Talk:Transcription (music)

The "adaptation" and "automatic transcription" sections of this article still need major overhauls. I'll try to get to them soon.TheScotch (talk) 07:23, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

slower playback does not necessarily change the key

If you play something back at half the original speed, the pitch is lowered by one octave, and so the key remains the same. Also, the note names (i.e. A, B, C, etc.) remain the same. During the heyday of vinyl recordings, most record players had both 33 1/3 and 16 2/3 speeds and the common technique was to play a 33 1/3 LP at 16 2/3. The key would remain the same while pitch would be an octave lower, still allowing you to "match" say a guitar part at the original pitch with the octave lower rendition.

IMO we need to change the name of this article to make it easier to FIND. The words that we pick for a title should echo what is frequently typed into Search Textboxes on Google. At the bottom of a Google page after a search, they list the most commonly submitted word combinations. In view of that, my proposal is to rename this article "musical transcription" ( Musical_transcription ). That way when users frequently enter word combinations like "music transcription", "musical transcription", or "automatic music transcription" they can immediately come to this page without having to again examine a long list of unrelated options.
