There are a variety of different options available and ways to do it. I just tested it using the high quality tempo change setting and, the result is pretty good; much better than with VLC's compression method. It does take a while to process file...about two minutes to process a three minute song reducing the tempo by 15%. -----Original Message----- From: all-audio@groups.io <all-audio@groups.io> On Behalf Of Dean Masters Sent: April 25, 2023 1:53 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] Slow down mp3 I used the one in Audacity but it lowered the pitch unless I missed a setting which will let me slow it down but keep the pitch. I did notice a little less quality of the music but I think it would be OK for the guys to learn their parts.

I can't remember the name of it but can take a look. You may not be totally pleased with the results. This sort of thing involves stretching of samples and there is pretty obvious artefacting, although I guess not everyone can hear it. Still, it might be good enough for learning purposes. -----Original Message----- From: all-audio@groups.io <all-audio@groups.io> On Behalf Of Dean Masters Sent: April 25, 2023 12:53 PM To: All Audio <all-audio@groups.io> Subject: [all-audio] Slow down mp3 I am in a barbershop quartet and we are going to try to learn a new song. I have a recording which is up tempo. I would like to slow it down so we can hear the words and notes better. I started up Audacity yesterday and was notified there was an update so I let it update. I had never tried the tempo change and wasn't sure it had one but found it did. but when i used it it did slow it down but it also lowered the pitch. I would like to keep the pitch the same. Is there some setting I need to change to keep the pitch the same while changing the tempo in Audacity? Is there another free program I could use that would let me change the tempo but keep the pitch? Thanks, Dean -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
