This is a real good bit of software that lets you slow down a CD or MP3 track without changing the pitch.
You can ajust pitch,EQ,L/R balance.
I Use this with "Soundforge 7.0"
Select the track you want to slow down in "Slow downer"....Ajust the speed/EQ so you can realy hear the steel...and record it into Soundforge.
You then "mark" the part of the track you want to learn and play it as a "loop"....or copy and paste to a new song and save.
You can use "soundforge' to record anything you can hear on your PC,U Tube/Myspace ect.
Real easy to use,You can download Soundforge + keygen
from ares.com or most p2p networks...I would"nt use limewire as I got a bad file frome them that realy mest up my PC.
Hears the link for Amazing Slow-Downer

Hi Bob,
I just downloaded bestpractice to compare....I think
Slow downer is a much cleaner sound + the EQ is handy.
But for free it works good.

Alot of folks are unaware that there may already be a "slow downer" on their computers. Windows Media players allows you to play at 1/2 speed while retaining pitch. Burn song into library, play song, click on the "play" drop down menu, click on "play speed", click on "slow".
Not great quality, no bells and whistles, but free and if your a pc user, good chance its already installed and running on your machine.
Im sure the above mentioned programs are better....but for us lazy/cheap people this might be an alternative solution. Hope its helpful to some. |

I've used the Slow Downer for some time. You can get down to near one note at a time, on pitch. I think that is very useful.
Steelin for fun,

ASD is a great little program. I paid for the full version and am happy I did so. I feel it's a good thing to support developers who make a musicians life easier.
Rock on... |

Another great transcription program is Transcribe! (The exclamation point is part of the name.) Transcribe! is free to try, $29 to buy last time I checked. It is Mac and PC compatible. Its interface shows an audio modulation envelope with a piano keyboard underneath. In addition to slowing and looping, you can isolate single chords or notes on the modulation envelope. The interface then places "dots" on the keyboard that correspond to the note or notes that have been selected. I have used Transcribe! for years. It just works, and the UI is great.
If you also play six string guitar, (especially Chet Atkins style and jazz chordal melody style), there is an online visual tutorial site:
http://www.lickbyneck.com/
Lick By Neck's visual interface shows the fretboard fingering used as the selected song plays. It's a great tool for learning guitar. It's a year old, and by now there are hundreds of songs already transcribed on the site to play and learn. Hope this helps!

| I paid for the amazing slow downer, and used it satisfactorily for about 6 months. I had a computer malfunction and lost all my stuff. Repeated emails for tech service help to Roni music over many months were ignored. Seems once they have your dough, you are history. Very un Swede like, and I think kinda shabby. Good product, lousy customer service. |

Today, i have tried to use both Nero and Windows Media Played to copy some tracks from a CD using Windows Media Player. I was able to copy tracks to Windows Media player, but I could not save the playlist I receieved a message saying these tracks were copied from another CD and could not be saved. Any ideas?

Tascam make a CD player, called the CD-VT1 Portable Vocal Trainer, which does the same thing. You can slow down any CD without altering the pitch. It does that by chopping the waveform into slices, and then putting it back together with a few of the slices duplicated several dozen times per second. I've used this on occasion to lower the entire pitch of one of my own recordings before adding the vocal.
They also make a Portable Guitar Trainer, although I can't see that it does anything different from the Vocal Trainer. I wouldn't buy both. |
