I’m looking for an audio app for learning tunes by ear. Ideally would have:

1- slow playback, without adjusting pitch.
2- loop selection - to play a segment of the audio over and over
3- pitch adjustment (some old recordings are out of tune)

Anyone have one they like? For android the closest I’ve found is Fossify music player, which offers feature 1.

For PC, audacity has all these features, but its pretty clunky to use.

    Got it working. The problem was really dumb: I use xmonad. When I run mixx, it opens a modal dialog where you have to select a file, or cancel. I didn’t notice the dialog, maybe too many windows or it ended up behind the main window. Dialog never returns, program never gets off the splash screen. 😅 Still get the warnings and errors, but apparently that’s normal.

    Anyway, working now, definitely a lot of bells and whistles in this. Inspiring if I ever want to take up DJing.

      Glad to hear it! Mixxx has been one of my favorite projects to use, and they always surprise me with new features whenever I open it up!
