Slowing down Django (for Mac only)

Lango-Django

What a great tip, thank you, gama!

"Audacity" it is!

(But anyway, mac users, I would still definitely recommend both iMic and Garageband for making home recordings...)

Why not just use Quicktime?
On a Mac or PC it'll slow down video, audio and also adjust pitch for free.
Just select "Show A/V Controls" from the Window menu. That's where you'll find the faders.

Yes, seanray, I do use QuickTime, but the version I have does not allow me to record anything, but play back only...

So this necessitates the complicated process which I talked about above:

-first I use GarageBand to copy the Django stuff I want off a CD

-then I use GarageBand to edit it down into bite-size clips

-then I "share" the final result to iTunes

-then I take the finished clips out of iTunes and dump 'em on my desktop where they somehow automatically turn into QuickTime files

-then I can play around with those QT files, just as you indicated.

Sounds good Will but you may want to consider dropping $29 on Quicktime Pro.

With the pro upgrade you can do everything you're describing, in one app, with a lot less time and hassle. With QT Pro you can edit all you want, set loop points, etc.

Just a thought.

Thanks for that info, seanray.

I'm one cheap SOB, but I'm going to consider spending that $29!

Can you get audacity for PC or only Mac?

Do you have a link for where to download it?

Thanks
