It made them funkier. Everyone laughed at me, of course...

Later, I used my computer to reproduce the ratio of 45/33, and slowed down several recordings. "Mountains" in particular just got all fonkay at 33.

Has anyone else noticed this or tried this, or am I the only weirdo?

Hey, I used to play mine in reverse. And, "Paisley Park" backwards is "Love is Here"

I played Scarlet Pussy in fast mode...iz a whole different feel...P's voice is normal on it...

Wow! Somebody just like me. I used to do that in particular with Love or Money.

Ok...whoever is reading this...if you have the means and you love Prince...TRY IT.

YES, do it with Sexy MF.

No you're not the only wierdo!

I used to do that too with me record player. That's the way I figured out the snare drum on Kiss is really the same snare drum on If I Was Your Girlfriend only sped up! And the clap on 777-9311 is the same clap of Pop Life only sped up!

SOmetimes I used to speed things upto 78! My old Zenith allowed that...

Of course then I'd reverse a few songs, like Sheila E's Bedtime stories!

Yeah! I used to slow down Camille songs and I tripped!

nope you're not the only one, I did that with "temptation", man, that was scary

Can you reverse on a regular turntable...If not how can you reverse a song?

Wow, I must try this.

i highly reccommend

teller said:

I used to do it with a turntable but now there is software to at least slow a music file down...

I used to do this a lot, there's a great plugin for winamp, and Romance 1600, the whole album, is just on fire slowed down a notch or two.

Great when stoned.

This says, "An easy way to slow down the music without changing the pitch!" ...not quite the right effect--the pitch should go ahead and go down.

Winamp plugin:

Works fantastic!!

Remember winamp v.3 can't use plugins, so you need v.2.

I thought you were a drummer?
You should know that they are sounds from the Linn Drum
(See the multipul posts on "The Linn Sound")

Yeah, but back when I was a kid I figured it out when I didn't know he was using the pitch nob! I was suprised and like I said, I didn't even know about the Linn LM-1 and thought then that he tweaked the drums. Later I found an LM-2 and but it wasn't really the same.

Now as a proud ownner of one, I know very well...aahhhaaa.

Oh and which multipul post is that? Do I do a search on "The Linn Sound"? I know I posted a bunch of info!

teller said:

I think you CAN mess with the pitch! Takes a look at the screenshots:





Notice that there is a pitch lever in the middle, which I 'm sure you can tweak so when you either speed the tempo or slow it down you can tweak the pitch to match!

Audion for Mac OS also has a built in plug-in that does what a record player does, pitch and all!
