Newbie---Is it possible to slow down a mp3 song? #278182 01/04/15 02:29 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP gaelyn Enthusiast G Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 58 Oregon, USA	Another Newbie question---I remember where the video function is capable of slowing down (-12%, -25%, -50%, etc) a song after it has been extracted from a video. The video function does not allow me to import a mp3 file. It there another way to do the same slow down with a regular mp3 file without losing the pitch? I already have the AmazingSlowDowner software which does a good job. It would just be slightly more convenient it I could accomplish the same task right within BAIB. Thanks.

Works with mp3 & wav files.... changes key and tempo. results vary. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Should play normally. Then adjust speed with "%" (with no pitch change) to the right of Tempo. Quality seems pretty good to my. Then, of course, if you change the key in BIAB, the audio changes appropriately. I have used SlowDowner. Good quality but limited and bad UI. Then went to Transcribe. Really good program. But now with it so easy in BIAB, and it handles audio, midi, and video at once, what could be better. Now, if you want to align BIAB tempo (and measure advance) with the audio, look into BIAB,s Audio Chord Wizard. Good luck. kelso Dell Desktop XPS 8100 W10 HomePrem/64 / Core i5 760 (quad, 2.8GHz) / 8GB DDR3 / 1 TB SATA / ViewSonic VG2428wm / EMU1616 PCI / Event ASP6 Active Monitors / BIAB 2019 64 bit (609) / Cakewalk
