@craiginker I’m trying to understand what your after?
I use Transcribe! to slow down YouTube vids. (I have a software called Airy by Altima that downloads YT vids, but I’m on a Mac.)
But it seems like since you’re liking ASD it’s better to just stick with that. Goal is to minimize the visibility of the technology so you can focus more on the music.
Audacity is fine for recording, but you could also just record yourself on a smartphone - it’s amazing how good audio they’re capturing these days!
Hope that helps!
