The time scales are not in tech driven microseconds (sample times or midi clock), they are for music (¼ notes, or 1/32 notes)… So, I assume that you comment about MIDI sounding “more quantized” is about MIDI files that have been quantized for the music itself. I understand audio technology and the digital signal processing (I did it for a living). In fact, the above scenario of “busy MIDI” can have the proper timing relationships when slowed down (the data does not pile up, there is time to send it). I don’t know what software does it best.įor a single piano track (a few tracks with no aftertouch, pitch wheel.) Midi can be pretty precise. The results are acceptable for some limited range, but far from a factor of 10. That does require at lot more processing than MIDI. Of course, MIDI does not slow down recorded music. That limited goal is easy without software. I am just learning basic jazz, and a couple of slow standards. That works for me, to listen (and play with) MIDI file at real slow speed. The details are preserved if the recorded paddle is “left alone”. So, if I change it to 12, everything slows down by a factor of 10, but the sound of each note is the same. So, when you slow it down, the sound is the same, and the time expansion is correct. A simple sequence of commands to describe when to press a key, what key and how fast it moved… Other such commands include the pedal and more. It tells the piano (or synth) when and how to do it. I did not realize that the goal is to play along with recorded audio. You said: “Both of those activities (transcription and playing along) often benefit from the ability to slow the tempo of a recording while not affecting the pitch, and that goal is what motivated the current thread”. If anyone has gotten the Mac version of Transcribe! to record spotify or youtube streams I would love to hear about it! Of course, one can purchase transcriptions or download them free from various sites, but the act of figuring out the notes yourself is a better way to really learn and figure out what’s going on.Īnd, playing along with a recording is the best way to understand and learn nuances of timing, articulation, and phrasing.īoth of those activities (transcription and playing along) often benefit from the ability to slow the tempo of a recording while not affecting the pitch, and that goal is what motivated the current thread.īack on point– it looks like you’re on a PC rather than a Mac. Transcribing is a central aspect of ear-training the ability to listen to something and know what the notes are is central to becoming a better improviser by reversing the process! Also, the act of transcribing is a great way to really understand and master how an artist approaches an improvised solo. Two important components of jazz growth are transcribing tunes that you like (melodies or even full transcriptions) and playing along with the actual recording. Hi I don’t think you’re missing anything!īut what and are referring to is the ability to listen to and slow down a recording from youtube or spotify. Browse and select a file you want to record in You can see here that the red bars at the bottom are active, meaning there’s an audio signal present. Now open Transcribe and open the recorder using the Microphone icon at the top left. Open Spotify and start playing a song, to get some audio going. Make sure ‘Stereo mix’ is enabled it may be hidden right click the window and select ‘Show Disabled Devices’Įnable the ‘Stereo-mix’ recording device: Here are the steps (apologies that my Windows is half presented in Dutch): To record Spotify with Transcribe, you need a licensed Transcribe and nothing else. If you have a bigger setup it can help reduce cabling. Still, it’s a nice system to know about audio is no longer routed over cables but network cables. However, you’ll need audio hardware on the other side to playback. As for virtual audio interfaces, an interesting $49 software solution is DVS, Dante Virtual Soundcard, Dante Virtual Soundcard, Pro AV Networking Software from Audinate | AV's Leading Technology.
