PG Music used to offer a program called Slow Blast that is no longer supported past Windows 7. Is anyone familiar with a similar program that I might use for slowing down recorded guitar solos, etc.?
Thanks!

If it's audio files, any DAW will usually be able to do this function by changing the time/speed while preserving the pitch. Because of that there would probably be few standalone programs just for doing that. Download.com may have some utilities.

I own and use Transcribe and Anytune Pro.
Both have Mac Versions and IOS Version.
Not sure of the Win and or Android world.
I find Anytune pro has a additional features I like that Transcribe does not.
Both slow down, alter key, loop, etc.
Anytune adds to that a lot of performance, set list, eq, features that I use for rehearsal and performing (whenever that happens again).
I have used a bluetooth pedal with Anytune for transcribing.
If you do a lot of this work, that feature is a nice to have.
Anyway, for simple copping guitar solos, either works fine.

I've used Amazing Slow Downer for years - and now I use Transcribe - they are game changers (and don't say that's cheating )
I like that transcribe saves bookmarks -my old version of Amazing Slow downer did not do that (across sessions) - but I think that's an important feature.

I just went to look at Anytune Pro and alas, it is Mac and iOS only.

I bought Anytune Pro for iOS (iPhone and iPad). I really like it. It works with fewer artifacts than other programs I have that are more expensive.
You can try Anytune for free in the App Store.

Matt,
Anytune also has a few in-app purchases available.
I added the midi/bluetooth feature. I think it was $5.
There may have been another to add high quality audio
That's a no brainer.
I've been using it for 3 years now, especially for gigging with backing tracks.
Its pretty solid piece of code.
The developer responds directly to queries, and keeps the feature set focused so its not all things to all people.
For transcribing and rehearsal/gigging, its hard to beat.

I agree on those 2 programs. Been using and testing for decades now and Amazing Slowdowner and Transcribe seem to have the best algorithms.
The real test of these types of programs is not how they can slow down to 80% of normal but how well they slow down to 30-40%. Most of what I have seen sound like garbage at that extreme level of modification but A.S.D and Transcribe seem to do it very well. To my ears, A.S.D seems to beat out Transcribe but A.S.D will not slow down Video whereas Transcribe will slow down video. You would need an addition program called Gstreamer to help Transcribe do it in the background but that add-in is free from Seventh String Software.
To this day, I still use them both.
As a sidebar, the slowdown settings that YouTube gives you when listening to or watching YouTube streams is absolute garbage compared to anything else.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
