Robert Johnson – "Hell Hound on my Trail" – Adjusted Speed

These are my own estimates of what I think the actual speed of recordings should be. To me, slower speeds feel much more natural. Some say they are 20% too fast, but that seems unlikely. It's more likely that they are 10-5% too fast. The key
everything is the vibrato of the voice. I did all of this just by using my ears and trying to match each song to each other, the constant being the timbral characteristics of his voice and what a natural human vibrato would sound like. Usually when I did this the speed would fall into a natural blues key like A or E, sometimes
with a capo on the first fret. Again, these are just my personal opinions and don't get offended and send me a bunch of musicologist stuff. It's just for fun. These were done in Cubase by resampling so that the pitch and tempo were changed together naturally, just like you would slow down an analog tape. Personally, the more I listen to these slowed down versions, the more obviously unnatural the CDs sound.
But listen and decide for yourself.
