    Had some files that got sped up - apparently an issue with Layla 24 though
    this is the first time it has happened to me. Was able to slow down the
    tracks in Reaper and they sound as they were when they were first recorded.
    I will definitely be buying a license!

    Cool! Glad you were able to get the project back to pitch. What steps did
    you go through? Did you just import, change pitch and export?

    BTW, If you buy a license now, you'll also get R4 (up to v4.99) for free
    when it becomes available after the first of the year.

    That was it. Simple and sounds fine. This was spoken word. Not sure if it
    would have worked with music or not but for this project it was great!!
    Thanks Gbo!

    Cool! You can definately use the variable speed for musical stuff.

    This was a test I did to see if I could record some music, then slow
    playback to half and record a guitar solo at half speed. Then, after
    recording, set the playback back to normal speed (which made the solo
    guitar have that chipmunks sound), and put the solo guitar through
    a pitch shifter to get it back in the proper octave. The only knock
    off that it was recorded this way is a couple places where I forgot
    to play my vibrato half as fast as I normally would have. Here's
    the short test I did.

    Hehe yeah, but since they are midi, I didn't have to use the pitch
    transposer to get them back down to the proper pitch. <g>

    That guitar sounds a bit like an electric violon "à la" Jean-Luc Ponty.

    Just for fun, I rendered a small section from that test, first
    playing it at halfspeed, so the guitar solo is as played (crappy),
    then I sped it up to normal speed, but with no transposer on the
    guitar, and finally with the transposer, so you guys could hear
    all three variations of how this was done. ;)

    Interesting, though the guitar seems to have lost a little bit of punch and
    high end comparing the first segment with the last.

    Well, it has been through the wringer, so to speak. ;)

    I wouldn't ever really use this technique to try to make hot solo out
    of me playing some "half fast" crap. I can always get Joey Who??? or
    Polymod to play an actual hot solo, if that's what's needed.

    That said, the variable speed stuff in Reaper is real useful for doing
    stuff like lowering the playback speed to sing a part that's just barely
    out of your vocal range, or recording backing vocals at slightly
    different speeds to make one person's voice have multiple timbres.
