So there was this software app i had on a old laptop that no longer works that i am looking for.
it was kinda like "mixed in key" where you could drag n drop a song into it and it would analyze the track and give you the key/scale and on the bottom left you could even transpose it .. and up where the play header is you could even see the chord progression. i remember it being like a dark gray skin but can't for the life of me remember or find the name of the software, you could only do one song at a time but i remember it being super handy in a jam.It was Standalone only. anyone have any ideas?

Song Master?

 

No it was a stand alone application.. i got it from the sister site some time ago

 

Transcribe! ?

 

I think what you are looking for is Riffstation Pro and you can get it for free at https://sharewareonsale.com/s/free-riffstation-pro-100-discount
it works on all windows and has a mac version there also

 

Yes!!!!!! That's it .. Thank You .. Thank You

 

Once you described it I knew it was Riffstation I used it in the past, Sister site has a portable version search for Sonic Ladder Riffstation 1.6.0.0 Portable, Enjoy I always liked its features and is still a good and useful program

 

It's Sonic Ladder Riffstation.

 

decoda has a nice feature for working around the problem of converting audio to midi in your DAW. You can end up with a million little particles of midi notes that way. You can always add a synth like Serum where you can enable legato and it will reduce the amount of notes which actually get played. (you can just bounce audio and grab the midi that way). Or you can screw with very fast arp setting.

But with decoda, if you go to the export midi/song option; you can draw over the converted particle midi data, and then it will save as midi.

I don't think zplane have any bad plugins, actually.

 

I tried most of slow downers/pitch recognition sw, all above mentioned and others.

So IMO Decoda is the favourite, mainly for these features:
- in loading, it automatically snaps to the nearest exact semitone (think of a slightly out of tune song);
- it has a graphical filter box that allows to quickly isolate a sound, (similar to Roland R-mix);
- with the help of the above filter + the 1 octave up checkbox you can easily find not so obvious bass notes;
- with filter if you can change view to piano roll you can see the resulting pitch/notes filtered as well.

Then it's followed by Song Master, very powerful too.
