[Harp-L] Software

[joe_...@comcast.net]

What's the best software for slowing down riffs without affecting the pitch? Not looking to spend a fortune here but our band wants me to play some Popper. Just swell.

Hi, Joe.

I use Pacemaker Plugin for Winamp.

I've tried some other software, but this is the most confortable for me. It
allows you to slow down (without affecting the pitch). You can also change
the pitch without affecting speed (very useful too). Instead of menu
options, it displays a confortable control panel, and you can make the
desired changes in real-time (no need to stop playing the song).

Just google "pacemaker winamp".

Hope this helps.

Cheers!!

I've heard this one is pretty good. 50 bucks or so.

Amazing Slow Downer is amazing. Video Surgeon if you want to slow down
videos. Riffmaster is not bad either.

you can do that with audacity, which you shold have a copy of
anyway if you do any kind of recording or audio processing.
it's a great tool to have in your kit, is free, and runs on windows,
mac, or linux.

I use Transcribe.
Great software ! I like the fact that filters are applied in real time. It is very convenient.
The one from Adobe (ex CoolEdit) is very good too.

Hi All,
I don't use 'Transcribe' but I will transcribe what I hear, usually
using a pad of music manuscript paper and a pen. How ever if I use the
computer for transcribing I will use Sibelius.
Sibelius 6 is one of the best music software tools a person can get. It
could do with an 'Harmonica Tab' plug-in. They have a Lute tab plug-in
and I can't imagine that there are more Lutenists than harmonica players.

So there's a challenge for one of you computer smart folk, write an auto
tab plug-in for Sibelius using 'Manuscript' there plug-in writing language.

Once you've written a plug-in for Sibelius, they give you a royalty
payment every time it's downloaded from their website.

PS I'm getting a Yamaha digital piano for my 86 year old Mother to play
every day, the central heating killed the old acoustic piano. So when I
get it in I'll see if I can't put together some backing trax for
harmonica players to strut their funky stuff over.

I see you got plenty of recommendations for slow-down software (I use
Amazing Slow-Downer from Roni music).

Just a tip on the Popper riffs - they're so fast that a lot of the tabs,
etc you will find out there are wrong. The best source (if you can find
it!) is a transcription book that Winslow Yerxa of this list did of the
Blues Traveler 'Four' album. So with that, and good slow-down software,
the MP3s, and maybe the Bend-O-Meter tool from harpsoft, and a hell of a
lot of practice, you should be good to go! I would search this forum and
other harp forums for additional tips, remember to take any advice with
a grain of salt. What works for one may not work for another.

I recently downloaded 'audacity' and it works well for both slowing down and/or changing pitch. Only issue was that it took me a while to figure out that even after loading in the file you had to highlight it ('select all') to get the program to respond. After that I have been using it, or the new files that I created with it, daily.

I have nothing to compare it to but it works well for me and it's free.

I don't know if it is the best
but it is free if you are a windows user

the windows media lowers the pitch
I remember using it to practice
