What software to slow music down when learning by playalong

Holy cow. I spent a couple of hours last night with Audacity trying to isolate the bass line from a Madness tune, and then came across this discussion and tried out Moises.

It was amazing. I don't know how they do it (and I write software for a living! :laugh:) but it's pretty astounding.

Agreed! It's (Moises) worth every penny of the $40/year subscription that I bought this morning.
 
I’m trying to decide on one of these apps. I noticed that Transcribe! appears to have the AI track separation feature that Moises does. Anyone have experience with it? Looks like you have to have the premium version of Transcribe! to use it.

Seems like a fantastic feature for learning by ear.

Moises has been pretty good on most things I've tried so far. It failed miserably on an Aretha Franklin track from the Soul '69 album. It could not differentiate the bass line from the horn section at all. Interesting. (But luckily the bass line is pretty clear on its own.)

I have been using Transcribe! (paid version) for about a year. There is a feature to isolate the bass, which works OK. It sounds a bit muddy to me.

I recently have been using Moises (free version) and in my humble opinion, Moises bass isolation is superior.
 
For Transcribe!, there is a one time payment.

Moises is a free App but you are allowed only 5 song downloads per month (which I what I currently use) but you can get the paid subscription which allows more downloads (might be unlimited songs?).
Ah, ok. Cool. I was thinking there was a time limit on Moises (like 30 seconds per song). This is much better! Thanks!
