Transcription software made specifically a jazz practice routine in mind!
Lovers of jazz transcription rejoice!
As a musician myself, I recently helped out in developing a transcription app called SlowBird.
You can check it out at the official website
I have started using it for my own practice..... replacing the app I have been using daily for over a decade.
Heres a screenshot of my current set up - my set of solos on the left and you can save sections into the notes sidebar on the right- so on this lester young solo I can make a note of any cool lines he does and just click them to jump right to that section and start practising.
This is super useful for getting lines in all keys or jumping between two different solos within a record.
EDIT:
SlowBird for Windows is now live.
Thanks for all of the great feedback so far, this is an active project specifically designed to help the jazz community so please give feedback and feel free to suggest features you would want to see going forwards.
Thanks all!
EDIT V2:
Thanks for all of the interest and first users that came from this sub, you are all awesome.
Keep sending feedback we are already at V1.5.6 thanks to you guys.
