Review title of Keithamazing music practice tool

I have been using the Amazing Slow Downer for years as a music practice tool. The Chronotron takes it up a notch by allowing you to manipulate the pitch and tempo of YouTube videos and other video sources. With this capability, you can dissect songs, solos and musical lines in ways that were previously impossible. It's a great tool to help enhance your musicianship.

Review title of SteveGreat tool for musicians!

This app is great for learning technically difficult music. You can slow the music tempo down (or speed it up) while maintaining the true pitch. You can also add place markers to make it easy to jump to a certain points of interest in a song. There is even a loop function that allows you to play a portion of the song over and over as long as you like. I use it to learn lightning fast bass guitar riffs note for note. This app will also let you play back a song in a higher or lower key, which is great for vocalists who want to learn a song that is out of their normal range.

Review title of CharlesGreat App

I am a square dance caller and a part of my requirements is to be able to adjust the temp and the pitch individually. This app does just that - and saves the settings. Because of what I am using this for, I have requested a few changes/upgrades to the software and the developer has been very gracious in adding many of those requests. Other software that I have seen which changes pitch/tempo does not have the good sound that this app does. I have tried changing the pitch/tempo quite a bit, and there does not seem to be any distortion. The software I am using now just does not play well with Windows 8 and I'm hoping that this will be a good replacement on my tablet. The price on this app is very good. I would have been willing to pay 10 times that much (which is still less than the software I am using now). I am giving this a rating of 5 stars because it works great for what it was designed for.

Since the latest Upgrade,I had some problems with the application getting stuck when playing vidoes. However, their support responded quickly to resolve the problem. I turned off cast shadows on transparente controls and the problem was resolved. Kudos to the developers!

Very functional and easy to use app that does all that it says. I had an issue recently with the YouTube downloader and the support team got back to me quickly and posted a update to resolve my issue. Gotta love that! Thanks

Review title of BobWorks REMARKABLY Well!

Pretty easy to use; fairly intuitive. Does a great job shifting Key and Tempo. The EQ works well to isolate instruments of interest. I was amazed when a vocal track even sound great when shifted up/down.

Review title of Jenpretty good!

I got this app so that I could listen to audio lectures and speed them up. I like that I am able to speed it up and slow it down to any pace I choose (I think it goes up to 3x fast). The only thing I do not like is that it is not easy to have the screen small to allow me to easily access this program, as well as powerpoint and/or word. I am not sure if this is a Windows 8 issue or an app issue. It is possible to split the screen, but it is not as simple as it is when splitting two regular windows. Sorry if this does not make much sense; I do not know enough computer lingo to explain this better.

Review title of daleWorks great

Have been using this software for over two months. Love the YouTube connection. The Tempo and Hold functions allow one to correct finger and fret positions. As a guitar player, looking at the fret board on the display, you get used to doing a little mental gymnastics. If the display could be flipped or mirror image made that would be a nice tool to have....GREAT program as it stands

Review title of Marceasy and intuitive

This is the best slow down app. Intuitive to use, with many variables to adjust. The looping and marker functions are great.....I'm learning to play harmonica and the constant repetition I can get with the looping and slow-down is a perfect aid. Also, changing the key of a song helps in getting other musicians to join in the practice sessions.
