Learning a new piece of music can be a definite challenge, and it’s nice to be able to slow down your recording of a song to aid in committing it to memory. You might also find times when you want to adjust the pitch of a song for learning. Most apps that do this use complicated setups of buttons and sliders, but Transcribe+ Elegant Slow Downer and Time Stretcher is considerably different.

If you want to adjust the pitch up or down, it's easy.

Transcribe+ provides you with easy controls to set the pitch higher or lower, shown in semitones, for learning songs in different keys.

You can also adjust the pitch of your song, allowing you to learn it in your own preferred key. This makes the app great for sopranos trying to learn songs with a tenor lead, for example, or vice versa. The controls are simple to learn, just requiring you to swipe up or down to set the pitch to the number of positive or negative semitones you want it to play back in.
