I have done these kinds of things with techniques like this but they are 
a poor work a round for me as I can't play parts slower, and it is a bit 
painfull.

It would be sweet if I only could slow down the whole project so there 
wouldn't be any excess hassle of editing and converting files in 
different programs. My friends ancient sondcard ten years ago had a 
simple slider for doing these kinds of thing on the fly.

What would be super sweet would be way of recording in reverse speed.
