It's been a while since I worked with Amazing Slow Downer, but at the time I
did the comparison I chose Transcribe! instead. I've been very happy with
Transcribe!. What I like about it is that it shows you the waveform, and
you can easily mark beats and sections, have it analyze pitch and tempo,
etc.
(Hmmm, my writing style seems to reflect the time I'm spending with my
second grader on composition... sorry.)
Here is how I typically use it:
1. Open the file (.wav, .mp3, .wma, etc.)
2. Play it at regular speed, tapping the keyboard to mark each beat.
3. Break it down into A part, B part etc. and insert section marks (you can
add labels to the marks if needed)
4. Select a few measures to work on.
4. Set a comfortable speed.
Etc.
By seeing the waveform there is never any problem with getting confused when
making selections, such as whether the first note was also the last note of
the previous section. Occasionally I mark a single note and have it tell me
the pitch, which is great for those days when I just can't figure out what
key I'm in...
