Happy Jack Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 That looks quite cunning. I'll see if they do a non-Apple version for normal people ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Clayton Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You can do the same thing with Transcribe! from www.seventhstring.com. I use this pretty much every day, and it's invaluable. When I was a kid I discovered that if you played music back through a double tape deck on high speed dubbing (so copying to another cassette), the bass 'popped' out of the mix, an octave higher. I realised that this was an excellent way to pick out difficult to hear lines, and found that it works particularly well for low 5-string parts. This can be replicated in Transcribe! by transposing the piece up one octave, making the bass pop out of the mix. You can further enhance the bass using the preset EQ filters and adjust to your liking using the graphic. Anyway, it seems that this app does the same thing, which is certainly very useful. It's a little bit cheaper as well. Good find! Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I annoyed the hell out of my pare to by playing tapes at the faster speed to learn basslines, and seventh string's transcribe is the single best piece of software I've bought. I'll check out this isolation software too though to see if it tickles my fancy. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML94 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Will this also isolate say horn parts? So you can pick the frequency and then work whatever you want out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Looks great - I think I will grab this for my iPad, it will be useful for on the go. The App is a decent price as well. I have Transcribe on my desk top (and of course it's great) but it does look a[size=4] bit like some cartoon animation.[/size] [size=4]Thanks for the heads up [u]low&.[/u][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lw. Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Isn't listening to music & working out the bass line one of the foundations of playing the bass? Guitarists might as well use an app the listens to their chords & plots a bass line for them. Need a bassist? There's an app for that...

achknalligewelt Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Just used it to hear some of the finer detail (finally) in the bassline to This Is A Low by Blur. It's only been 20 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I downloaded transcribe, and it seems that it will be useful. But, I was curious about the technology. I made my own version as a Max/MSP patch. It doesn't seem to produce as clear a result as transcribe!, but it's somewhere in the ballpark. It could be that I need to work on the filters a bit, both their cutoff/Qs and the choice of filter objects. The pitch-shifting and playback speed modification both seem quite reasonable.

dannybuoy Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Since the bass is usually mixed dead centre, could you add an algorithm to subtract elements panned left and right? This used to be the old trick to remove vocals, it was a push button on some tape decks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
