SlowGold II

SlowGold II SlowGold is a learning tool for musicians. It can slow down music from CD-ROM 
or a .wav file without changing the pitch, aiding in transcription. SlowGold works simply, 
and includes many features. As you listen, you click to set the start and end times for the 
passage you want to learn. You can then study that part: adjust it, repeat it and slow it down 
until you've got it. Then increase the speed gradually, back to full speed. Play at whatever speed you want from 5% to 120%.

Key Features 
-Slows down sound from audio CDs and WAV files (the latter feature, only available after 
  registration, enables users to slow down material from LPs and cassettes) 
-Continuously-variable slowdown speeds: slow to any percentage of the original speed from 
  5% to 120%. (120% is faster than the original speed, for those times when the player needs 
  to be ready in case the song is started faster than usual.) 
-Pitch-shifting which allows you to change the key of the music, and real-time processing 
  which means you don't have to wait for the transformation to process. 
-A built-in utility that converts MP3 files into wave files.
-Graphic view of waveform makes it easy to create rhythmically precise loops a huge 
  convenience for practicing while listening to a passage repeatedly. 
-RhythmGrid(TM) transparent, stretchable ruler overlays graphical view to let you see the 
  exact rhythm of any passage. 
-Keeps a database of all operations, so whatever piece you're working on, you can pick right
   up where you left off. 
-Phrases can be easily isolated and trimmed with graphic sliders. 
-A comment can be attached to each phrase. The "Loop Detail" view also has places for Chords 
  and Lyrics, and an Export function that exports chords and lyrics to a text file for formatting
  and printing. 
-Karaoke-like "Big Lyrics" view to help singers learn lyrics and phrasing 
-Integrates with any notation, sequencer, or word processing program. Each track can be 
  associated with a file of any type, which is then called up when you choose "Open 
  notation/sequencer file" from the Track grid's right-click menu.
