Hi All, I am a fully paid up licenseholder for the amazingslowdowner from Roni music and can thoroughly recommend it. It can change pitch and speed over a wide range and maintain an acceptable tone-quality. - More on this later I've had a look at seventhstring and it seems very interesting.

Pardon my butting in here, but the program Bill was advocating is Transcribe! Trial version available at www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/overview.html Looks to be a very useful program as it allows not only slowing down the sounds, but also a graphical analysis of the notes (particularly useful wit

I think a lot of the Peacock sets are a bit like the Oswald ones, a slow ornate version of the tune and variations. Oswald makes this explicit sometimes by reverting to the basic tune at the end - but sometimes they are self contained, and sometimes have unrelated pieces attached. In Peacock's s

Hi Anthony, Bill Ochs was using a new shareware that slowed down videos while keeping the pitch. That is something I hadn't seen before. If you simply wish to slow down a sound file then The Amazing Slow Downer from Roni Music is a good choice. Visit www.ronimusic.com and click on "software

Hello Colin I seem to remember Bill Ochs at Killington this year demonstrating software which can slow down normal recordings whilst keeping pitch intact. Perhaps you could contact him: [1]b...@pennywhistle.com and spread the word if I'm right. Thoroughly agree about abc being us

I do so agree. The midi version does, however, have the benefit that it can be slowed down for those of us with not-so-agile-anymore digits :-) It also has the benefit of being able to be turned into the dots on freeware programs. Personally, I'd like both - a nice mp3 of "how it should sound in

Hello Colin It's not just the nasty tonal quality it is the lifeless, mechanical emptiness of the noise which rankles. This music gets its life and very existence from the human touch of individual phrasing and decoration. It is this more than anything which we need to appreciate
