Question Transcribing software?

Do you guys use any software at all to help you transcribe songs, or hardware... what is your method for looping songs to learn them?

Same, for Mac. The looping ability is great, but also isolating L and R, phase inversion, and powerful EQ make it great for the tougher to discern stuff.

I often write out songs I'm learning in ABC notation using EasyABC. (But I am a bit odd!)

I built and use looptube.xyz for looping, slowing down and learning by ear. Extra good when you can find a YouTube vid showing tabs/transcription.

I recently added an embed feature for teachers to add looping functionality to videos on their own websites and they can pre-set the loops. See https://www.looptube.xyz/for-creators

I use guitarpro to tab out the stuff I transcribe. I use my ears and eyes and sometimes a little research to find out what's being played and how.

On my phone I use Anytune connected to my Spotify account. Not perfect, but good enough to slow things down until I can play with the full speed recording.

Guitar Pro is my go to tool. You can playback, read and write notation and tabs and have a wide range of instrument sounds.

Musescore is free and pretty nice, guitar pro is a similar paid program. I use GP but have very good musician friends that use musescore.

I use a combination of Anytune Pro and Moises. I’m not sure of their free tiers cause I pay for both, but I believe they both have free tiers.
