... I don't know which are best but if people want to recommend things they've tried for converting video to QuickTime format that T! can use, I'm happy to add...
Hi Hugh I also find YouTube a brilliant resource for live performances to inform my transcriptions. ... drive yet though. I'm using a PC running Windows Vista....
Yes! Thanks for video Andy. I wasn't quite sure how useful it would be to me but I am now convinced. So far this new Transcribe! feature has helped me learn...
Thanks, I've added a mention for Videobox and the one that was mentioned yesterday and a couple of others to http://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/video.html ...
Hi, I'm new here. What transcription software could you recommend? Ideally, I'm interested in one that can convert mp3's (or wav) files into musical notation...
This is a frequently asked question... AFAIK there is no automatic way of transcribing music to a useful standard except maybe in some very simple cases. But...
... There are a few programs that offer this, but none (so far) that come anywhere near delivering, except for trivially simple input. Still a job for your...
Greets, all, and thanks so much for this mailing list. :-) For many years, I've used Finale 2003, but have been scared off from upgrading by too many cogent...
Omg, I think Sibelius is soooo much better to use than Finale. Its funny you make those comments about later versions of Finale, cause 2002 was the last Finale...
Sibelius better than Finale? That's what I've heard, too, but I've had an instance already in which a client wanted the original Finale file. But 99% of my...
I'm trying the new video feature in Transcribe 7.50. Just downloaded and installed QuickTime Player 7.4.1 from Apple.com, and have opened up a .mov file in...
This is strange - T! plays the sound itself, and uses QT only for the video. But it may well be that QT opens a connection to the soundcard even though it...
I usually start a transcription in C major, then adjust the key to minimize the number of accidentals. Sometimes there are a lot of accidentals no matter what...
... The only time you'll get a choice of equal numbers of sharps and flats is when the piece is in Gb major/F# major (or the relative minors). Your choice....
... Laurence, What do you use to decide on the key? The top note of the first chord? The bottom note of the first chord? Janet [Non-text portions of this...
... Not really. Just listen to it and let your ears tell you what note is "home". If you must have a rule, the LAST chord of a piece is likely to be the...
Listen to the last Note or chord. That is usually the key about 99% of the time. ... avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean. Virus Database (VPS): 080211-0,...
... Random indeed, and somewhat contradictory? Any piece where IV, V and I predominate will surely be firmly tonal, quite unlike the sort of free-flowing...
Hi, Janet, The intro finishes with a Eb7 chord. The next chord would probably be the answer to what key the song is in. I guess either G#minor or Ab Major. But...
I would like to address this question, but I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. For instance, what do you mean "start a transcription in C"? ...
I believe the suggestion is to start with the key signature C (no sharps, no flats), transcribe all the notes into the staff, then determine the actual key by...
Andy, when I try to open a .mp4 file retrieved and converted using Any Video Converter V2.5.7, I get an T:2046 error from transcribe saying that I need to...
I agree that jazz tunes often modulate rapidly from one tonal centre (key) to another and often it makes best sense to write a lead sheet in an 'open key'...
Hello Al, Transcribe! will report in "System Info" (Help menu) whether it found QuickTime, and what version, so please take a look there, what does it say?...
