They are both the same price. Is there any major differences between them?

I don't know about Transcribe, but Amazing Slow Downer works great. I can't think of anything that it lacks. Importantly, there is no substantial loss of sound quality when slowing down.

I prefer the user interface of Transcribe!, especially the waveform window.

Itīs a bit off topic but you might also want to give Slow MP3 a try - itīs a free program and can be programmed here: Slow MP3 - slow down, transpose and transcribe music

I started using it instead of Amazing Slow Downer a while back and never looked back.

i don't know either program that you guys are mentioning but every PC has windows media player ....has a great play speed setting function ...that's all i use ..works great - i love it!

when i started playing guitar i had to record a solo from record or cassette onto my dad's reel to reel then hit the half speed function and ofcourse everything drops an octave ...how things have changed!?

I use Transcribe, the last time I look at Slow Downer it had a haphazard interface that looked...rookie.

Transcribe is awesome, my personal favorite hands down.

And if you are on a Mac you can just use Quicktime player, it plays .wav, mp3, aiff, tons of formats, it also loops and allows you to play things at half-speed without changing the pitch. And it's free.

I tried Slow MP3 just now but it's bugging out. It starts at hyper speed when normal is supposed to be the max speed and even when you slow it down everything is still far too high in pitch.

Playing with the adjustments, reinstalling Java and reinstalling the player didn't help.

Looks like it's a great tool when it works as intended.
