After a few listens and before slowing down the recording (and before discovering the video from the recording session to the left), I was under the impression that the song was in 4/4 with a quintuplet rhythmic rate. Around this time last year, I started attempting to learn some of the parts from Tigran Hamasyan’s “Levitation 21” (Arthur Hnatek on drums), particularly the grooves played right when the drums enter. I typically learn songs by ear, but sometimes, drum parts are just too complex and fast for me to really work out the details. The clarity of the sound at slower speeds makes it much easier to decipher drum parts simply by listening. With the Amazing Slow Downer, the quality of the audio holds up superbly, even at 50% of a recording’s original speed.

For example, you can slow down a video or song on YouTube, but anything below roughly 80% of full speed results in a significant reduction in audio quality, which doesn’t really make it any easier to learn by ear. However, altering the speed of a recording often damages the audio, resulting in weird distortions and artifacts that really muddle details.

Having the ability to slow down a recording makes it much easier to pick out the details in a performance. This article will give an overview of the mobile iOS version, which can be found right here (but has to be purchased through the App Store on your device). Actually, there IS an app that does all of that and more: the Amazing Slow Downer.Īvailable on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, the Amazing Slow Downer puts a lot of power in the palm of your hand.
