Slow Down M4A

1) Sign up for Descript for free. You have 1 free hour of transcription per month. No credit card is required.

2) Upload your video to Descript by dragging and dropping it into the project window.

3) Once upload has finished, head to the "Layer" option on the right-hand panel and adjust the speed of your clips under "Duration". You can drag left and right in the "Speed" and "Duration" boxes or — for more precise control — simply type in any multiplier.

4) Share the optimized clip by clicking on Publish and selecting the "Export" button to post it or download the M4A file to your desired location.

• Enhanced Comprehension: Slowing down audio helps in better understanding complex speech or accents.
• Music Practice: Musicians can practice difficult sections of a song at a slower pace to master intricate parts.
• Transcription Accuracy: Slower playback speeds make it easier to transcribe spoken words accurately.
• Language Learning: Learners can catch nuances in pronunciation and intonation by listening at a reduced speed.
• Detailed Analysis: Analysts can dissect audio content more thoroughly, catching details that might be missed at normal speed.

• Use Keyboard Shortcuts: Familiarize yourself with Descript's keyboard shortcuts to quickly adjust playback speed without interrupting your workflow.
• Set Custom Speed: Instead of relying on preset speeds, manually input a custom speed multiplier for precise control over playback.
