isabel95 Posted February 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Found a program, "The Amazing Slow Downer" http://www.ronimusic.com/amsldowin.htmThe trial version worked nicely but only played for about 19 seconds!Unfortunately they want you to send cash to Sweden to buy the program!Isabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isabel95 Posted February 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Found my own answer...sometimes I am so blind!Why can't I record the music in the keyboard and then use the metronome to slow it down on playback and record from the playback...there I've just saved myself some cash!Isabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Isabel, you can get the same effect in Audacity, simply with Effect > "Change Tempo" (pitch doesn't change). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which version of Audacity do you have? I have 1.0.0 and it does not have the change tempo effect.Could you be using a beta version?Isabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Which version of Audacity do you have? Dear Isabel,since November 2003 Audacity 1.2.0-pre3 is available. I used several times this beta, and in my opinion it works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used several times this beta, and in my opinion it works very well. I downloaded this beta and yes it has the tempo change effect but when I click on "preview" it plays a few notes and then cuts off.I went to the Audacity website to report a bug and while they state they want to know about bugs they don't have a link to report them...at least where I can find it.To get back to the tempo slowing down...yes I was about to do that when I clicked on OK in the parameter setting box, but the preview seems to be non-functional.Isabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 "...when I click on "preview" it plays a few notes and then cuts offIt's not a bug, it's normal. Like in orther sound editors, "Preview" button allows to listen only few seconds of modified sound. But when you click "OK" the effect is applied to the whole selection.BTW, which is the format of music file you used? WAV? MP3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Isabel,When you are in MIDI mode, you can readily slow down the playback by changing the tempo in a sequencer program such as Orchestra Plus (Voyetra), or Cakewalk. Then when you transmit from your keyboard to the sound card for recording, the tempo will be as you want it. This would be preferable to changing it after you have already recorded it.The steps would be as follows: Create a MIDI file of your playing on the keyboard. Modify the tempo using the sequencer program. Save the resulting MIDI file and play it back on your keyboard, recording the result as you are now through your sound card.

Thought I already replied to this, but I don't see it posted.Thanks, Al.I realized I can use my keyboard to to slow down a recorded performance, so instead of recording directly to the computer I will record to the memory of the Fantom and then hopefully play it back and upload it to the computer at the same time, using the metronome to slow it down if necessary.Isabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to send cash through the mail, ANYWHERE.I find I don't need the program since I have several other free ways of slowing down the music.Isabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
