I use it on my 7 year old 15' 6 pound laptop, and I performed a number of transcriptions away from home, upper half display for a Transcribe windows, lower half for Sibelius, and a headset, or small bluetooth monitors. This and possible solutions are discussed in the Transcribe! FAQ located at FAQ - Miscellaneous Questions about Transcribe!. OTOH, the only big drawback to Transcribe that I am aware of is the lack of a mobile version.If by that you mean using it on a smartphone or a tablet. To be fair, my Slowdowner experience was quite a while ago, and features may have been added. That's a good way to practice tricky pieces of music. One of my uses of transcribe is to export several version of a playback track, each at a different speed, which I then load and play on my phone or whatever in increasing speed order. I do not necessarily transcribe in the forward order of sections and measures.ĥ) Sometimes I use the video to analyse guitar fingerings, I generally use the text annotation feature to keep track of my observations (for instance xx4556) This is done by setting measure number as ) for instance default 33 changed into 1)Ĥ) then I focus on what I want to transcribe, possibly fine tuning some measure marker positions. Sometimes I also change the displayed measure numbers according to some needs (for instance having each section numbered 1 to N measures). I rarely use the Transcribe! beat marker feature.ģ) possibly edit a few measure markers to change them into section markers (intro, head, solo 1, solo 2. One can change this division factor along the music piece (for instance if the music piece contains 7/8 and 4/4 section, as in Blue Rondo à la Turk). My usual way of using Transcribe! is the following, not necessarily in the exact same order of operations.ġ) set measure markers from beginning to end (of what I'm interested in, or the whole piece), which means hitting 'M' on the keyboard while the music is played back,Ģ) set beat markers by editing the first measure marker to use 4 subdivisions (of the piece is in 4/4 time of course), all the following measures will be also using 4 subdivisions. Among the hidden Transcribe! gems, there is a nice 'navigation' feature across all the set markers.
