Pro Tools

I am a new user of ProTools and barely know my way around. Using LE v8, does anyone know of a way, after importing a song to track too, I can 1) slow the tempo down (it is way too fast for me on dobro) 2) change the key of the song?

Granted I have not thorouhgly researched this, but thought someone here might know the easy way of accomplishing this.

Thanks in advance.

you would probably need a plug in to do that.
I use Serrato pitch 'n time, which would solve both your problems.

It's expensive, but there are other cheaper plugins that do the same, but I'm only familiar with this one.

Stephen, there is a function called "elastic audio" in ProTools v8 that does an awesome job of changing down tempos. As for changing the key, I am not too sure, but elastic audio may offer some function for that.

i'm still using 7.3 but i think the elastic audio feature in 8 includes changing pitch and tempo. i can't tell you how to do it but i'd go to the digidesign website and see if they have any tutorial videos.

Select the region, and under "AudioSuite" choose "Time Shift". Here's a PDF with instructions on using it:

Thanks all, Chris, yes I have found that in AudioSuite and it works great for both time and pitch. And it's free!!!!
