Amazing Slow Downer is processing the sound in real-time during playback using advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) techniques.
Slow down type Depending on what type of music and what instrument you are focusing on, use the one that suits your music the best.
Stretch / Speed 100% means that the time is stretched by 100% and the music will be played back at half the tempo.
Speed / Stretch To reset to the original speed, hold down the Option key while clicking on the slider. Use key command [T] to toggle between full-speed and the previous setting. See Default Keyboard Shortcuts for other useful key commands for setting the speed.
Pitch To adjust the tuning, move the slider by dragging the handle or by clicking in the area between the handle and the arrows. As an example: to change the key from C to E, raise the pitch by four semitones. Key command: [/] or [*] on the numerical keypad. To adjust a tune that is slightly above or below standard concert pitch, click the left or right arrows. Key command: Shift + [/] or [*] on the numerical keypad. The current setting is displayed at the status bar at the bottom of the screen. Holding down the Option key while clicking on the slider resets it to a zero
position. Note: Raising the pitch an octave is sometimes useful when transcribing bass lines and low-pitched instruments.
Mix - Left/Right Holding down the Option key while clicking on the slider resets it to a center position. Keyboard shortcuts: The current settings are shown in the status bar at the bottom right of the
window.

Graphic Equalizer - EQ The graphic equalizer has seven preset frequency bands ranging from low bass to high treble - 60, 150, 400,1000, 2400, 6000, and 15000 Hz.
Holding the [Option] button down while clicking on a slider sets the volume of the selected frequency band to a flat position. Holding [Option] + [Shift] down while clicking on a slider sets all the sliders to a flat position. You can store and recall up to ten presets for the EQ. Press [Control]
+ [Shift]+ [0]...[9] on the main keyboard to store your settings and
[Shift]+ [0]...[9] on the main keyboard to recall your settings.
Right/control click on a EQ slider to display a drop-down menu that duplicates
the keyboard commands for storing and recalling the presets. If you don't need any equalization, turn it off by un-checking the EQ button, keyboard shortcut [Q].
Karaoke / Vocal Remover - KA Amazing Slow Downer has two different versions of the stereo cancellation algorithm, one that results in mono output (the ST button unchecked), the other with stereo output (the ST button checked) where the stereo image will be kept intact. Use the Mix slider to "zoom in" the instrument/vocals, it may not always be recorded in the exact middle of the stereo field. The Karaoke function will usually also remove the bass, kick/snare drum etc. Use the EQ “Low” slider(s) to "get back" some of the lower frequencies and the “High” slider(s) to "get back" some of the higher frequencies. Raising the “Middle” slider(s) will bring back the center channel that was removed. In stereo mode, having all three sliders all the way down will add nothing back and in mono mode, having all seven sliders in the middle position will add nothing back. Use this to practice to music with vocals/soloists removed or to ease transcription with unwanted instruments removed, keyboard shortcut [K].
