Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I have done many transcriptions of jazz artists and have tried using 
the Time and Pitch machine to slow the track down so I can hear each 
note.  I set the Time Machine on half of the original tempo and 
press "process and paste." I tried setting the Algorithm on monophonic 
but didn't hear any difference.

However, I don't seem to be able to do it without having a loud 
swishing sound in the background and a lot of distortion which make is 
often impossible to hear each note.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,


Tim

I just saw some software mentioned in a magazine which is supposed to help 
transcribe the sheetmusic of audio. Of course the time and pitch machine is a 
bit low quality compared to Izotope Radius. You might also try melodyne.

Hi Tim,

Perhaps the Amazing Slow Downer is the ticket. Written by a Jazz musician
just to help in transcription. I bought it years ago version 1.x and now it
is at 3.x. He never charges for updates. There is a free trial and you can
buy it for $45.

So what you guys are telling me is that there is nothing in Logic which will do the trick?

I mostly transcribe without slowing down (when I need that I mainly  
use Melodyne).
If you can´t get it directly, loop the parts you´re working on in the  
sample editor until you have it down.

Logic has a lot but not everything. There is the time pitch machine (so-so 
quality). There might be some trick of saving as a 20k sample rate then play as 
41k to get half speed. What I have done before is to keep in real time, but 
just play a midi track a long with it. You can then keep playing over 
troublesome parts, and use your ears as a guide. in the end you have a midi 
transcription which is more accurate for the microtiming than sheet music.

Tim,

You've been doing it the hard way. Here's the easy solution, and I give it
my highest recommendation. It's called "The Amazing Slow Downer", and it
works great:

I just downloaded it, tried it out and, true to it's name, it is truly amazing.
