Hi David:
I use Snd for transcribing difficult solos for my students. I
recommend Audacity to them (because they're all using Windows) and
they've responded very favorably to it too. The price is right, try 'em
both. :)
Btw, I use either an SBLive or an M-Audio card with Snd, I've never
had problems with the time-stretching (which is really what you want
instead of pitch-shifting).
Best,
dp
On one of my systems, with a Hoontech card in it,
I can use snd to
change playback speed without changing pitch. On another system
containing a Soundblaster, snd won't change the pitch. Is this an
expected behavior?
I'm by no means an expert, so take this with a liberal amount of salt, but I
read somewhere that the creative chipset is locked at a 48000Hz sample rates,
and all other rates are produced by resampling in software.
Could it be that snd maintains the pitch by changing to a lower/higher
sample-rate in hardware?
BTW - thanks for the pointer. I've been looking for something that will allow
me to slow down guitar solos enough for me to rip them off, this might be the
one :)
