Mint 19.3 Cinammon - Audacity 2.2.1 loaded from the Mint Software Manager.
I want to choose a small section of a song file and slow that section down with Change Speed and then loop the slow down section so that I can learn parts. Is there a way to do that temporarily and not have to actually set a section, run the change speed to it and not have it actually change the track replacing the original speed with the slowed down speed? I just want it to loop while I learn a part and then go back to the original speed after I exit the loop.
Right now I have to work on slowed down loops in a copy of the file. That works but it would be better if I could just do this on the fly. Does somebody have a workflow for this?
I’m a musician and I do that to learn the hard passages of a song.
What I do is copy the hard/solo parts in to a new Audacity file and there I change the speed, play the loops, etc to study.
So, I end with two audacity projects: One with the name of the original song at normal speed, and the other named with -SOLOS- with all the slowed down parts.
The only other option I can think for a temporary change is Ctrl+z
Of course the problem with that is that I don’t want to change the pitch. Sounds like that is not possible to do on the fly and requires processing it through Change Speed.
