Song Surgeon is an easy to use software tool for musicians. Slowing down music is the most common use for SS, but SS changes pitch and tempo independently of each other. SS also enables the user to create practice loops, allows the adjustment of EQ settings, rips directly from CD's and converts between different file formats, including MP3, MP4, AAC, WMA, WAV, and AIFF. Song Surgeon is a practical tool regardless of the instrument or music genre.
