In the past, musicians used to slow tape machines down so they could hear better what was being played, and so they could practice at a slower tempo before speeding up.
Also some songs are not in a perfect tuning due to tape speed and other issues - sometimes intentional.
To slow down songs, change pitch or even reduce original instruments I use Anytune. There are many other tools out there that do the same job, but for me Anytune just works.
In this episode I will review the Mac version and show some of its uses. It is also available for iOS, ipadOS, Windows and Android.
