If I recall a few years ago there used to be a program (from PG) called Slow Down(?) that allowed you to take an audio file and slow the tempo down so you can learn (say) a guitar solo. I'm wondering why it's gone and no replacement.
TIA (thanks in advance).

I believe it was called Slow Blast. The upgrade was called Slow Gold.

There is another recent thread about this that you may find helpful.

I've had Transcribe!, by Seventh String, for a few years now. It's pretty good and the price is still $39.00. Later, Ray

Just got on this system, so am way slow with this info.

If you are still looking for something, search for Roni Music's Amazing Slowdowner. It can be downloaded and used free for trial. It will work with music CD's, WAV files, etc. Used by many fiddlers for learning tunes. Will slow any music, will transpose, will loop. Fairly easy to learn and use. If you like it, you pay about $60, and get a code to unlock for full use.

I had Roni Music's Amazing Slowdowner, but Transcribe is so much better and a lot cheaper.

If you have an iPad or iphone "audiostretch" is very good. I prefer it over transcribe.

I second that. I have tried several slow down tools, and Audiostretch is really good. Simple user interface, and very good audio quality. There is a lite version for free, limited to 75%-125% speed range, which might be enough for many users. I bought the full version, partly since I sometimes need to slow down even further, and partly because I wanted to support the developer of the app since it provides great value.

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."
