Just found this over on TDPRI, it works a treat because you can slow it right down but it retains pitch.

VLC is a good video player, interesting idea.
Has anyone tried the Riffstation software? You can slow down and it analyses any music you play through it and gives you the key, chords , you can separate out the guitar so you can play along etc. For $50 is seems good value... I'd be interested in a personal review from someone
http://www.riffstation.com/
I've just downloaded Riffstation ( for PC ) which has a 30 day free trial.
Current online price is 19.99E or A$29.90 ( three WIN licences ) so just bit the bullet after reading a bunch of reviews
Having a good read on TPRI last night "Band In A Box" gets some high praise as well, but I know nothing about this one
would love to hear what you think of Riffstation , Dave
I use the tempo tool in audacity to keep pitch. Works really well for those licks that are just too fast
I'm currently doing a bit with a couple of guys I played with back in the 70s, they both sing, one plays acoustic and the other plays lap steel with me on bass or lead.Quote:

Works a treat.
OK.
A bit of an update on Riffstation, I'm only using it for pitch and time shifting of some of the backing tracks so far and it's doing a very good job of it.
When I time shift all of the parts are remaining relative to each other and not sounding chipmunk or super balls so we are happy with the end product.
When I do this I "Save Audio " this saves it as a .wma file which is the only option, I then open it in Wavepad and resave it as an .mp3 to make it more usable.
If you do a "save project" rather than "save audio" it saves it in a Riffstation format as the only option which none of my media players will open and also won't load into Reaper.
Best $30 I've spent on software in living memory and to make it even better it is licenced for 3 PCs so I can legally share it ( my PCs )
thanks for the feedback on Riffstation , Dave. Might get this one
Too bad the dollar has tanked in the last week or so, also may be off special that was something I just jagged at the time.
Having said that I would have happily paid more for what it gives me
