That Solo is Too Fast: How to Practice at 70% Speed

You're trying to learn a lightning-fast solo. You go to YouTube and slow it down to 0.75x speed. Suddenly, the singer sounds like a demon from the underworld and the guitar sounds like a dying whale. You can't hear the notes because the pitch has dropped into the basement.

The Old Way: You struggle through it at full speed and develop bad habits. or you use expensive, complicated DAW software just to slow down one MP3.

The Bandfix Way: Slow down the time, not the pitch, with Speed Control.

  1. Upload the audio track to your song in Bandfix.
  2. Open the Audio Player.
  3. Dial the speed down to 70% (or whatever you need).

The pitch stays exactly the same. The singer sounds normal, just... slower. You can hear every nuance and nail the lick.

Pro Tip: Loop the difficult section using the A-B Loop feature in the audio player so you can drill it over and over without hitting rewind.
