Anyone ever do this? Use Chronotron (Winamp) or some plugin, and slow down/speed up songs without changing the pitch.
It's kind of addicting... it's great to slow down fast guitar solos so you can learn them easier, take it note by note.
And it's just plain fun... slow down a fast song to a lazy pace, and sometimes it takes on a whole new feel.
And some songs sound better speeded up... slow bands like Pink Floyd and Tool and the like can be fun as hell to mess around with, make them punk song speeds and you'll see what I mean! BOC makes some slow ass shit, and speeding it up makes for some hyper sounding beats.
Of course, songs are a certain speed for a REASON, and it never sounds as good as the real product, the way the artist intended, but it's a new way to listen to familiar music.

I use my sound cards EAX settings to alter the pitch from time to time - it can be quite funny! There's a Male to Female and Female to Male setting - that's funny!

You may be on to something, Ophecks. Could add a new dimension to a DJ set - a familiar song turned into something else entirely. Though maybe not as cool as Towers of Dub backwards.

check out dj screw, before he died he had a huge southern US cult following as a dj who slowed down songs at pitches that made them completely different

No, it changes the tempo without changing the pitch. Won't make things sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks if you speed it up, and won't make things sound like Barry White if you slow it down... unless you ARE listening to Barry White. In that case... less gettit ON!!!

DJ Screw died?? wow. I remember when he first came around (I'm originally from the south), I even made "screw" tapes by taping from CD to tape with the tape recorder on the fast dub mode.. heh.

The pitch doesn't change, there's NO chipmunk voices or anything. Sounds the same, only slower/faster.
Slight quality drop when you slow it down of course, but it's still really cool. Still sounds good.

Try Pacemaker...You can do tempo like chronotron, but with a wider range; but you can also do pitch without affecting tempo too. There's also a slider for both tempo and pitch.
