be pulled off with 180+ BPM blastbeats?

Most of the time the results are pretty good, but it does sometimes just kinda sound like the CD is skipping. Anyways, if someone who’s not me wants to see if it works with the aforementioned 180+ BPM blastbeats, by all means, let us know the results. The world is on the edge of their seats.
