Music Speed Changer ▶▶▶

I use this app to play music for a dance class as it allows me to instantly slow down or speed up the music to a useful tempo. The app has access to all the tracks in the Music app, but not to the playlists. The specialty music I use is from CDs so I own it and it all shows up in the lists as ‘unlocked’. Music that is streamed is locked and has some use restrictions. Other features I use regularly are making playlists, controlling the volume through the app, and setting markers in the music. I really love the fact that you can completely configure the interface to display only the functions you want in the order you want and even the color you want. This allows me to set up an uncluttered interface to display side by side with the dance instructions (in landscape mode). My wishlist for the developer is to import playlists from Music, as I plan my classes on my laptop and download them on the iPad - as it is now I have to find all the tracks again to rebuild the playlist. It would also be nice for the waveform zoom to have a setting to show the whole track - this way one glance would tell you where you are (more easily than the playback slider which looks like the volume and tempo sliders).

I was expecting an app like this to be one where you had to pay a bunch or have a subscription to use it properly, but that was not the case. It is free. I was expecting this app to be difficult to figure out but Music Speed has a very easy interface to understand and other good features making it very good for editing music or sound. I am using this app for playing sound over my old silent 8mm films, as playing the audio from the cartoon or film on a different device itself is far too fast. This app allowed me to slow it down and was very easy to figure out. I like how it is easy to input mp3 files, as I am not needing to use Apple Music you can also share and export for free as well which is quick and helpful to create music for your own videos. The interface is very easy to understand and I like the touch of customization Music Speed has to offer as well. It almost feels like an app made by Apple! Would definitely recommend this above the other apps I have tried.

I am a marching band designer and choreographer. This has been my favorite application to run parts of the show at a slower tempo while the kids are still learning. Since I work with musical pieces that are rather long, I wish there was a way to place in markers into the music so that you can easily get to a specific area in the track without scrolling but beyond that I love this app a ton. — CORRECTION — There is a way to put down markers as I looked further into it. Maybe a way to enhance the users understanding of that little gear that most of us suspect is settings and has nothing to do with editing options. I think thats just some UI confusion happening. Excited to use these markers!
