How to get the absolutely BEST results.

Hi guys, I have a question - It has two parts: I need my results to be the best possible.
1.) Is there a difference between the algorithm in Pitch 'n Time LE (Logic) and the one used in Pitch 'n Time Pro (PT Version). In other words if I need the ultimate results should I do the conversion on my friends HD rig or should I use LE on my Logic rig?
2.) For the best results should I time stretch each audio file in my session or should I stretch the stereo mix? (Does stretching Globally or Individually give the best results?) Are there artifacts that will build up if I stretch each seperate audio file in my session? If I stretch the stereo mix, should I stretch before or after dithering? Mastering?

Hi savage1.
LE is exactly the same as algorithm A in Pro.
For question 2 here's some advice from our resident expert: serato.com
Let us know how you get on.

When aiming for the best possible results with Pitch ‘n Time, there is generally no major difference in core algorithm quality between Pitch ‘n Time LE (Logic) and Pitch ‘n Time Pro, but the Pro version offers more advanced controls and precision, making it better suited for professional workflows, especially on high-end systems like an HD rig. For optimal audio quality, it is recommended to time-stretch individual audio tracks rather than a final stereo mix, as this preserves clarity, minimizes artifacts, and allows better control over each element; stretching a full stereo mix can introduce more noticeable degradation because all frequencies are processed together. Additionally, performing time-stretching before dithering and mastering ensures cleaner results, as these final processes should only be applied once all edits are complete. Just like troubleshooting technical issues step-by-step—such as fixing connectivity problems explained here tmsim.ph handling audio processing in stages ensures higher quality and fewer unwanted artifacts in the final output.
