Winamp Plug-in - Slow Me Down - Slows down the music without...

Author's Comment:

Slows down the music without changing pitch. Great sound quality!
This plugin lets you slow down or even speed up the music by stretching itbetween -50% to 70%. Without changing the pitch! You can also fine-tune thepitch in cents (100ths of a semi-tone) to suit your instrument.Version 1.02

Staff Review:

You can get some nifty effects out of this one...
I had some fun just loading vocal track mp3's and messing around with the stretch... great little tool for computer music producers and good food for your sampler as well. I think it would be nice to jazz up the interface a bit and also to add some more efx to it... sort of turn it into a mini Winamp multi efx processor. Not sure how much appeal this will have to the average Winamp listener... but, I can personally find much use for it. -dg

Hey, I've been using this plug for a few years now. When I first started using it I could slow the tempo by 100%, then it got to be that I would occasionally get artifacts at certain levels PLUS I could only go to 70% slower before the plug locked winamp up... which was ok with me. Now, and read on afterwards, now I can once again get the full range but I have CONSTANT artifacts at any level. The funny thing is that I didn't install a new version, just reinstalled the same ol' version... I suppose most of the problems come from the plug not being able to handle me upgrading winamp (now at 2.81). I could be wrong, but anyways, some folk say "this has artifacts or this doesn't have artifacts" but really it might be something more like your computer setup or winamp version etc. If this doesn't work for you try Pacemaker. Also, Ronnie has a MUCH more in depth standalone program for tempo and pitch control at his homepage (of this plug author), plus several other apps. They cost money tho and again are standalone... I got it but I REALLY would have the standalone be usable as a PLUG for winamp RONNIE!!!! Who wants to stop winamp and have to open another program to do what could be done in one program? Not me.Still, the standalone is nice, but now that it isn't working for me I am finally going to check out the new pacemaker beta (available through that authors homepage)... laters
