BestPractice

BestPractice might not reveal its secrets right from the start, but what's certain is that the tool can serve musicians or users who made a hobby out of music or sound manipulation.

being a compact tool, BestPractice allows one to load songs from two environments — CDs or locally stored files. Loading up a CD will populate the track panel, while local files will be listed in the lower part of the UI. No matter which method you choose, the tool is capable of working with either.

Once a song is loaded, you can start bringing changes to its playing pitch and speed. If you are interested in slowing down a song in order to better analyze its structure or have a cleaner lyric understanding, adjust the playing speed bar as you see fit.

If you wish to impose certain loop intervals, just let the song play and click on the Now! button when the part you need to loop is plying. In case you use CDs as a source for the songs, you can take advantage of the CDDB feature — a CD database that offers all information about a certain compact disk.

From where the pitch and playing speed sliders reside, there is another menu intended for Karaoke. That menu provides one with the Karaoke mode, an optimal voice suppression slider, and a couple of functions dealing with adjusting the frequency ranges for bass or treble.

BestPractice is a neat tool that can help one play around and experiment with changing the original structures and sound of songs. You can use your material, enhancing it, or bring it to a satisfactory state. Of course, the Karaoke feature can bring on your face as well as your friends.
