I so agree with Ed here. There is no learning curve. Change the speed ,change the key. Pick out 3 bars over and over , 10 seconds in between. Slow it down 10% Take out the bass side get the words that you can't understand. Good support, they have improved it. Works on Mac. Just what us music junkies always wanted. Jerry
I have used a tascam (about $159)to slow down, change keys, and maybe best of all, loop segments to play a bazillion times over.
You just pop in a cd and go. It takes a bit of fussing with it to figure it out, but not bad.
I haven't used mine in quite a long time, but I used to.
You could check on ebay. Zzounds.com is a good co. to check out for this type of stuff, and I have found that they have good reviews on lots of gear.
I usually use Sound Studio. Pitch and speed are tied together, which isn't what you always want. There is a 'fader' you can slide to zone in on the pitch; Getting that Bb flat tune to match you C accordion. If you change pitch by 100%, you'll get half the speed and one octave lower, cool for trying to figure out all those tough little licks.
