About:

BestPractice is a musician's practice tool, to slow down or speed up music, either from an MP3 file or directly from a CD. Ordinarily the sound is distorted when slowed down our sped up - you get the effect like when playing a 33 rpm record on 45 rpm speed (remember the Chipmunks?). BestPractice tries to correct this, so you can slow down and speed up music, while keeping the original pitch. It is also possible to change the pitch of the music without affecting its tempo. Play along with for instance Eb tuned guitars without retuning your own, or slow down that high-speed guitar solo on a CD that you like to learn.

Notes:

Being a musician myself (casually at least), I find this tool very useful for learning new songs. if you slow down mp3 files too much they'll start sounding bad but that's just because mp3s don't have the full data from the cd in them.

I always miss something when i'm copying and pasting like mad. :) . Is there supposed to be an AppSouce.txt? there isn't one in John's apps i've looked at like vlc or notepad++

Hi, I translated into Spanish some of the programs of portableapps and correcting bad translations.
This program has a number of translation errors.

thanks, but you renamed the language file so i'm not sure if you want me to rename it back and replace the es default.mo file or put it in its own folder.

Hello, sorry. You can rename the file and replace it default.mo :)
