I’m looking for an audio app for learning tunes by ear. Ideally would have:
1- slow playback, without adjusting pitch.
2- loop selection - to play a segment of the audio over and over
3- pitch adjustment (some old recordings are out of tune)
Anyone have one they like? For android the closest I’ve found is Fossify music player, which offers feature 1.
For PC, audacity has all these features, but its pretty clunky to use.
You could eliminate that clunkiness by building an AutoHotkey script to blaze through the menu to select and slow down the recording in one press.
Audacity’s implementation is not just clunky, it isn’t good either. Compare that to Music Speed Changer on Android and you’ll hear a huge difference in quality.
Autohotkeys is cool but its a windows prog, so won’t work for me on linux.
When you speed up/slow down the recording, it has to process the whole file. That takes a while. You can’t just slide a slider to different pitches to see what’s right. Then you have to save the file someplace, think of a file name, put it somewhere reasonable etc. Or remember the pitch and do everything over again next time.
