If so, you have a Windows XP emulator. Might work. Windows 7 Home does not have the emulator. Slow Blast was pretty good. You are correct, I haven't seen it in BIAB in years. The step-up program, if I recall correctly, was called Slow Gold. Maybe that still exists out there somewhere? BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

Open that, there's Woodshed tempo plus Tempo percent buttons, 1, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. If you're not asking about slowing down a song for practice but you simply want to change the speed of any wav file, go to Real Band, import the file and then activate the pitch/time shift function. The new Elastique works really well, you can time shift a lot and it still sounds good.

I used to use Slowblast for slowing down recordings in manual Transcription of same. Now I use Audacity.exe, which has a very convenient system of slowing down the file without changing Pitch and the added advantage of leaving a lot less in the way of digital artifacts. You can also Highlight a section of an audio file that may be hard to hear and use the Loop playback feature to have it play over and over while you figure it out. Audacity is free download from Sourceforge -- do a websearch to find out where to get it. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

SlowGold is $40, but there is a try-it version that you can download.
