Question: tell me more about transcribe! and capo.

I'm such a Transcribe! fanboy I decided to do a quick screen recording on how easy it is to use it's basic features.
One caution: You don't have to save your mp3 again in the app. If you do that it creates a new file in a proprietary format. The you need both files to run correctly. No benefit in my judgement. Just jump from mp3 to mp3.

Let me know if you can open the link.

 
@BlackCat What do the Piano keys do?

I've always used my DJ software (used to be Virtual DJ but I switched to Serato a while back). I like that I can change the speed and the pitch independently (If I'm transposing the song to work in 1/2 step flat or get a song changed to another key for a mashup).

Now the software allows on the fly "stems" so I can separate vocals, instruments, bass, and drums (Instruments are grouped because the software can't tell guitars from keys or horns). Not only does this allow me to isolate parts to learn easier... once I've got the parts figured out, I can leave the vocals out and most of the instruments to have a track to practice against.

Here's a different example of how to use that STEMS function, but you'll see how quick and easy it is to do on the software. Note: I also map the stem functions to the EQ knobs so instead of simply add/remove I can control the levels of the different instruments. Like to make one where everything is at 50% except the bass is the loudest so it's easier for my bassist to learn from.

The piano keys are above my pay grade. I never touched em.

I like Transcribe for it's basic slowdown, loop, repeat functions. It does pitch correction pretty well but is very crude for instrument isolation. If you compare it STEMS it's like time traveling back to 1989.

It's just a tool that I've used for a long time and become comfortable with.
 
"Marty... I can separate the vocals and instruments on the FLY!!"

Just a heads up for all of you....

Serato Lite is FREE to download.... great for practicing, looping parts of a song over and over, or creating practice stems with parts of the music removed. :baimun:

I have used Transcribe! for years to learn YouTube videos. Slow them down to learn. Speed them fast to really learn them. Never used the keyboard.
 
I used Transcribe for a long time, but I have now switched to Moises. I use the Premium version, which allows you to split the song into stems in a variety of configurations and presents a fader interface for remix and muting, and exports of mixes. The quality of the parts can be a little murky depending on the mix and layering, but it does a pretty decent job. It also has slow down/speed up with click or not, looping capabilities, key change, and a rolling display of the chord changes.

It's an online subscription model that runs about $40.00 a year, with unlimited songs, so I definitely feel like I'm getting my money's worth.
