Can I slow down a song without making it sound lower?

Yes. Time-stretching in Veena keeps the recording's pitch, so a song slowed from 120 to 100 BPM keeps its key. To change the key on purpose, use Pitch Shift in the Waveform panel, a separate control measured in semitones. Both work on your own recordings, free, in your browser.

How do I match a loop or recording to my song's tempo?

In Veena, select the audio clip, open Waveform and press Match to BPM. Check Original BPM in the dialog, correct it if the reading is wrong, and match it to the project. The clip stretches to the project tempo and keeps its pitch, ready to play with CoProducer's parts.

How do I find the tempo of a song first?

Drag the clip into the CoProducer panel in Veena and ask "what key and tempo is this recording in?". The first audio clip you import can also set the project tempo from its reading. Then set the new tempo in the transport and Match to BPM, or ask CoProducer to stretch it.

Change the Tempo of a Song Without Changing the Pitch

How do I change the tempo of a song without changing the pitch? Time-stretch it. In Veena, an AI DAW with a personal music producer, CoProducer, built in, you drag the right edge of an audio clip to stretch it, or use Match to BPM to fit it to the project tempo, and the pitch stays exactly where it was. Slow a song down to practise it, speed a demo up to a new groove, or fit your recording to a beat. It is free and runs in your browser.

Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the song you want and CoProducer builds it with you — beats, chords, melody, arrangement and mix — as real tracks you can edit, mix and export. Free, in your browser.

Change tempo without changing pitch in Veena, step by step

Open Veena and import your recording. Go to daw.veena.studio, sign in with Google and open a project. Press Upload or drag the file onto the timeline: your demo, rehearsal take, voice memo or a song you have the rights to rework.
Find its tempo. Drag the clip into the CoProducer panel and ask "what key and tempo is this recording in?". The first imported clip can set the project tempo from its reading.
Set the new tempo. Drag or tap the tempo control in the transport bar to the BPM you want.
Match the clip. Select the clip, open Waveform and press Match to BPM. Check Original BPM in the dialog, correct it if needed, and match it to the project. The clip stretches to the new tempo and keeps its pitch.
Or stretch by hand. Drag the clip's right edge to make it longer, so it plays slower, or shorter, so it plays faster. The pitch holds either way.
Or ask CoProducer. Type "set the project to 90 BPM and stretch my recording to match without changing its pitch".
Export. Choose Export from your avatar menu for a WAV or MP3 at the new tempo.

Veena's Waveform panel with Pitch Shift, Find Key and Match to BPM

Tempo and pitch are separate controls

You want	Use in Veena	What happens
Slower or faster, same key	Match to BPM, or drag the clip's right edge	Time-stretch: tempo changes, pitch holds
Higher or lower, same tempo	Pitch Shift in Waveform	Semitone change, tempo holds
Both	Stretch first, then Pitch Shift	Each change stays independent
A part in another key, every instrument together	Ask CoProducer to transpose the MIDI parts	Harmony and melody move together

To slow down a full mix and change only the drums, separate it first: right-click the clip and choose Separate into Stems for vocals, drums, bass and other, then stretch or replace the part you want.
