AudioLobe allows you to independently alter the playback speed and pitch rate of audio files. If you are a musician or interested in audio this means you can slow down complex sequences of audio without the vocal or instruments sounding unintelligible. Great for learning difficult notes in a musical sequence. For example, you could set a section of the audio to loop at whatever playback speed you want and easily follow what is happening, without having pitch changes. AudioLobe 3 allows files to be saved with altered play speeds and major update update to the interface.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I bought this program only to find that the new interface and the ability to save changes, is only for MacOS 10.5 (Leopard) no changes for Tiger user (like me), and the worst part is tha there's not mention of this in the information text. It's a fraud.
Still 20 seconds of tryout???

You barely have time to adjust a single control to make any kind of intelligent evaluation. Avoid this like the plague. It doesn't deserve attention. There are much better things out there.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Offers no support for exporting, so there is no way to save the changes you have made to make the files usable elsewhere. Also, customer support stinks, I emailed requesting a refund when not satisfied with the program only to informed, "thats a great idea, the ability to export, we plan that for future releases" which as we know does not help me right now. DO NOT BUY, THERE ARE TONS OF FREEWARE THAT DO ALL THIS AND MORE!!!
gorgeous interface but...

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I agree with a previous review that 20 seconds is too short to allow evaluation. However, in those 20 seconds, I heard weird echo-ey artifacts during "slow-down" that I do not hear when using "the amazing slow-downer". Compared to that program, AudioLobe is much prettier, and costs less. On the other hand, if I'm trying to figure out what notes are part of a complex riff, at around half-speed, the echo added to short notes makes the result almost useless for me. The 1.3 update doesn't fix this issue.
I look forward to hearing how future versions work out -- this program is promising, but doesn't yet earn my registration dollars.
I can't tell if this software is good or not...

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />...because 20 seconds is an atrocious limit. I'm glad that there is more software entering the 'amazing slow downer' league, but the restrictions in the demo version are just too strict for me to be able to see any advantages of this program over the others. If anything, it just feels more restricting. You simply can't tell the quality of a product by 20 seconds of usage...
I put a 2* for price, because there's no star rating for demo restrictions.
