Favorite Slow Downer iApp?

[PhiloB]

Downloaded Anytune free.  The $14.99 version seems very feature rich but I hesitate to recommend a $15 app to my students.  Anybody have any input or alternatives?

Get the free version, and wait, because every now again they have a sale on the 'in app' purchases. The Anytune 'all bells and whistles' version, is much, much better! The sound quality is well worth the £12 or whatever it is!

That looks really cool. I use amplitube. You can import songs and slow them down and play along.

I have Anytune ProPlus and love it. It's the only slow-down type app / program I have found that actually works and the investment was well worth it. On my iPad it is great. Shows my library and remembers the settings for each song so I don't have to reset everything when ever  I want to go back and work on the song. And the slow down plus looping song parts is perfect for learning parts.

Yeah, it's so good i think i may have paid for it on my iphone and ipad. I use transcribe on my macbook, but it's not as accurate in terms of sound quality.

I'm using "Capo". A little pricey but works great! User friendly and you can loop specific sections. Also you can change the pitch of the song you are listening to....ala up a half step for SRV stuff so you can keep your geeetar in standard tuning.

Great feedback thanks.  Think ill have to pay the $15 so I can recommend with confidence to my students;)

I use the free version of AnyTune, and it does what I need just fine. Granted, my needs are somewhat simplistic.

... did anyone else see the subject and think this was a thread about Sunn O))), Crowbar, and Earth?

BTW anyone on Android?

I tested the free version of Anytune with the intro guitar lick to David Bowie's Fame and the 'Basic' audio was so bad you couldn't hear most of the lick. If I demoed the high quality of the same lick it sounded fine.  Guess it depends on the song as to how useful the free basic setting is.  FYI

[hammerheadmusicman]

A lot of it also depends on the bit rate of the track

[PhiloB]

Good point.  Didn't consider that.  This was a file from YouTube.  I'll try one of my own mp3's.

[kothoma]

I always use uncompressed audio for phase vocoder time stretching.
Remember mp3 is already run through a phase vocoder once, throwing out stuff you could need in slo mo.
I have no idea what youtube does to audio. Compressed bit crushing? Stay away.

I was just trying out the 'import for YouTube' function.  What you're saying makes a lot of sense though. I usually use AAC when importing from a CD.  Using MP3 as a generic term:)
