You can use Reaper to slow down tracks, so you can pick out fast passages more easily. Plus, you can EQ to hear even better. Here’s a video . . .

It’s simple . . .

  1. Import an MP3 of the track
  2. Cut out everything but the part you want to learn
  3. Hold down the ALT key (‘Option’ on a Mac), and hover over the end of the of the track. Click and drag to the right to slow down the track without changing the pitch
  4. EQ the track: high pass, low pass and boost mids

While this isn’t magic, it will make learning those fast passages much easier.
