A chub from the Grant Corporation
As for your things, I have to say I'm skeptical of the first one being exactly 800% sped up, it'd have to be a quite short album, wouldn't it? The full length album is 34 minutes long, so yes, quite short.

People, it's not an 800% slowdown. An 800% slowdown would mean playback at seven times normal speed in reverse. Admittedly, that does sound like something which might be interesting.
The correct terminology would be either playback at 12.5% normal speed, an 87.5% slowdown, or an 8x stretch (the latter being the program's terminology).
Accidental mistakes are forgivable, intentional ones are not.
Laugh it off, everybody
Audacity uses the term "X%", presumably, someone slowed it down 100% 8 times. In the end, it doesn't really matter, because that's trivial.
^^I see. Interesting.

You can't slow down 100% (this would be a complete stop). If you want to stretch something out to eight times its original length in Audacity (which sounds crap compared to the specialised program), you have to enter -87.5 for the value in in the Percent Change field of the Change Tempo dialogue box.

Listening to the masterpiece of slowed-down-ness from the OP...I refuse to listen to the original Bieber song, I don't care what it sounds like, because this on its own is just too damn cool. So mellow and uplifting...
Flora Segunda | World Made By Hand | Monster Blood Tattoo ^You should read these series.
I'm glasses.
It's fantastic. Wow. And if you listen realllly closely, you can still hear the lyrics.
Meanwhile, "Tik Tok" slowed down this much makes me die laughing.

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.
I just found the Justin Bieber song slowed down with Stumble Upon. I like it, and want to try slowing down music I have with Audacity.
Laugh it off, everybody
Protip: The "Change Speed" function is your friend only up until the -100% mark. After that, use Change Tempo and Change Pitch at the same percentages.

Hm...Thanks for the tip. How can I tell when exactly I'm to the -100% mark, though?

There's a slider, it shows percentages.

That might explain why when I tried to slow down his other songs, instead of getting the beautiful sound from the first one, it comes off as deep and grainy

PaulStretch was used, not Audacity.

You can do the same thing, though.

Not really. On Audacity, it'll sound like either a slow-downed vinyl or "robots fucking".

Frank Zappa slowed time 800 times anybody?
