[Alsa-user] tracks "slow-w-w-w-w-wed down"

[Brian H. <byr...@in...>]

I am basically familiar with Audacity more than any other app. I want to 
be able
to slow down playback of an audio track without altering the pitch. So 
far, I
have used the "sox" utility with its "stretch effect" as an option. This 
yields
"kinda-sorta  the intended result", however the playback of the output 
file contains
a rather irritating ring-modulation-like effect. I take it that such is 
an inherent result of
the function's process although I am not enough of a physics expert to 
know for certain.

    Is there a means to achieve this slowdown without the distortion? I have
in mind a means to make it easier to transcribe recordings of players 
who are
doing "really-fast" playing, e.g. rock-guitar solos and so forth.
