Application: BestPractice
Category: Music & Video
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.
