Product Description:

If you're a musician who likes to learn new songs and techniques by listening to the same piece of music over and over but wish that the music could be played a little slower, then you'll enjoy Amazing Slow Downer for Mac. This PowerPC program reads music directly from your CD-ROM drive and slows it down between 1% and 400% using a "time-stretching" method which does not change the pitch, regardless of the speed! Most programs of this sort require you to record the music first. Not with the Amazing Slow Downer. It processes the music in real time - just insert the CD and press the play button! You may also import and play MP3, AIFF, Wave and AAC/MP4 files. Other features include increasing the music speed up to twice the normal rate, pitch adjustments in semi-tones at full or lower speed, and more.

What's new in this version:

Bug fix - VBR mp3 files didn't play the last couple of seconds

I have been at this sort of thing for four decades. You used to have to slow records down to 16 rpm's to drop the music an octave and put it in half time. Them you had to drop the needle in just the right place, and hold as much in your head as you could to do a transcription, before finding the right groove to drop the needle in again. As computers came around, I longed for software like this, and eventually it arrived. I have tried them all over the years.

The developer of ASD updates with fixes constantly, and this app has every feature you can think of. Including dealing with the horrid DRM problems. The quality of my transcriptions has improved immeasurably with this app. If you think the UI is bad, look at the other apps with the same functionality. They are much worse. But I agree that the previous reviewers suggestions would be super, even though I don't have the same feelings about the current UI.

I'll tell ya, I am so delighted with this software that I have even learned to tolerate its name.

I don't have the time or energy to detail every feature that makes it so great, but maybe you can take the word of a guy who spends many, many long hours transcribing very fast and complex banjo and guitar music. ASD is a great app.

Amazing Slow Downer CommentaryUser Interface in DIRE need of fixing. - Version: 3.1.8, 1/9/2008 11:43PM PST

Request to Developer: PLEASE FIX THE TERRIBLE USER INTERFACE, OR GET SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU!

The functionality is GREAT and unmatched, but the more I use this program the more I realize it's extremely user-hostile.

Look at a program like WireTap Studio for an example. How about a waveform of the track so we can visually set start and stop points?

There are so many problems, I can't begin to list them all. The playlist needs to be a separate window, resizable, sortable the same way an iTunes playlist is. USEFUL.

I need this program to work FOR me. The developer updates it regularly, and regularly IGNORES these issues.

please HELP US!
