Guitar Shed by Astoundit Software is a one stop shop for all your guitar notation needs. Chord Library, TAB organiser, Tuner and track slow down feature too!
Amazing Slow Downer for Mac is an impressive piece of software that will slow down your music files or CD tracks on the fly without having to record them first, making it a perfect fit for burgeoning musicians. Because it works with your CD-Rom drive and doesn't require recording, it is faster and more accessible than other software that offers similar functionality.
Installation of Amazing Slow Downer is fast and the app will load immediately once you have unzipped the DMG file. The interface is all on one screen and is a bit dated. Without a clear tutorial onscreen you'll be clicking around to find the right buttons, but there is a Help file and the brief menus make it easier to pick this software up and use it even without clear instructions. The features here are unique, allowing you to play back any track on a CD or from your MP3 library at one to 400 percent speed without losing any pitch. The result is a perfect app for learning the notes in a song or dissecting a track on a note-by-note basis. Combined with numerous options for how to play back those tracks, make comments, or annotate, it's a great tool.
Amazing Slow Downer is free to try but does have some restrictions in the number of tracks it will play back on a CD pending a paid upgrade. Even still, if you are looking for a solid playback tool to slow down tracks while learning or editing, this is a great option and well worth trying.
