Default software for transcribing?

Is there software available that slows down audio files whilst keeping them in the original key, that I could use for transcribing?

I believe the two most popular are Transcribe! and The Amazing Slow Downer. I have used both and favor Transcribe! because it shows a graphical representation of the music which makes it easier for me to know which part to loop. However, Amazing Slow Downer can reduce the speed slower than Transcribe! which comes in handy when working on sax lines and such.

Both are really bone simple to use. Dig the links below.

!Slow down and transcribe with Roni Music software - slow down the speed of music without changing the pitch

+1 for Transcribe! - the interface is optimised for transcribing so much easier to use for this task than a standard audio editor

Default Transcribe!

I also use transcribe because it is so versatile in terms of isolating difficult passages and I don't need to use an instrument to use it. In years gone by, none of this software was available and transcribing was difficult but still doable with some effort.

+ 1 for Transcribe!

My trial runs out in a few days and will definitely be purchasing a license.

The sound quality of slow time and ease of use make it well worth it.

You are 2 clicks away from recording whatever is running through your soundcard at the time. I wont be going back to using normal recording software.

"Transcribe!" is a fantastic tool, well it is written by a jazz guitarist what do you expect?! I've used it for years now from early versions on the PC to version 8.00.3 on my Mac and it just gets better. I did a little transcribing guide a while ago which you can get to from this link:

I use transcribe although I'm starting to think it's not doing me any favours.

Audacity is free and I found it as good if not better than Transcribe. I have to warn though: I personally do not feel that this software does any good for your ears and may even be harmful in the long run. I have stopped using it basically, and I now try to get as much as I can at "normal" tempo. I still use things like the loop function though.

I really just copy some solos on the guitar and memorize, and then occasionally write them out. This was recommended by a few people like Pat Martino in his videos, etc...
