Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • The software for this is completely free. (https://www.audacityteam.org/)
  • Audacity for working with audio.
  • I'd suggest OP try splitting into sentences rather than slowing down. I used to use audacity (audio only) but I don't know if there's a more modern tool.
  • I took the original and the 50x resample version into Audacity, inverted one and summed the tracks. The only differences were not only 70dB down from the music, but above 20kHz.
  • Canva, GIMP, OBS, Audacity, FL Studio.

Cons

  • it's probably better suited for it than Audacity (since that's more of a digital tape recorder - also multitrack but more serial than parallel).
  • You may load the .wav to a DAW eg reaper or Audacity or such, try different reverbs and compressors.
  • I recorded with Audacity and added effects and things after recording. ... That method of headphone jack to input jack into Audacity is not working out as well.
  • I have Audacity installed on the laptop where I am recording myself and I think I spotted a YouTube video that gives some tips as to how to use Audacity to reduce the hum. Going to try that first before I open up my wallet again.
  • Audacity can do that

And one thing that did work for me, though a few years ago - I'd take the track into Audacity and change the pitch, just like .01% up or down. You can't hear it and the timing stays the same, but at the time, whatever algorithm was used to ID the music wouldn't recognize it if it wasn't the exact track.
