.."Great product, I can hear things on the banjo I didn't even know existed Thanks." Tom Burton
..."Your software works
great....I will and already have told many people about it...The
new software sounds incredible."
Rufus Reid, world famous jazz bass player and recording artist.
Recorded with Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, many others.
...."this piece of software
is an invaluable tool for my purposes (learning to play Chet Atkins
tunes)...[another product] took 24 hours of processing on my 486
DX2-66 PC under Win 95 to produce a stereo, 44.1 KHz, 16 bit ,
½ speed version of a 2 minute guitar solo and would
NOT permit multi-tasking. Your product is virtually instantaneous,
and the ½ speed playback is good enough to perform my task.
I have already recommended your product to others who will undoubtedly
purchase it."
Burt
..."Cool program!!..." Joe Wright, awesome steel guitar player I heard demoing at the NAMM show.
..."I did not make any
exhaustive comparisons, but it seems to me that the sound quality
of Transkriber is somewhat better [than a competing product that
claims to have much better sound quality than the Transkriber
does], e. g. for alto saxophone recordings (the instrument I play).
There is one big advantage to Transkriber: it processes files
much, much faster. With your product, one can switch instantly
from the original
speed to any other speed. With [the competing product], you have
to reprocess the file which takes a long time." Toni Linder,
Sweden
..."It's [transkriber
is] a super program. I have been recommending it to every cyber-savy
jazz musician I meet."
Paul Evoskevich Professor of Music/Director of Jazz Studies
Brand new sound engine which has the most realistic slowed down music and clarity on very slow speeds. All percentages of slow down (no limit to how slow) and speed up (up to 2x) supported. Slows the music down/up keeping the same pitch.
Note grabber. You can now focus on single notes or chords within a larger section you are transcribing.
Remember functions. You can remember various sections or notes/chords for later review. These sections can be named .
Many useful features for playing along with slowed down music and/or learning a part directly from ones instrument. Too much to explain in one post.
Many methods for controlling slow down (or speed up of music). You can type in exact amounts, change the current setting by percentages, 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50%. You can create your own presets or use our built in presets.
Transpose up/down by semitones and/or cents.
Continuation of our popular method of selection and modification of loops.
Vocal/Lead eliminator. This will substantially reduce the lead instrument/vocal on most stereo pop recordings. A more advanced version than in version 1.2. Great when you are trying to figure out a background part.
Left/Right balance and mixing adjustment for best clarity.
Fretted instrument control (windows only). Define any imaginable fretted instrument, # strings, tuning, doubling of strings (i.e. 12 string or mandolin), capo, bending notes, muted strings, chord creation, chord plucking, strumming, arpeggiating. Use this to try out chords, tunings, and such while transcribing. In conjunction with the notegrabber, you can quickly use this to figure out the exact voicing. We have a large set of predefined instruments but you can create and save your own.
Keyboard Control (windows only). Define keyboards with any number of keys or select from our predefined set. Play chords. In conjunction with the note grabber this can easily be used to zero in on the proper voicing.
Staff Control (windows only). Create one or two staffs. Define default key center and deal with transposition. This can be used to check notes or chords against concert pitch. Very intuitive and easy to use interface.
MP3 import. (windows only though soon on mac).
Support for machines with multiple CD players/sound cards.
Builtin CD ripper (windows only).
Adjust playback quality to coincide with machine strength.
Alternate slowdown for old machines
Transkriber is reasonably priced and easy to use! Window or Mac version available.
Regular price is 50.00

Cobalt Nick Picks at Banjo Teacher.com
Cobalt coated special designed custom picks designed for solid tone, comfort, and speed. Bob Perry custom made these picks for me by my specifications. They fit back further on your finger like I requested for more comfort and power. The no hole design avoids those finger through the hole sores and more importantly gives the pick more mass for a thicker, fatter tone.
Cobalt Picks at Banjo Teacher.com
A finish that makes other picks obsolete!
Nasa has been using it for years in high-tech machinery, where expense was no object.
Used on metals to reduce friction and wear longer. End Result Picks do not drag or squeak on the strings!
Less drag means faster playing + cleaner sounding!
Cobalt Picks at Banjo Teacher.com
This brand new pick pouch for holding you banjo thumb and finger picks is the best one I've seen yet. It's big enough to not have to cram you fingerpicks in it and it has the little metal hinges that keep in rigid when you open and close it. It's a nice accessory like a wallet or a key case.
Comfort Picks This is the most comfortable thumbpick I've ever used. They sound good and don't come loose as you might suspect. This is a great product that could be used in any situation. I like to use them when I'm practicing and I've just begun performng with them, they cause a lot less fatigue.
