I found in the Effect menu of audacity "Change Tempo" which changes the speed 
without affecting the pitch. (exactly what I wanted)  I'm happy.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  

Mark

You need a time-stretching tool http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ :
"Rubber Band Library is in use in [snip] open-source applications
including Ardour digital audio workstation, the SooperLooper live
looping sampler, the StretchPlayer audio player and the QTractor
sequencer. You can also find it in Breakfast Quay's own Rubber Band
Audio Processor.

Hth,

Ralf

Were you using the Change Speed Effect or Reduce Play-at-speed[*1]
(slider with Green Play button)?

Audacity crashes (Squeeze) if you reduce the speed[*1] more than approx
0.29X - but you're not going to want to play slower than 0.7x.

I have done this with audacity without lowering the pitch.  It can be
done.

You could have a look at rubberband-cli package (if you're not afraid of 
the command line) - it is in squeeze.

Music software

2012-01-24 Thread Mark Neidorff
Morning,

I'm running Mepis which is a squeeze spinoff.  I have started taking music 
lessons.  My instructor plays a tune and I record it.  I want to then play it 
back slowed down, without changing the pitch of the notes so that I can "play 
along."  Tried audacity (1.3.12), but it lowers the pitch of the notes when I 
slow the music down.

I'm looking at a package called mixxx.  There is a version for lenny, wheezy 
and sid, but not for squeeze. (yes, I tried debian-multimedia).  Does anyone 
have either a suggestion for how to get the sid package working or another 
package that will do the job for me?

Thanks,

Mark
