[jazzguitar] Software for transcribing music
Andy Robinson
I've seen some discussion here about software to help transcribing
recorded music but no mention yet of Transcribe! which I think you should try (OK I'm biased!). Features include : - Place markers on sections, measures & beats so you always know where you are. - Slow down the music without pitch change. - Chord analysis. Select any chord or note and Transcribe! analyses the frequencies present, and displays them as a wavy line above a piano- keyboard graphic. Peaks in the line identify the notes being played, and their harmonics. Transcribe! can be downloaded from : www.seventhstring.demon.co.uk/xscribe/ It's shareware - 30 days free evaluation then $30 registration. Currently for Windows 95/98/NT only but the Macintosh version is under development for release towards the end of this year. Feedback is welcome - let me know what you think.

from our web page: This works for stuff you play in directly into your PC from your guitar via a pickup & sound card input. We are currently working on a new version that will do imported WAV files, due out next year... Jon Aylett

Hi Rob,
If you like it, go for it. I've had several Heritages and found them to be good guitars. essentially you are getting a Super 400C at about half price or less. In my opinion, the Super Eagle is more comfortable to play as it is 3/8" thinner. Your's must be a special order because they normally have two set pickups. I have several friends with such custom made guitars and they are great. Have you been able to play it? If not get it on 48 hr approval and you'll be protected incase you don't love it. lan Lan Mosher, Center for Effective Organizations, CEO 6201 15th Ave. NW, PMB 559 Seattle WA 98107 [206]-297-3070 www.halcyon.com/ceolan Also: at [206] 784-9117: "Have Guitar, Will Travel", Emerald City Jazz Quintet; Guitar Times Two Trio, Seattle Jazz Guitar Society |

Hi List,
I'm very seriously considering purchasing a 4 year old used Heritage Super Eagle for about $2900. The dealer is a reputable Heritage dealer and has this one on consignment. It has a single floating pickup with volume and tone control on the pick guard. It's a large instrument (!8" rather than the usual 17"), but has a huge acoustic tone. The only defect that I've found is one very minor ding on the front. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. This is the first time that I've seriously considered getting a really expensive guitar (and an archtop at that). Rob |

Hi Dave, The current version of Musician's CD Player has a 30 day trial period, after which the slow down feature becomes disabled. So, free isn't an option, and shouldn't be. It's the best program of this type I've used, and more than worth the $35 or $40 he's asking. As far as slowing down being a crutch or not, I agree with you. Before records pianists used to slow down player piano rolls to learn the fingerings to songs, and slowing down records started as soon as they were invented. I used to slow albums down from 33 1/3 to 16 rpm, or put them on reel-to-reel and dropped it to 1/2 speed. Later I used a Marantz cassette player that had the 1/2 speed feature. It's a time-tested tradition for transcribing. I would venture to say that the most meticulous transcribers slow down music. Lest anyone think that's cheating I've found that most commercial transcriptions - and I include the Omnibook in this group - contain mistakes, and I think accuracy is important. -- Clay Moore -- jazz guitarist web developer clay@... claymoore@...

I checked out the Musician's Ear -- Chord Transcriber trial version and I wasn't too impressed. I think it would work well with pop tunes and perhaps folk ballads (anything slow to medium tempo tune with "basic" chords), but I suspect that an up-tempo Wes tune will be frustrating for the user. The user has to click a button EVERY time a chord change occurs. Yuk! As far as Reed Kotler's things go, I've heard good things about TR-400 (either here or from jazzguitar@...), but I haven't been too thrilled about the Transcriber music study software. It doesn't seem very intuitive to me, but then again I'm one of those people who hates to read owner's manuals and tutorials. :-P Like Alisdair, I would also be interested in anyone's opinion of DSChord Finder 3.0, however, as there is no trial version available. --brent Brent D.

[jazzguitar] Re: a greeting and a question
Thanks for the swift responses. I was thinking along the same lines as
the rest of you, but I just needed to hear that I wasn't cheating myself. I've been working on a solo from a tune called "Have You Heard", from Metheny's disk "Letter From Home". For years I have been wanting to learn that solo, but it was just too fast to hear, much less play. With this Slow Gold software, I've been able to figure it out (well only 25% so far), and the insight I've been gaining into his creative process has been wonderful. The man can really play! I've also found that Slow Gold helps me get over the technical hurdles in the solo (Pat Metheny plays quickly, melodically, and flawlessly) by allowing me to speed it 1 or 2% at a time. I can play along without trying to overstep my technical limitations (of which I have many). Thanks again for the advice, and keep picking'! Adam |

I heard he's a professor of ethnomusicology tooYeah... I ended up over at the UCLA site and was surprised to see him listed in that department.

i use a program called the musicians cd player, it's sharewareAdam, Welcome to the list! I also use this software and am very happy with it. If a tool like this is a crutch, then charts and sheet music would be a full body cast! Like any teaching aid, what YOU do with the newly gained knowledge is what is important. Let's say you learn an 8 note phrase over a "C" chord. Do the notes fall within a scale pattern that you are familiar with? Does the phrase sound better on one string or more? Do the notes fall under your fingers better at the third or seventh fret? How many positions on the fretboard can you readily play the phrase? Can you use the phrase, or a close variation, in one of your solos? Ad naseum...... As an aside, one of the first things I studied using the software was the acoustic version of "Hotel California". (There, I said it! I'm a soft-rock junkie!) ;o) There was one phrase that I could not get to sound properly though I was sure I had the right notes. Turns out that there were two of the same notes played in succession. One was acheived with a small slde up to the note, one with a slide down to the same note. I would have never heard this nuance without the software! All the best! Peace, Joe Novack |

Anyone know where Kenny Burrell teaches? The last I heard he had a position teaching the music of Ellington somewhere. CA, perhaps? --brent Brent D.
