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.

    It reset my monitors and I thought my system was rebooting! Then things came back up, with windows on different monitors than before, lol. Its stuck on a splash screen that says “MIXXX”. I’m running nixos, xmonad, pipewire. Output at the terminal:

    [nix-shell:~]$ mixxx

      Hmm, it looks like the first few messages there are doing initial setup. After that, it looks like it’s having trouble loading some of its libraries. Then it isn’t able to read your sound devices. I haven’t run Mixxx with nixos or pipewire, but maybe try the flatpak? Sorry it isn’t running out of the box for you.
