However, it does not add as much value as other applications that have plenty of useful features, from full DAWs to batch processing audio to VST/AU hosting. To me Capo is a very nice sounding, easy to use application. Reaper for example has a very good algorithm, and the current price is $40 for versions 3 and 4, or $60 for versions 4 and 5 once version 4 is out. Many Digital Audio Workstations also include speed/pitch capabilities.

That being said, there are plenty of alternatives these days, from the already established Transcribe! and Amazing Slow Downer to other applications that do MUCH MORE than slow down audio, such as Mac audio editors like Twisted Wave, Wave Editor, and DSP Quattro (currently on sale). I have to admit that $20 was a nice deal. When I tried Capo it was a $40 application, on sale for $20 here at Mupromo as I recall. Version 2 adds more features like spectrogram and TAB, but I can't comment on those. Sound quality was really good even at extreme settings, it was easy to use, and had some useful effects (e.g., EQ., Voice Reduction, Mono). Just some comments since I can't review it, given that it requires 10.6.įrom what I recall the previous version worked fine on my Mac running 10.5.x, but I never bought the application.

Maybe I could work something out with this program if the trial period were longer than 10 minutes, but phewy on the whole thing. I did have a chance to try slowing down the music, and that part seemed to work well. It correctly identified the chords that are in the song (I, IV and V in the key of Ab) but missed numerous transitions and the ones that were correctly identified were frequently displaced in time, according to the cursor position. So I tried it on a simple three-chord song (Buck Owens' Cryin' Time).

It identified Cmaj7 as Em and completely punted similarly on things like Gaug7. So I tried a clean recording of one of my own songs which was only an acoustic guitar playing strummed chords and a simple, one-note lead. The orchestration had some augmented fifths and sixths and, apparently failing to identify them, it just started making up simple chords like Em etc. The 'demo' lasts only 10 minutes! The chord identification failed miserably on a popular song with an orchestral background. I don't know what all the fuss is over this program. This is a must have for serious students and music arrangers and educators.

It also looks like the developers are always tweaking the software and adding features so I can't wait to see how Capo improves over the next year. I used to bounce songs between two audio editors and now I just use Capo. Add to that a moving bass line and other instruments playing different inversions and even a human will have some trouble from time to time detecting the correct chord.Īnd as others have pointed out, you can do pitch changes and time changes in Logic and other audio programs (if you own them) but having all the tools optimized for learning makes this a faster solution. Another reviewer pointed out that it wasn't accurate for detecting chords but that's a tall order since the same group of notes can technically be more than one chord. Pros: Fast, easy to use, built-in vocal reduction, built-in speed and pitch changes, chord recognition, an all-in-one solution for transcribing songs and solos.Ĭons: Chord recognition isn't perfect, a bit pricey for the hobbyist, can get a little glitchy at extreme pitch or time changes.įor me, this is a great for teaching and also for figuring out those really tough solos. I just upgraded from version 2 and version 3 adds a few bells and whistles that make it a more polished product. Also, you can create regions (which is an interesting feature), but the cursor won't move automatically to the start of the region you've just created, which would be an interesting option.Īs a music teacher, I've been transcribing musical solos for over 25 years and I have to say I love this program. The only thing that I prefer in Transcribe! is that you can click anywhere in the waveform to place the cursor: in Capo, you have to click on the ruler instead. In modern pop recordings where a lot of things are mixed dead center, it's harder but you can have good results using this feature to make a karaoké file instead, etc.

It surely will give the best results with old recordings from the sixties with a lot of separation. I've been working on Ray Charles' What'd I Say where the instruments are panned quite heavily, so you can nearly get only the piano and cancel the drums! Today I've discovered the 'isolation' part on the right pane: it allows you to isolate an instrument to focus on it and it's really amazing. I'm still using Transcribe! instead of Capo, mainly because I'm used to it, but any time I'm trying Capo I discover something new and I'm more and more impressed!
