Hi, I wonder if anyone is aware of an app that would transpose music so that the recording itself changes key . To let me play along with it. I'm trying to transpose without a capo or retuning. Thanks Malc

Music Speed Changer app by Single Minded productions on Playstore changes both pitch and speed independently. I use it all the time for doing what you want to do.

Hi Malc, I do it all the time with free software - AUDACITY. It is what I use to copy how people play. I can slow it down with or without changing the key/pitch. I have also used Audacity to correct the pitch of old records for remastering. www.audacityteam.orgShine On Michael

When I wrote my reply I hadn't seen the other posts. They all look good.

I have also used Audacity to correct the pitch of old records for remastering. www.audacityteam.orgShine On Michael I can second a recommendation for Audacity. My initial experience was using it to cut out a button hitting the back of a mic clip creating a clicking noise on a CEOs annual report speech. Downloaded in the evening, delivered pristine lip synced tracks before markets opened the next morning. Saved someone's neck and got myself a grateful return customer... For fun, lower a bass or guitar track a couple octaves. I've worked with pro tools, final cut pro and avid editing systems. Audacity is as good as anything I've seen and as Michal mentioned, the price is right. FREE! All best, Jeff

Hi thanks for your help. I tried music speed changer but it only appeared to let me change the pitch with a slider and not just enter the key which I was hoping to do. Ill try the other 2 tonight. Thanks Malc

Hi Malc,
In Audacity you will find the controls in "EFFECT" .....there's CHANGE PITCH, CHANGE SPEED, CHANGE TEMPO, and somewhere in all that you will find what you are trying to do.
I use it in many ways - if you want to change tempo and key, you'll find that 6% is approximately a semitone. I use this when I want to slow something down and get it into my pitch. So for example a Hawaiian steel guitar solo in A, when slowed down 12% will be in G. I have also used it to correct 78s that are running too fast or slow.
To save something and not destroy the original file; go to FILE and then EXPORT. Export it as an mp3 in the slower tempo and when you close the original file, DO NOT save changes.
You'll soon get the hang of it
Shine On Michael

My pleasure, Malc. I'm pleased it works for you.
It's a very useful application/program - I use it a lot and have done for years.
