Re: [Harp-L] Practice tools

I quickly downloaded and tested Riffster and found it to be very cool, easy to use  and useful.  There is a FREE version as well (RiffsterLite) which has same basic features as Riffster.  Some diffs being you can only slow tempo down to 80% and there is only one loop so you can only loop one part of a song at a time.  No phase button either which attempts to eliminate vocals or bring out rythms.  But pretty useful for FREE.  

I also use a plug-in for Audacity, (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) whcih is a FREE audio editing software platform for Windows and Linux, that has the ability to change tempo without changing pitch.  Works well but not as user friendly as Riffster.
