When learning music often the tempo is too fast to easily grab notes and chords being played. Anyway, by slowing down the music to a more moderate tempo, it's easier to listen and this makes musical instrument practice much more effective.
So, do you want to learn how to play fast licks from any CD, mp3 file, or wave file? You can do that easily with some software that slow down music. With just a couple of mouse clicks, you'll be playing along with a loop of any phrase at any speed, at the original pitch, with great sound quality (usually, you can also filter frequencies with an equalizer).
Slow downers make it simple for anyone to play fast licks by starting at a slower pace. You will hear nuances of playing technique impossible to hear at the original speed rate. And you will start playing at a comfortable speed. You will improve your skill in just a few sessions.
A good slow downer should:
- allow you to slow down any song while keeping the pitch the same
- be compatible with the most common audio file types (such as mp3, wav and wma)
- allow you to save changed songs
Imagine: no longer will you have to search for sheet music containing transcriptions of undocumented solos by your favorite heavy metal band, jazz pianist, guitarist or sax player. If you have any recording, you can play along with it at a speed that works for you, at your current skill level. You will play along with the great ones.
Furthermore, slowing down music software isn't just for music students: it is perfect for busy professional musicians too.
