SlowGold slows down the speed of CD audio without changing the pitch to help you transcribe your favorite riffs and music at a slower speed.
It works by allowing you to make loop points at the beginning and end of a musical passage you want to learn and then slowing it down for repeated playback. After you get the hang of the loop, you can gradually raise the speed until you can play it at the normal speed.
World Wide Woodshed also has a more affordable version of SlowGold with less features called SlowBlast. The features are compared on the Feature List and Comparison page.
