I bought a PC program today called DMM sienzo which you can read about here. Anyway, i pop'd in my favourite albums of all time in the program and started to play along with Pet sounds and What's going on. Brian Wilson and James Jamerson are geniuses! I have always loved these guys but now when i sit with the correct tabs and notes to the songs i just feel speechless. ANyone know where i can get a poster or statue of these guys for my altar of bass?
Now i have to get a copy of the Paul McCartney/Wings album with "Silly love songs" on it!

Does it really spit out a bass tab when you give it an mp3? |

Those are 2 of the most remarkable albums, as far as the bass work goes, that I've ever heard. |

| | | | It actually say's on the package that it's a ~80-95% correct analysis. So my personal advice, listen with the program and your ears. There calculation on the procent is correct IMO. I miss some notes in the bass tabs in a few cases and sometimes added notes which is not there. |

| | Banned | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: chicago, IL. | | | I popped in a couple of songs that I know the bass tab for, and I know they are correct. It seems what this program does is just gives you the notes that are being played at that particular time in the piece. It does not differentiate between if that notation tab is being taken from an actual bass guitar line, a guitar or a keyboard.
It can't show you what the actual bass lines are for that piece.
that is it just picks out the notes. So what it gives you is not the correct bass lines, although it might be in the right key.
In fact the the couple I tried, although the notes were in key, were far off the mark of what the actual bass tabs were.
In other words no, it doesn't work. You still will have to buy mucial notation or find good tabs on the web. However, could be great for guitarists that need cord changes. Or bass players that want to remake a piece and do it their own way. |

I also found this to be true......  |

So with this being the case would it be possible to remix a song with the bass more audible in the mix, and then use it in this program?....  |

Not even close. I am by no means the greatest bassist ever, but I distinctly remember playing much more complex bass lines than this software gave me credit for. The sad part is you can very clearly hear the bass line in the recording.
I'll save my money by not buying it.

I "ear-trained" from records for years and it's gotten me to the playing stature that works for me, (and the people I play for seem to think it works, too!) For those that think that you can only learn one way: That's "dark-ages" thinking.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Darlington, SC | | | I downloaded this program a few months ago, and have used it quite a bit to get started learning a song. I find that the chords are pretty accurate, but have also had problems with the bass lines. I can't tell where it is getting some of the notes for the bass. But it does give some accurate tabs so you can get a head start on learning a song by ear.
Also, the formats it can work with are limited. I can't get very many downloaded songs to work. You first have to reformat them to MP3 or another type. I haven't had any problems with it reformatting songs from a CD. |

Edit: had a good look at it. I think I'll stick to buying sheet music and transcribing myself. does have potential though.

Thurisarz,Do you think remixing the track to be tabbed with the bass more out front help with the accuracy of the software? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
