Anytune lets a drummer slow a groove as far as 0.05x on iPhone, iPad and Mac without changing the pitch, mark the sections, and let the Loop Trainer start slow and speed a loop up toward full tempo. Know before choosing that the versions differ: only the Android app slows Spotify and Apple Music streams and splits out your instrument with Demix, while the Apple apps isolate parts by cropping the stereo sound stage with ReFrame.
