Welcome to Slow Speed CD Transcriber!

If you're a musician who likes to learn new songs and techniques by listening to the same piece of music over and over but wish that the music could be played a little slower, then you'll enjoy Slow Speed CD Transcriber. You may repeat any section of the music at full, slower or even faster speed by stretching the length of the music, from -50% to 400%. Without changing the pitch!

You may also change the pitch up or down in semi-tones or fine tune in cents (hundreds of a semi-tone) to suit your instrument.

This 32-bit program works with your CD-ROM drive and does all processing in real-time - no time wasted for recording or processing!

OK - But what is the difference between Musician's CD Player and Slow Speed CD Transcriber? With Musician's CD Player (and other software of the same type) you must make a recording of the desired section first - with Slow Speed CD Transcriber you just press the play button. The Slow Speed CD Transcriber software reads the music digitally from your CD - no time wasted for recording or processing. However you must have a drive capable of reading digital audio - most modern works fine. Musician's CD Player will work with all CD-ROM units and computers.

The unregistered version of Slow Speed CD Transcriber only allows you to listen to the first and last track of the CD. By registering, you will receive a password that converts the program to a non-limited version.

Note: When registering, you must supply your user ID. The user ID is the code displayed on the top window frame. If you don't see it, you must download the latest version from our web site. After ordering, you will receive a personal password based on this user ID. This entitles you to use the software on your computer.

How does it work

Slow Speed CD Transcriber works like most CD audio players but instead of playing the audio it reads it in digital form, changes the speed of the audio by time-stretching it and plays it back via your wave out device (sound card).

This assumes that the system is set-up correctly and that your CD-ROM supports digital reading.

Currently this software works with most modern IDE units. Some SCSI devices are supported.

Note: Stereo playback is currently not supported since this would double the time taken to process the recording.

Now read this: Setting Up


Setting up

We assume that you have successfully installed Slow Speed CD Transcriber on your computer. If not, refer to the readme.txt file for additional info.

To be able to use Slow Speed CD Transcriber you need to enable the wave out section of your sound card.

You must also set the output level to a correct level. This is done with the standard Windows 95 mixer.

Use Options Menu, Volume Control to access the mixer. Chose the Playback item.

This may not work in all version of Windows. If not, read below how to display it. If it works, click here.

The standard Windows 95 mixer icon should appear on your task bar if you have ticked the "Show volume control on task bar" box, which is located in the Multimedia properties window.

Double click the icon. You should now see the Mixer window. If you do, click here.

If the standard Windows 95 mixer icon does not appear on your task bar, do like this.

Click the "Start" button on the "Task bar".

From the menu, select "Program", and then select "Accessories".

Now select the "Multimedia" item, then "Volume Control".

You will see something like this:

Activate the "Wave" item.

Set the volume control to an appropriate level.

Set the balance control to the centre.

If you don't use the other volume controls, de-activate them.


Basics

The transport controls acts an ordinary tape recorder controls with some exceptions.

The currently highlighted button may be controlled by pressing the spacebar on the computer keyboard. To cycle through the buttons, use the [Tab] or [Shift] + [Tab] keys.

This means you can control the program entirely with the computer keyboard and also  makes it easy to sit in front of the computer with your instrument in your hand without  having to use the mouse.

A lot of buttons also have keyboard shortcuts, Keyboard shortcuts.

This is how the different controls work:

Clicking the Play button will start the playback from the start position shown in the locator boxes.

Clicking the Continue button will start the playback from the position shown in the time display.

The Stop button is used to stop the music.

The Eject buttons is used to open and close the CD-ROM door, keyboard shortcut: [S].

If you check the Cycle item, the current track will cycle between the time positions in the locators, keyboard shortcut: [C].

The locator boxes displays the position of the music in minutes, seconds and frames. A frame is 1/75 of a second.

You may enter a new position by selecting the locator controls or by moving the slider below.

Keyboard shortcuts:

Start slider: Decrease/increase position - numeric keypad [4] and [6].

End slider: Decrease/increase position - numeric keypad [1] and [3].

[Left Arrow] and [Right Arrow] if the slider has input focus.

You can store and recall up to eight locator settings with the help of the function keys [F2]...F[9]. The start and end positions, the current track number as well as the text in the textbox below the start slider is stored. In the textbox you can enter comments for each locator.

When the Locator text box has input focus, all key commands are disabled so that you may enter the comment needed.

The program automatically remembers to what CD the settings belongs. The settings is stored in a file called locator.ini.

Press [Shift] + [F2]...[F9] to store your settings, press [F2]...[F9] to recall your settings.

The marker buttons labelled [M] and [N] next to the locator boxes, lets you select a section of audio while it is playing through. Also sets the input focus to the corresponding slider. Keyboard shortcut: [M] and [N] or numeric keypad [2] and [5].

To select a new song, just click in the track list.

The slider labelled Stretch adjusts the Time Stretch (slow down factor).

The slider labelled Pitch adjusts the Pitch Change.

The slider labelled Channel adjusts what channel(s) you are listening to.

Normally you use both channels (mono - centre position). However, sometimes the instrument you are transcribing is more prominent on one of the channels. You may then select to listen to only the left, only the right or any mix of the channels you like. The music is always sent to both the left and right channels of the sound card.

Holding down the Control button while clicking on the slider resets the value to it's centre position.

Keyboard shortcuts:

[ + ] / [ - ] (Numeric keypad) - Increase/decrease speed.

[ * ] / [ / ] (Numeric keypad) - Higher/lower pitch.

[L] / [R] / {B]  - Left/right/both channel(s).

The current settings are shown in the status bar bottom right.

The Graphic Equalizer lets you boost or cut the volume at different frequencies. For example, you may boost the mid-range to more easily hear a certain instrument.

The graphic equalizer has seven preset frequency bands, from low bass to high treble. Moving the slider upward will boost the selected frequency band, moving the slider downward will cut it. Boosting the audio signal too much may result in clipping or distortion.

Holding down the Control button while clicking on a slider sets the volume of a selected frequency band to a flat position.

Holding down the Control and Shift buttons while clicking on a slider sets all the sliders to a flat position.

You may control a slider with the [Up Arrow] and [Down Arrow] if the slider has input focus. Use key [1] - [7] on the alphabetic section of the keyboard to set input focus to a desired slider.

The equalizer increases the processor work. If you don't need any equalization, turn the equalizer off by un-checking the EQ button.

Remote Control

It's possible to control Slow Speed CD Transcriber with a remote controller from your TV, VCR, CD or Stereo. This allows you to stand with your saxophone or sit at your piano in another part of the room where you keep your computer and very easily control the software. You'll need a special hardware device called "Irman", hooked up into your computer. The device connects to one of your serial ports and doesn't need any external power as it uses some of the unneeded serial port wires.

The Remote Control Dialog is used for setting up the "Irman" device once connected. This dialog is disabled until you move the supplied "plugin" file (cdtr_rem.dll) out of the "remote" folder and into the folder where you keep the main Slow Speed CD Transcriber file (slspcdtr.exe). Once this is done, first set the "comport" to the right value, press "apply" and then configure the buttons by pressing one in the window and then the corresponding one on your remote.

This "plugin" lets you control all basic features of Slow Speed CD Transcriber, such as play, stop, speed, pitch, start, end settings, etc.

It's also possible to close the software and even shut the PC down by remote.

The "Irman" device

General Information

Infrared man is a small (8x5x2 cm; 3x2x1 inch.) device that allows you to control your PC with the remote from your TV, VCR, CD or Stereo. It's specially used to control Slow Speed CD Transcriber from anywhere in your room. The remote control dialog allows you to define exactly which keys on your remote you want to use for Slow Speed CD Transcriber. This hardware has been tested with over 40 different brands of remotes, they all work.

Hardware Information

There are two versions of the Irman, one with casing called the normal version. Also available is one without casing, a circuit board with all components soldered on, called the hobby version. The normal version costs $35,- which is payable by credit card, cash and wire, while the hobby version costs $25,- which is only payable by cash or wire.

Please go to the Irman homepage for more information about the Irman device and how to buy it.

CD-ROM Device

Select the CD-ROM device the program should use.

CD ROM Type

The command set to be used for the CD reader.

Unfortunately, different CD players use ASPI calls in different ways. All IDE CD players use ASPI calls in the same way.

If you have an IDE device, select the IDE-ATAPI item.

SCSI units uses their own command set. Select the item that corresponds to your SCSI drive. If your brand is not listed, try another selection. It may work anyway.

If you have a SCSI device, select one of the SCSI items.

DAE Speed

Some CD-ROM drives supports setting the Digital Audio Extraction speed.

If you experience problems with playing, try to decrease the read speed. If not, use the Max Speed setting.

This feature only works with ATAPI/IDE drives.

Drive

The Windows internal CD player uses a file called cdplayer.ini to store information about CD's. Slow Speed CD Transcriber also uses this file for getting information about song titles, artists etc. This text file is stored in your Windows directory (WinNT for Windows NT systems).

If you have more than one CD unit you may need to set the correct drive letter for the selected device.

If no selection works, send an e-mail to your CD-ROM manufacturer and ask them to send a description of their command set for audio extraction.

Since we don't have the possibility to test all different brands and types of SCSI CD-ROM units, please let us know whether your SCSI CD-ROM works or not.

Please send an email to: scsi@ronimusic.com


Button Settings

Here's where you make the settings for the behaviour of some of the buttons.

Stop button changes focus to

Here you choose what button will receive the input focus when clicking the Stop button.

The two choices are the Play or the Continue button.

If you want to repeat a certain section over and over, choose the Play button to receive the Input focus whenever Stop is pressed.

If you want to continue where the music stops, choose the Continue button to receive the Input focus whenever Stop is pressed.


General Settings

Here's where you make the settings for the playback and processing of the music.

Wave Out Device

If you have more than one soundcard, you may here select which one to use.

Use the output section of your Mixer to enable the wave section of your soundcard and to set an appropriate output level.

Sample Frequency

The highest frequency a digital audio recording can reproduce is half the sampling frequency. This means, a higher setting will increase the audio quality but will also increase the time taken to process it.

Prefilter

When using a sample frequency setting of 11025 and 22050, there may be a need for removing some of the higher frequencies. If you find higher pitched sounds like a hi-hat sounding distorted, check this item. This increases the processor work.

The settings below are default settings which may not be necessary to change.

Chunk Size

The slow down process uses something called Fast Fourier Transform. This setting depends on the type of music but also on the Sample Frequency setting. Higher Sample Frequency typically need a larger Chunk Size setting. Lower settings will make the processing faster but the sound may be grainier. This value is automatically set when changing sample frequency but may also be set manually.

Spacing Factor

Spacing of the Chunk Size. Lower settings will make the processing faster but the sound may be grainier.

Bandpass Factor

Another setting to fine-tune the sound. Lower settings will make the processing faster but the sound level may fluctuate. Higher settings improves the sound quality but uses more processor time.

Buffer Size

This setting decides the size of the buffer used for processing the music.

If your computer is fast enough, smaller settings makes the program respond better to mouse-clicks, slider movements etc.

Note: Some CD-ROM units may not be able to read large chunks of data. If you get an error message, try to use a the smallest setting.

Suggest Settings

Suggests settings for a good ratio between audio quality and processing time.

Transcribing
Some thoughts about transcribing

These are my personal thoughts and primarily based on my experiences as a teacher and working jazz musician. I do however think they apply for all kinds of musicians.

Why transcribe?

Musicians has forever been transcribing and listening to other musicians in order to learn. Listening and transcribing are absolutely the greatest way to learn a tradition that really is oral. No book in the world can describe how something sounds! You are practising your ear, your instrumental skill, note writing, phrasing etc.

What should I transcribe? Is it "dangerous" to transcribe?

Depends on whom you're and what you're transcribing.

If you are a beginner, this is the greatest way to understand what the big guys are doing (they've all actually been doing the same).

Have you come a bit longer on the way, maybe you should be a bit careful about transcribing your idols. There is a risk that you will only becomes a copy. Rather transcribe musicians that you think are different to yourself. Transcribe other instruments. Check out the older musicians that are the roots of your idols.

Not only transcribe the notes, play along and try to copy the general feeling of the musician or the things he are playing.

Be careful if you are using headphones. It's very easy to increase the volume to be able to hear what the musicians are playing. You may damage your ears. Also, when playing in loud environments, always use earplugs of some kind. Tinnitus is becoming more and more common.

How to transcribe?

Begin with playing along to the tune. If you have any sheet music, learn the original version (melody and harmony).

Continue transcribing the harmonies to see if they are the same. If you know the harmonies, it's much easier to understand what the musician is doing.

Start transcribing at full speed, slow down the speed only when it's to fast for your ear to apprehend or when your instrumental technique is not enough.

As you go along, write it down. If your note writing skill is bad, do it anyway. This way you are improving this skill also. After a while, when you've forgot what you learned, it's very easy to actualise with the help of the written notes. Besides, many of you will now or latter probably come in a teaching situation, here you have some great material.

How exact should I be?

Depends on.

Are you going to write a book or use it when teaching, then you should be as careful as possible.

Are you transcribing for your own personal pleasure, you don't have to be that exact. The point is to learn something new and improve your skills

Switch between transcribing and practising. Often a couple of notes or a phrase is enough to give you a lot of new ideas that you may yourself work on.


Common questions

Question:

I get an error message like this: "Digital reading failed! Read CD command completed with error!".

Answer:

You CD-ROM probably does not allow for digital reading. You need a newer CD-ROM unit. Sorry!

Question:

I get an error message like this: "Digital reading failed! Buffer size too big to handle! Try using a smaller buffer size!".

Answer:

Go to the General Settings dialog and set the Buffer Size to "Small".

Question:

I get an error message like this: "Could not load library wnaspi32.dll".

Answer:

You are probably running Windows NT and do not have an ASPI/ATAPI manger installed.

Please read here

Question:

How do I do to get the Slow Speed CD Transcriber to start when inserting a CD in my CD-ROM drive?

Answer:

Follow the steps below:

Bring up Windows [Start] menu.

Click on [Run] and then [Browse] to the Windows directory and chose Regedit.exe

You will see something like: C:\Windows\Regedit.exe

Click [OK].

This starts the register editor.

Now chose the following:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

AUDIO_CD

Shell

Play

Command

You will now see something like: Standard "C:\Windows\Cdplayer.exe /play %1"

Change this to: Standard "C:\Slspcdtr\Slspcdtr.exe /play %1"

If you did not install Slow Speed CD Transcriber in C:\Slspcdtr, enter the current path and directory followed by Slspcdtr.exe

Close the Register editor.

Question:

How do I turn off the "AutoPlay On Insertion" feature for my CD-ROM drive.

Answer:

Follow the steps below:

Bring up Windows [Start] menu.

Click on [Setting] and then [Control Panel]

From the [Control Panel] windows, double click the icon labelled as [System].

This will bring up [System Properties] window.

From the [System Properties] window, click [Device Manager].

Double click the icon labelled [CD-ROM].

If you have more than one CD-ROM drives, you will see a list of CD-ROM drive names.

Double click the appropriate one. This will bring up the particular CD-ROM properties window.

Click on [Settings], and uncheck the box that says [Auto insertion notification].

Click [OK] buttons on the way out.

That will prevent Windows from receiving "Auto Insertion Notification" message that causes the "AutoPlay On Insertion".


Problems and solutions

Close all other applications - the Slow Speed CD Transcriber needs all processing power available and do not want to be disturbed.

Disable the power-management routines that will put your PC into standby mode after some moments of inactivity.

Disable all screen savers.

Disable the Auto Insert Notification for your CD ROM drive.

Disable background tasks like Cleansweep which monitors every harddisk access, and various virus checkers and anti-crash utilities.

Find Fast - part of Microsoft Office - could be removed straight away.

The quickest way to see just what is running on your PC is to press Ctrl, Alt and Del keys simultaneously, to launch the Close Program window.

Slow Speed CD Transcriber uses a method called ASPI to read the music from a CD, which is a relatively new way of reading data from a music CD. Originally it was devised for use with SCSI units but often works well with IDE CD-ROM's (via a command set known as ATAPI). Certain versions of ASPI however don't seem to be able to detect IDE CD-ROM's.

Windows 95/98 originally came with a version of ASPI that worked with both SCSI and IDE. Unfortunately this is not the case with Windows NT and you need to install your own.

An old ASPI manager for Windows NT may be found here:

ftp://ftp.irnet.ru/pub/Windows/NT/ASPI/aspi_update.zip

If running Windows 95/98 and the program reports that the ASPI manager couldn't be initialized, although it could be found in the Windows system directory, one solution may be to reinstall Windows.

Or go to: http://www.adaptec.com/support/files/upgrades.html

and download the file 'aspi32.exe', and install it.

If you are about to buy a new CD player, copy you files to floppy disk, go to the retailer and test the CD player before you buy it.
