What SlowMo 2 Is For
SlowMo 2 allows you to create half-speed textures, thicken basses, stretch vocals, or transform loops into hypnotic patterns. It excels for drops, transitions, breakdowns, and choruses while maintaining groove and transient clarity thanks to its mixing and synchronization tools.
Main Features
Basic Mode and Multiband Mode
Choose Basic Mode for an instant clean half-time effect, or switch to Multiband Mode to precisely target the desired frequency range: for example, slow down the lows without affecting the highs to preserve the attack of hi-hats.
Band Controls
Each band offers speed modes "Normal," "Pitched," or "Maintain," an octave setting, dedicated dry/wet, and a Reverse button. The "Start/End" cutoff frequencies define the Low/Mid/High split, with Solo/Mute for precise editing.
Global Processing and Transitions
Smooth reduces artifacts, Blend mixes the original over a portion of the loop length (ideal for preserving transients or creating rhythmic "flutter"), while Fade In/Out (fast/slow) ensures seamless crossfades. A global dry/wet finalizes the mix.
Synchronization and Creative Speeds
Choose rhythmic divisions from 1/16 to 4 bars (including dotted and triplets). The speed knob ranges from "1" (original speed) to "4.0" (quarter speed) in 0.5 steps, with "2.0" corresponding to half-speed. Reverse mode activates after the buffer is fully filled for stable playback.
Presets and Interface
Resizable interface and preset manager for quick saving/loading of your settings. Inspirational starting points are included: "Basic Halftime," "Basic Reverse," "Blurry Vision," "Back In Time," "Higher Dimension," "Mid Band Isolation," "Rhythmic Halftime," "Split Bands," "Super Slow Motion," etc.

Questions frequently asked
Is SlowMo 2 compatible with Apple Silicon, and which plug-in formats are supported?
Apple Silicon compatibility is announced, supporting VST3, AU, and AAX formats. The setup requires an Intel Core i3 or equivalent processor, 4 GB of RAM, with a Core i5 recommended.
Can only the bass frequencies be slowed down without affecting the hi-hats?
The multiband mode allows defining Low, Mid, and High ranges via Start/End frequencies. Each band has its own dry/wet control, speed modes, and a Reverse function, enabling the attack of the highs to be preserved.
Which rhythmic divisions are available for the half-time effect?
The divisions offered range from 1/16 to 4 bars, including dotted and triplet values. The speed adjustment ranges from 1 to 4.0 in steps of 0.5, with 2.0 corresponding to half-speed.
How are transients preserved with this slowing effect?
The Blend control mixes the original signal over a section of the loop to preserve transients. Smooth reduces artifacts, while Fade In and Fade Out provide fast or slow transitions.
Which presets are included with Initial Audio SlowMo?
The factory bank includes presets such as "Basic Halftime", "Basic Reverse", "Blurry Vision", "Back In Time", and "Super Slow Motion". A preset manager allows saving and loading settings.
