I'm trying to learn to play some folk tunes on mandolin. I'm looking for some software that will let me loop sections and change tempo (without changing pitch). To help learn by ear, i want repetition and then slowly build up speed.

I thought Audacity would do it but it looks like it is lacking the real-time component (or at least seems to be in its infancy) unless there's something i'm missing?

Reaper is not free, the trial is just very lenient on how long you use it. If you do keep using Reaper after the evaluation period, you should buy it - 60$ is a laughably small amount for such a powerful DAW.

Anyways, Reaper is super lightweight so it could be a good bet for OP. Although the number of stock VST plugins is fairly small.
