Well basically, a time stretch changes the tempo (and the duration) of a sample (can be a loop or a sound) without changing the pitch (so no Kanye chimpmunk or DJ Screw demonic voices).
You can compress or expend the sample to a certain point... Of course, if you stretch too much, the sound will be kinda choppy.
People use it to make a sample fit to their beat, if the loop's tempo is not the same as the one of the beat... and for other purposes also!

ok basically it works with % so if the original is 175 bpm.. and the new version needs to be...
90 bpm
Then 175 is 100%
175 / 100 = 1.75
90/ 1.75 =51.4286
So u need to strethc that with 51.4286 %... u get me?
basically this i s too much.. something betwween 0 - 10 is acceptable...
hope it helps..
Peace

man time stretch is a life saver, if ur working with fruity slicer u can just load up ur chops and after u put together a melody or somethin if theres some extra space u can just slide that timestretch bar up and itll stretch the samples to fit everything, timestretch is real nice, u cant go past like 130 wihtout getting some weird results however, but usually u don't need that much

Time stretching is where the sound is digitally sliced up into thousands of pieces and then those pieces are spread out to give the sound extra length. The gaps are filled in with duplicate slices where neccessary and then all slices are cross faded to give smoothness.
Time compression follows much the same principal, the difference being that slices are taken away to shorten the sound. Again cross fades are applied on every slice point.
The more you stretch or compress, the worse the artifacts will be. Extremes will produce a stuttered effect or in some cases a hollow effect.
Trim stretching / compression is the easiest and most effective moethod. It is found in most soft sequencers. It saves having to specify percentages and such.
