I transcribe all the time, transcription is one of the most powerful tools in a musician's aresenal.

What's "it" ?

It's great. I've used it for years. I especially like the ability to save EQ settings (isolate the bass) and loop over sections. You can also easily change the key of a song pretty easily which helps practice if say, your band plays in a different vocal range.

Download the trial and check it out for yourself. It's fully functional for 30 days.

There are even a few demo's on Youtube of how to use it.

A month ago, I download and tried pretty much all of the transcribing software. Transcribe! wins hands down!

I'm just about out of days for the 30 day trial, and I'm going to fork out the $50 it cost to buy it, it's so good...

Yes the EQ is cool. You can also transpose any song to any pitch, ...Want to learn it a half step down, not a problem...
learn a fast lick @ 200 bpm, drop the speed by 50 or 70%...
Not sure about a note, highlight it, and check the keyboard and see if the note it finds makes sense.
You can loop sections, play it slowly and build speed to get it under your fingers...

You can easily identify measure, by tapping "b" on your keyboard, you can also name those markers...very handy when you transcribe like I do.

As you can tell, I really like it, and I don't even get a commission or a free copy ;-)

Do yourself a favor download the demo and give it a try...
Enjoy!

+1 It gets even better the more you learn the keyboard shortcuts. So intuitive and easy.

I bought Transcribe! after trying it out for a week. And I'm cheap.
