I'm looking for a computer program which will slow down a composition so that I can transcribe it, also to be able to keep up with the soloist's pace.
One such program is Amazing Slowdowner, and the free version looks good.
Has anybody bought the full version? Did you send cash through the mail? Was the full program as advertised?
What other programs are available for this purpose?

I got Transkriber. If you do a google search you can find plenty of places who sell. It seems to work OK and does a decent job of slowing down a CD without changing the pitch. It will also split out a solo vocal and play back just the accompaniment.

Both Goldwave and CoolEdit will do the job. If you search long enough you should find "free" older demo versions.
A great teacher gives you answers to questions
you don't even know you should ask.

Pacemaker (I think that is how it' called) is a free Winamp plugin. It's not the most sophisticated one but it does slow it down to about half speed. It doesn't work on CDs though you will need to turn it into an mp3 first. Only upside to this really is it's free.

Look up ""Slowgold" on the internet - you can download such a programme.

The Amazing Slow Downer from www.ronimusic.com ($40 US) is perfect for this. Will transpose pitches as well, if you wish.

Windows Media 9 (or 10) slows down the tempo too. You have to first convert the file into another format from the CD (like WAV or MP3, WWM) so that it will work.

Just coat the shiny side of the CD with thick grease, that will slow it down.
Glad I could help, no problem --- you don't have to thank me.

I don't know about that, but it might contribute to a thick and sluggish articulation!

I am well satisfied with the Amazing Slow Downer, it can loop little portions and works well in general.

I'll second the vote for Transcriber as well. Aside from being relatively easy to work with, it's also available for the Macintosh system.
The interface is obviously designed by someone not too worried about such things, but once you get past the ugliness of it all, you'll do just fine.
I use it a lot for transcription of jazz solos, and to date, I've not found a CD quality recording that could not be "broken". The program also has a pitch matching system that you can use to accurately determine what note you're hearing at any time.
