I recently upgraded my version of Guitar Pro to #8. I haven’t used it much yet, but from a video I watched, you can import wav or mp3 files and do your transcribing whilst listening within Guitar Pro. The video showed looping sections and transcribing which looked pretty cool. Only problem is I gave away most of my CD’s so getting the wav or mp3 will currently be limited to the few that I did keep. I’d converted a few of my old ones to mp3 but not sure I kept the files.
Definitely something on my list of things to do/learn. I had a bit of a go a few weeks back with U2 - after playing “With or Without You” from B2B, I tried “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” and got pretty close. I really enjoyed trying and felt great. Sometimes, even being close is enough to have fun jamming over a song you like
Hello:-) I want to try to make basstabs. Should I use the Transcribe! program that Josh uses, to slow down and listen to the songs and then Noteflight to write everything, or is there a simpler way? Is Guitar Pro better?
The first song I am gona start with is “It Still Kills” tuned in C-G-C-F, but I might have to start with something easier.
I have used both Transcribe and Song Surgeon for note/chord identification and Muse Score to write it out for many years.
Transcribe should be just fine for what you are doing on bass. Song Surgeon is a little more in depth in my opinion and I use it primarily for creating Guitar Ukulele Banjo and Mandolin tabs.
I know nothing about using Noteflight or Guitar Pro so I can not help you with that.
I would say if you already have Guitar Pro and noteflight try them out. I do not need to see a need to get Song Surgeon as it is twice the price of Transcribe.
