I'm a relatively novice bass player with middle-aged ears that struggle to pick bass lines out of the mix. I'm getting better with experience but it's still a source of frustration.
I just came across the software Chord AI that will analyze a recording and identify the chords. I've only played with it a bit but it's done a decent job with most of the stuff I've thrown at it. I've made it throw up its hands in despair once-- I fed it Exquisite Corpse from Hedwig and the Angry Inch to see what it would do with the meltdown at the end and it kinda gave up. I can't blame it, really... I did the same thing when I transcribed it. (-:
It leave me wondering, though... is there anything similar that can pick out bass lines with at least moderate accuracy? It's a skill that I'm continuing to develop, of course, but I'd love to have software that I can use to check my work and to help me in places where I just can't hear it myself.
