Disquiet Junto Project 0536: Metaphor Play
The Assignment: Take a favorite figure of speech as a creative prompt.

The short story: Good Things Take Time, and so did this.

The long story: This was planned to be "My Memory Seems To Be Clouded" and it mainly consist of Bastl SoftPop2 recordings (sometimes via MI Clouds) plus some Drum VST, but I somehow did something wrong with the recording. In Reaper it was 4 Minutes and normal, after exporting it was 4 Minutes and way too fast. Just scaling down the tempo to the half didn't work, as the stretching algorithms destroyed the sound in a way I didn't like. I was sure that the problem was just some setting anywhere, but I was no able to locate it. I started things new, reinstalled things, re-arranged the crazy Mac aggregate device and so on, and after some time even old tracks had a wrong tempo and I checked my coffee for psychedelic mushrooms. At the end it was something with "96khz versus 48khz" after I had used another recorder for line recording this week. Learnings: Reaper has a general setting for the sample rate of recordings and a project based setting for only this project. Wave editors like ocenaudio can change the sampling rate without changing the lenght, editors like Audacity can change the sampling rate so that by reducing it to the half the track is double the lenght – and no stretching is needed, all samples are saved. By some unknown quantum karma this turned out to be the conversion I needed, although it is now 8 minutes. Fun fact: So at some stage Reaper definitely showed a wrong lenght, and I remember that I already thought "this somehow sounds longer than 4 minutes … is it ambient or just boring?". Anyway, it took some time to get this result as wanted, because Good Things Take Time (which may more be more of a proverb that a metaphor, but I did'n want to emphasize the Valley Of Dispair subtext …).
