Transcribe vrs. Amazing slow downer

[Les Fret]

I use Youtube. Does all you need for free.

But not with terribly good audio quality. Good enough for some things but not for all.

 

[Schlyder]

It only needs to be good enough to learn parts, which it is. You aren't listening for hi fi audio enjoyment.

But when the audio quality is better you also hear it better and that makes it easier to transcribe. But if YouTube works for you then it’s fine. I use it too, but for some things it’s not good enough.

LOL well considering back in the day you hit play and rewind on a cassette deck, or had to try and drop the needle on the vinyl in the same general area... it is more than good enough.

I remember those days!

Bummer that ASD no longer works with Spotify. Do any of them?

 

[Gregorski]

If you just want to slow tunes down, change the key or loop certain section get Audacity, it's free. I also have Transcribe and use it for, well, transcribing.

 

[ClusterFlux]

They are both the same price. Is there any major differences between them?

I recently paid for ASD, so I hope it's better, or at least not worse.

P.S. A few weeks later, I still don't understand what deCoda is for.

Once again, here is my "permafrost" opinion.
Get Transcribe!

You can use an app I made for the same purpose as ASD.
Why did I make it? So you can use Youtube videos (paste in the link/ID) and load them directly into a web app.

You can set loops, tweak them, shift them back and forth, half and double the length and save them.
Working on an improved version 2 at the moment...

can you also transpose the YouTube video (in half steps)?

The web app is awesome!!!

 

[Les Fret]

Just checked it. The web app works great but it really needs a transpose function. Because you can already slow down in YouTube itself. A transpose function would make it much more useful.

Will version 2 have the transpose option?

Yeah, but unless I’ve missed it, you can’t natively loop in YouTube which this app lets you do.

Yes but I don’t use the looping function much. Transposing on the other hand I do. To me that’s much more useful than looping.

That makes sense. Just a suggestion while waiting to see if that feature gets added, I have a Helix Stomp in my practice room and a Digitech Drop on my pedal board, both which can quickly transpose my bass to whatever relative key I need for learning a song in the correct position on the fretboard. It’s really fast.

Purchasing deCoda was a WASTE of money.
I still don't understand how can anybody advertise it.

 

[enricogaletta]

I've been using Amazing Slow Downer for a decade and it works without a hitch. Super!

I was just about to pull the trigger on the full version of ASD when I thought of perusing the threads here.

I'm glad I did, because Mantekka's LoopTube seems just perfect for my needs. Nothing to download, just enter the url of the youtube video, then pick the portion I want to loop and the speed I want. And I can save them to come back to later!

Thanks a million*, mantekka!

*not literally.
