There are a lot of options available for arranging and organizing what you see on screen.Īnother nice feature is that it can be set up to play back loops with as many repetitions as you like - and will increase the tempo along the way, according to how much increase and how many repetitions before each increase. Slow down (speed up) adjustments are in 1% increments up or down. Like most players - you can set it to play a song once, repeat it endlessly, play through your list, or select tunes at random. I use it more that iTunes - it is my player. It will allow for playlists to be generated from within a playlist (library). One of the things that sold me on mTrax is that it is a music player too, that you can build a play list so that you aren't having to load individual music files each time you what to hear something - and will play back most any format. What other things are important in a slow downer? These are the list of comparitive qualities that I have as part of my comparison: I have it on my to-do list to do a comparison of a bunch of different slow downers. I also use Amazing Slow Downer which does a good job of preserving the pitch and quality of the track. Oh yeah - thought it would be worth adding - even the setting you make with the 10 band equalizer will be the same. Its hard for me to not say anything when the opportunity presents itself.Īs I said above - I haven't found a program that has more features or works better. No more re-tuning the instrument or tweaking the pitch in the program, or even opening or loading the file for each tune when you want to play it. All the songs are in different keys but still tweaked to standard pitch. And I have another that I use to practice solo material with the guitar. I have a list in A, one in D, and one in G. So the next time you start the program - all your settings for every music file is still there. Its nice to let the player go through a playlist with 50 tunes - and all the tunes in the list are tweaked to the same pitch. Whatever you did to the tunes the last time you played them in mTrax (pitch, tempo, loops of cut sections from the tune), that's the way they are saved, automatically - until you change it again. I keep a ledger with the location settings to retrace my steps. With ASD you start over each time you leave the tune. I very much like the idea of being able to save each tune separately, complete with its speed settings and markers. From what I gather transcribe has more options. We have all gone through the same time.A SLow Downer program can be humbling when applied to our own music.ĪSD is very basic and gets right to the point, I use it a lot. That was not meant to be a negative criticism, but an instructional one. Hopefully, he will improve his playing so that he enjoys listening to himself. My point was that if he didn't like to hear how he sounded on recordings, then to remember that that is what WE have to listen to when he is playing. It might also be frightening.!!! I DId have the occassion to discuss with a fiddling friend that he should listen to himself on recordings. Yes, it would be interesting to listen to ME slowed down. I think I've only done it once and I can't recall the details but I remember that it was quite the eye-opening experience. Try listening to one of your own recordings slowed down. Just when I really want to study something. I use Transcribe! on my computer and ASD on my phone. Other programs of this type exist, but the Amazing Slow Downer does more than I need, is problem free and easy to use, and their computer support is better than any other software I am currently using. When computer problems caused problems, Roni Software always helped to reload the program, and at no cost. ![]() Years of using this software, and I have never had a problem. If part of a tune is difficult, I set the "start" and "end" points, and play that material over and over. Finally, being able to change pitch can be useful. Easy to use when copying CD files to a hard disk. I play a file the designated number of times, and change the tempo each time a file is repeated. I use the playlist function for just about everything I play on a regular basis. I use it to speed up/slow down software, but it does lots of other useful things. Except for the operating system, I use this software more than anything else. I have used "The Amazing Slow Downer" for a long time.
