I want to use Musicbee as the player to record audio into this:
https://sonicware.jp/pages/liven-lofi12Since I listen mostly on shuffle, something might play that I think might make for a good loop or drum pattern to use in something of my own. (see Plunderphonics, 90's Hip Hop, The Avalanches, DJ Shadow)
I'd want to then just skip to the point I liked, hit record on the box, unpause musicbee and capture etc.
Since the box has very limited sampling time, I sometimes need to speed up the track to fit it into the memory. This trick has been around since the 80's.
Musicbee does have the ability to change the pitch/speed etc in the EQ/DSP > Tempo Control > Sample Rate setting but its multiple clicks deep and needs to be toggled on or off.
What I am asking for is for this slider to be available all the time in the main view in the same way the volume control is now.
I'd argue that playing a record at the wrong speed could be an enjoyable thing to do. I certainly was amused no end as a kid playing mums Fleetwood Mac records backwards or on the wrong speed. Vaporwave as a genre is built on the idea of slowing a cheesy pop record down and putting a bunch of delay on it. (see Chuck Person - Eccojams). 90's rave sped up samples a lot to get to the desired tempo, and that became a motif of the genre. (see Acen - Close Your Eyes)
