How to slow down an mp3 and not alter pitch

I'm wondering if anyone knows a simple way to do (what I consider to be) a kareoke trick using Logic Pro 8. I just want to import a compressed file m4a or mp3 from itunes and slow it down without altering the pitch so I can practice along with it.
After trying the "adjust region length to match locator positions" my computer first: couldn't stretch a compressed file, and second: crashed after beginning to "process and convert".
All this seems so very complicated for such a simple task, I'm not overly concerned with quality, it can be a little bit distorted.
I'm sure there's a simpler way to do this! I just don't know it yet.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks You!

You can't destructively edit compressed formats in Logic so convert your mp3 to aiff/wav beforehand.
Then either do your adjustments in the sample editor->factory->time&pitch mashine or by using the "adjust region length to match locator positions".
You can also timestretch graphically in the Arrange by pressing option and dragging the lower right of your region to the right.

How do I save an MP3 and not play it?

hello
I pay for a suscription Podcast service. When I use my PB to visit the site I login and navigate to the podcast section. If I click on a podcast it only want to play the mp3. even if I press and hold on the link I get no option to SAVE the mp3, only wants to play it. and even I chose to play/stream the mp3 I still have no option to save the file.
the kicker is that I am able to do this on my TORCH. save an MP3 without playing it.
is there a setting or command I am missing.? because I would prefer to save the mp3's and then play at my leisure rather than being forced to only stream the file.
thank you

i have some more info I can add to my problem
if I login to the podcast website from a windows7 pc using firefox, and I try to download the MP3 I can make two choices. I can click on the link to listen to the podcast in the broswer. Or I can right click and select "save link as" to save the MP3 locally.
the link is. http://www.jimrome.com/member/stream-link?stream=2011-04-22&site=jimrome&type=download_show&clips=1
If i chose to "save link as" it will direct me to the .MP3 file to download. And if I do this on my BB Torch it will do a similar thing. It will ask me if I want to play or save the .mp3 file.
but if I navigate to that linkk with my playbook, and I hold over the link and select "Save link as". It doesn't save the .mp3 file. it only saves the link ...."http://www.jimrome.com/member/stream-link?stream=2011-04-22&site=jimrome&type=download_show&clips=1"
so on my playbook, my only option is to stream the file, because even if I stream the mp3 it will play in a new tab. but I will still have no option to save it.
hope that helps.. please let me know if there is a work around.
thanks

HT1339 my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

Your question(s) is/are a little hard to understand. So your husband has an iPod as well as a netbook and he wants to be able to sync iPod with this netbook is that correct? If so, he'll need to first download and install iTunes assuming the netbook is running some version of Windows such as 7, Vista, or XP.

As for importing or ripping music, he'll have to either use an external CD/DVD drive that is attached via USB or rip the songs to another PC you have with a built in CD/DVD drive. Once you have imported them to the other computer, you can transfer the songs to an external hard drive or to his iTunes library via Home Sharing.
If this isn't quite what you were looking for, please clarify.

How to slow down too many deliveries of daily return_job?

Does anyone know how to slow down too many deliveries of dail return_job at 00:30?
I'm using following version.
$ /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-5.02 (built Oct 12 2007; 32bit)
libimta.so 6.3-5.02 (built 17:15:31, Oct 12 2007; 32bit)
SunOS hostname 5.9 Generic_122300-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480RAbout 7,000 delivery notification messages was created by return_job in 1 minute
and then the smarthost could not process these messages and froze.

Thanks, Shane.
So, I want to control the transmission rate to smarthost, especially mails created by return_job.You can throttle back the rate at which Messaging Server attempts to send emails to the smarthost by decreasing the maxjobs setting from 7 to say 2 and increasing the threaddepth to say 32. This will reduce the number of simultaneous active connections and also the rate at which new delivery jobs are created.

Also since you are using the daemon keyword you may want to try the multiple option (instead of single_sys).
http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Multiple%2C_addrsperfile%2C_single%2C_single_sys_Channel_Options
So these combined give you the following channel definition:
! tcp_local

Can you slow down a voicemail you are listening to? I can't understand what someone said to me because they spoke too fast. I just want to know how to slow down the voicemail so I can understand her if it's possible.

How can you slow down a voicemail you are listening to? Someone sent me a voicemail and they spoke way too fast for me to understand them. I want to know how to slow down the voicemail so I can understand them if that is possible.

   I have to say, this is so weird because it's actually become this way in the past week maybe, and I'm sure me saying this here will be disputed, ridiculed and belittled, and that's absolutely fair, but I've got to say it... up until a few days ago, my iTunes sync/backup area really would keep more than one backup for my one, single iPhone. They were all timed and dated with a drop-down menu (which appeared if I clicked the restore button) to choose which one I wanted to roll back to, for example. Sure, I'd read about the three backups thing etc. etc. and perhaps I got that wrong or misunderstood, but I can honestly say, I only ever had at the most two backups, that I could drop-down and choose to restore from. They were there. Same iPhone. Different dates.
   At the time, when this seemed to be the case, the backing-up process took quite a while. I would leave it to progress while I went and made a cup of tea, come back and it still wasn't finished running. So, not really AGES, but a little while.
   Now, when I perform a backup, the progress bar almost shoots across to a finish. I'll 'fess up... that worries me most of all. I can live without the luxury of a menu of backups... but if it does it once, I'd like to be sure it does it at all.
Much more importantly though, thank you for your replies so far.
Any further input, even if it's to belittle or shame is totally welcome. I'd like to understand this a bit more.
Thanks again.

Can anyone tell me how to slow down a commerical track in Garage Band 10.00. I was able to do it quite easily before I updated, but now find I am unable to do it. Would be grateful for any help

Can anyone tell me how to slow down a commercial track in Garage band 10.00 I was able to do this in the earlier version of Garage Band quite easily and it is a good tool for being able to teach new dances, but I find I am unable to do it in the new version, which has just been updated. I would be grateful for any help.

Just found it.
Select your track with song imported from iTunes, open the Track Editor window, and in the head of the track editor and press the "Flex" marker. Make sure "Enable Flex" is set,
Then change the tempo of your project.

I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!

go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck
