I'm finding it a little difficult trying to learn fast fiddle tunes from CDs and something like this would make things much easier for a simpleton like me. Does anyone have any info on this please ? |

The free version lets you work on the first couple of tracks of a CD, so you find out how easy and useful it is to use. To upgrade to the full version, you pay them about £20 (memory fails me, but it's not much), and they send you a password. It lets you slow down whole tracks or bits of tracks, or just a little riff, and you can slow it exactly how much you need to. You can also change the pitch if its not in tune with your instrument. I'd have given my right arm (that can't be right) for one of these when I was learning the banjo. Ray (absolutely no connection with Roni Music, just a very satisfied customer) |

I don't have time right now to search for one, but if you do ... BTW, the sound quality is usually awful, but good enough to play along with. Steve |
