Does anyone know the name of the software program that slows down cd music but maintains the same pitch? It helps when transcribing music.

I can't see how this can happen, frankly ... the result must surely be "stretched" or distorted in some way (and there'll be some wiseguy/gal who'll prove me wrong within hours, to be sure).

Hi.
Mr. Wiseguy here.
It's stretched in time, of course, but the pitch remains the same. It's the "Amazing Slow-downer" http://www.ronimusic.com/ ... the same thing can be done with scaling & resampling in any decent digital sound editor, but this product rates a "truly cool" for ease of use.

The results aren't perfect, diz, especially if you are making very drastic changes in the time. However, for transcription it's definitely good enough. Such techniques can be used in electronic music, for example, to make two different recordings line up. If not abused (and if the software is good), the result can be indiscernable from the original.

There are many programs which do this. Usually they require that a track be converted to mp3. If you're running Windows there are a number of free options that are plugins for Winamp (http://www.winamp.com/).
I have a Mac and must pay. The one I use is called Transcribe!, $40 from Seventh String Software in the UK (www.seventhstring.com). It is a marvelous piece of software. I have only scratched the surface, but I can see that (for example) it offers a spectral display that shows you the pitches of the simultaneous notes of a chord for any given instant. For transcriptions I run it in a window next to a notation program.

Reed Kotler makes both Transkriber software (slows down to 1/12 speed if you can stand it) and also makes standalone "Music Analysis Recorders."
I personally use the Akai "Riff-0-Matic" with it's patented "Note Grabber" A bit vintage, but very effective.

Is there a non-computer related, stand alone unit for sale that will do the same job?

I saw an ad in the windplayer.com magazine for a CD player machine that will slow the music down without changing pitch. The cost was about $200. It is made by TEAC/tascom

(Said leaning on cane, in a wheezing voice): "Back in the olden days i'd put a Pete Fountain LP on my sister's 4-speed turntable and play it at 16-2/3 RPM instead of 33-1/3. I could play along at half speed, and the music was the right pitch an octave down, so i could learn all of those cool licks without going crazy. Still can play Muskrat Ramble note-for-note..."

As mentioned, the Amazing Slow Downer from www.ronimusic.com can slow down a CD while maintaining pitch. It also can change pitch while leaving the speed unchanged. You can, e.g., use your Bb clarinet while playing with a recording scored for A clarinet.

There's also a program called "Slow Gold" from worldwidewoodshed.com that is working well for me.
