  • [Solved] How Can I Bounce Time-Stretched Clips and Still Have Them Sound Lo-Fi?

So here's the problem.
 
I time-stretched a clip by 394% and it gives this wonderful stuttering sound that fits perfectly with the music. So far, so good. BUT any attempts to turn it into an audio clip, or bounce it in any way (including bouncing it to a track, mixing down, etc.) causes the iZotope algorithm to kick in and make it sound good. I tried the different AudioSnap offline algorithms, but all of them think I want the clip to sound as good as possible, not preserve its craptacular stuttering sound.
 
I've tried dragging the clip to the desktop, opening it in Sound Forge, opening it in loop construction but it seems no matter what I do, the stretching element is an overlay to the clip and the nasty sound that results cannot be made permanent. At this point the only thing I can think of is sending the track to an audio out, patching it back into an audio input, and recording it as audio.
 
Does anyone have a better idea? And yes, I know I'm crazy, so we don't need to debate that

it should have "same as online" as one of the options for offline bounce.  You're liking the groove-clip (or whatever) and/or the percussion algorithms, which are what's available online.  "Same as online" should do it - haven't tested in X3 but I can't see any reason why they'd remove it.

Loopback through the interface and record it to another track or use a VST recorder.

Wow, instant gratification!!!
 
Brian - "Same as Online" is one of the options for Offline Bounce (and yes, Groove Clip was the suitably low-fi algorithm), but when I selected it the drop-down menu still showed Radius Mix so I figured there was a bug and I couldn't access "Same as Online."
 
However, because on the internet you said it would work, and everything on the internet is true, I tried it anyway and it worked. Seems the bug is the drop-down menu not showing "Same as Online," not that it's stuck on Radius Mix.
 
So now I have my craptacular clip and my cover version of "Can't Explain" is almost mixed. Thank you!

And scook - for future reference, got any favorite VST recorder you would suggest?

I have used HGS WAV Recorder in the past, still looking for a 64bit alternative.

better report that bug.  It always behaved correctly before - I used it a bit in version 8.3
