Transcribe Review

[kubsun]

hey does this thing can be useful for drummers that would like to use playalong methods? or there's any different software for play alongs? help me!!

[Wallimann]

@kubsun I don't think you would get the results you want with that. Unfortunately I can't think of any other software that would either...

[Chord5]

Hi, nice review. Would Transcribe! work with youtube videos?

[Wallimann]

@Chord5 If you extract the audio from the video, yes..

[Chord5]

@Wallimann Yes, that was the route I decided to take. Too many issues with slowing down the video and the audio is what I'm after regardless. Thanks for the reply. :)

[nik28vuksan]

is this transcribe 7.5?

[nik28vuksan]

@nik28vuksan I mean transcribe 8.0?

[TerraSofta]

try mTax at Terrasofta

[tigger77able]

Merci!

C'etait une question de perception. Quand je changes le pitch pour une chanson, la voix change beaucoup et j'avais l'impression que la vitesse changait aussi.

Mais j'ai tout juste confirme que tout marche chouette.

Ciao!

[tigger77able]

Salut, Tu parles francais?

I just bought Transcribe. But when I change the pitch the speed chnages too.

Please advise how I can change the picth independently of the speed.

Merci Beaucoup!

[Wallimann]

@tigger77able Salut! Oui, je suis Français. :-)

C'est bizarre, tu utilises le petit icone en dessous à gauche de la fenetre principale pour changer le tempo?

Pour moi ca marche nickel...

[Wallimann]

@RayDheartpower Hmmm.. Not sure, I haven't used that feature much.

But there are a few mixing settings you can play with I think within the software...

[rockled54321queen]

haha typical guitar player wanting to always play in a or e instead of anything with a flat

[stemajor7]

Another cool feature with the tuning tab is when playing along with tracks that have been mastered just out of concert pitch, you can tune the track to your guitar with the fine tune slider - ive found this to be very helpful. Also, if you hold alt whilst selecting a part on the waveform, you can snap to your markers.

[olekike]

good tutorial. can you tell/show the next stap after isolating and changing pitch etc.? how do you go then to having actually notes on paper? you use other software? please explain/tell me. thanks

[Wallimann]

@olekike You would need another software. This doesn't o the transcription directly, just helps you speed down the track you are working with. :-)

[olekike]

@Wallimann hi, thanks for replying. can you advise on the software? sibelius is too expensive for me. intelliscore does something. i don't have experience with that. what do you think?

[Wallimann]

@olekike If you are looking for a soft that would write your tab directly from an audio file, you won't find any...

For creating tabs, I use Guitar Pro 6. :-)

[heman394]

can you remove drums and bass on transcribe

[Wallimann]

@heman394 Not completely, but it does a good job at helping you isolate the guitar for hearing purposes.

[heman394]

@heman394 thanks

[ercspy]

my freind do u know any good software that u can remove like the bass, rithguitar and listened the lead guitar plz if can help me thanks

[Wallimann]

@ercspy I don't know of any that will do it completely...

Transcribe can help isolate instruments a bit, but not 100%... :-/

[johnnynoirman]

Is there software that can pickout the chords accurately from a mp3?

[Wallimann]

@johnnynoirman Unfortunately, not that I know of... I haven't found any that really work yet...

[handtricks]

i bought this program and really like it ,one thing that would be nice is to have it where you can split sections without having to drag to highlight the selection . in sound forge that is a great feature ,its faster to just double click in the sections between the markers rather than drag from one point to another ,im not sure if it can be done with transcribe but if it did it would be super !

[Wallimann]

@handtricks I love the soft too.

I'm pretty sure you can set your markers throughout the song and just double click on the desired sections..

[kenotis]

Thanks for your help with the product. Your video is informative. The program has a free trial. How can you lose? It's a sure thing.

[Wallimann]

@kenotis Thanks a lot! Glad you liked the review.

[handtricks]

@kenotis yes and it a full working one too,

[cjkeegan100]

is there a option to completely remove the bass, singing and drums so that im left with just guitar?Im using the software now its brilliant much better then using tabs. its mint how you can slow down it down. im transcribing a billy talent tune and loving it :)

[Wallimann]

@cjkeegan100 You can play a bit with the mix to try to remove some of the instruments yeah. :-)

[cjkeegan100]

ive gotta try this out im sick of tabs :)

[Wallimann]

@cjkeegan100 Yeah, it will help your ears a lot!

[DarkChiiTheme]

How about the keyboard down there ? :O I dont understand 'em :(

[Wallimann]

@DarkChiiTheme That keyboard helps you determine the notes played. But that feature works best with monophonic themes. I haven't used it much...

[TheStratocasterBlues]

It's great!

[Wallimann]

@TheStratocasterBlues Yeah, I love it!

[Pedjazz]

David great review. What software are you using to capture your on screen actions along with voice over?

Thanks

Pedja

[Wallimann]

@Pedjazz Thanks Pedja, I'm using Quicktime 10 on a Mac.

Are you still at GMC?

[Pedjazz]

@Wallimann Thank you David. Is there something equivalent I could use for PC? I heard of camstasia, have you used it?

I am still at GMC yes :)

[Wallimann]

@Pedjazz Yeah, Camtasia is good! :-)

[Bassmint44]

Hi David, Hey thanks for the very helpful tutorial! I just downloaded the free trial yesterday and all of you guys have helped me gain a better understanding of what Transcribe! does. I am working on some Jazz tunes currently. I play Bass. Right now I am trying to figure out the "Record" feature. I have some vinyl I need to get put into Transcribe! Any help with that would be appreciated. Thanks again! Kurt

[Wallimann]

@Bassmint44 Hi buddy!

Thanks for the nice words!

I'm glad Transcribe! is working well for you.

I've never recorded from Vynil, not sure... Have you looked anywhere online for extra help?

[udamann88]

Great tip & great review.........I'm going to look into this software now.....Thanks....X-Mann

[Wallimann]

@udamann88 Thanks man!

[RoyReddy]

I am glad that you highlighted this Transcribe tool. I have been using other slow-downers which were helpful. This one is leaps ahead and supports the things I need to do to rip a lick. For example Brad Paisley's Welcome to the Future is a current pursuit. Removing the Bass helped a lot. The Chord Guesses are sweet. Nice ! very Nice !

[Wallimann]

@RoyReddy Glad you find it useful Roy!

[EstevanMusic]

I was trying to transcribe the guitar solo Steve Vai does at the beginning of "For the Love of God" in Minnesota on the G3 tour of 96'.

I got 90% of it done, but that was just the notation, finding the frets he was burning is nigh impossible.... @_@

[Wallimann]

@EstevanMusic Did you try with the demo of this software?

[EstevanMusic]

@Wallimann No I did it by ear, and with powertab.

xD

Is this software capable of transcribing faster than mach 1? o.0

[Wallimann]

@EstevanMusic Oh ok...

It is a great song!

Transcribe won't transcribe automatically, but I think the tools provided are awesome.

[anival2sorto]

@EstevanMusic You could try to see which fret he is on when watching the video and mess around with it while using Transcribe

[col33145]

very good tool to have ,anything that makes it a easy i am all for,,

[Wallimann]

@col33145 I agree, I realy liked the fact that I didn't ned to read a manual. Just jump in and use it...

[rynaylor]

Interesting software, but I think I'll stick with Audacity for the time being. It can do most of what was demonstrated. Keep up the good work David!

[TommittajaFIN]

holy audio/visual lag in the end :D but really a nice looking piece of software!

[NYAAAAAAAAT]

Very interesting, I must investigate further

[Wallimann]

@NYAAAAAAAAT I think you'll enjoy it. Free demo is available too. :-)

[freak49]

Yeah, you have to be careful about tab online. A lot of it is either impossible to figure out or all wrong to begin with. Stick with a reputable publisher like Mel Bay. BTW, whatever happened to OLGA?

[Wallimann]

@freak49 Oh yeah! That's right, haven't heard from OLGA in a while.. What happened?

[esistok]

@Wallimann OLGA got closed down by the NMPA back in 2007 :(

[Wallimann]

@freak49 Oh, that's really a shame... :-/

[TheStitchisBack]

It looks very easy to use.

[Wallimann]

@TheStitchisBack Yeah, very simple quite powerful! :-)

[zenabi12]

Great review! Very interested in this software!

[Wallimann]

@zenabi12 Thanks Zen, I knew you would like it!
