Here’s another good one, Chord AI, play your songs or YouTube clips and it lays out the chords, I forget the cost but it’s not expensive.

I've tried various apps that claim to do this but none of them ever really get it right. I'm curious if this one is better or if you are only able to get it to work on very simple uncluttered arrangements?Bruce Bjork wrote:Here’s another good one, Chord AI, play your songs or YouTube clips and it lays out the chords, I forget the cost but it’s not expensive.

Here's something cool. A way to practice E9 fretboard knowledge and compose while away from the steel. It's a compact practice board.
"Velocity Keyboard" is a midi keyboard that uses the accelerometer to measure how hard you press or tap a note. You can smoothly slide notes, apply vibrato and it's polyphonic so you can emulate a pedal steel.
I wrote the developer to see if there was a way to add a custom tuning and they replied by offering to add a 10-string E9 layout.
I've got it hooked up to control Thumbjam (mentioned earlier in this thread) to control samples of a clean electric guitar.

Here's a couple more good ones, though not steel specific.
1) Moises - Parses recordings into separate tracks. I used it to separate vocals out so I could transcribe them to steel, but I noticed it did a good job parsing the other instruments, as well. I thought this would be gimmicky but it works impressively well.

2) Beat Time! - Like Snippz (mentioned in first post), this app lets you slow down and loop a youtube video. It has pitch adjustment and note/chord detection.

I just completed this project using only an iPad and iPhone (with a mic and interface).
APPS USED:
DAW: Auria (non-pro version).
Video Editor: Lumafusion
Remote iPhone camera trigger: MIDI Camera
AudioBus and StreamByter allowed me to trigger arming/recording in Auria while activating "MIDI Camera".
Amp modeling for pedal steel: THU-Overloud
Reverb: ToneBoosters Reverb
Amp modeling on cümbüş double tracking with magnetic pickup: Blue Mangoo Gain Stage Vintage Clean
EQ, Compression and Delay: Auria built-in PSP channel strip and delay.

I can’t believe how well Moises works. Just downloaded and tried it enough to be impressed. I think it will become a part of my every day practice!

Lance, I'm not a master by any means. I'm flat on a lot of notes, I never touched the right-knee levers and barely touched any strings that aren't B, E, or G#.Lance Clifford wrote:Nicely done, James!
Just bought Auria during the Holiday sales, but have yet to find time to mess with it. As for the playing...., I've a long way to go before approaching your mastery...
Nevertheless, I appreciate the compliment.

You guys are so amazing. I learn so much from this forum.
I joined the Moises.ai web account just as a free user. I was able to take one of my favorite Ricky Van Shelton songs and separate it into four tracks:
1 - Vocals
2 - Bass
3 - Drums
4 - Other Instruments
I panned tracks 1, 2 and 3 to the left and the other instruments to the right on Moises and recorded the playback off the sound card to two L/R panned channels on Audacity.
I added a count off track to the start using a snare hit that I copyed from the drum track.
Because the other instruments were each playing in their own space on the "other" track, it was easy to cut the steel parts to a sixth track and mute it.
I then panned everything back to center.
It made a pretty decent practice track when exported as an Mp3.
BTW: I've used Pro Tools and Cakewalk, but free Audacity does a fine job for something like this.

Hi James,
That's really neat that you were at ATU. Back then I was coaching local baseball and worked with the McCrotty's some. Since I retired from ANO in 2013, I've been the High School tennis coach. One of my All-State tennis players got a baseball scholarship to ATU as a catcher about 4 years ago. I still play with the Tech faculty jazz band and usually go to Tech baseball games several times a year. My dad got a degree there way back when they were a two year school. Who was your coach?

I was only there for a year before transferring. My coach was Dale Harpineau (can't remember how to spell his last name).Bill Rowlett wrote:Hi James,

Yamaha Chord Tracker Great App
Great thread everyone! I don’t see this listed but it works great l use it all the time. Tell it which song in your library and it spits out chords as the song plays. You can tempo and pitch stretch, transpose and it shows guitar, keyboard chord fingering as well as staff notes. Best of all it’s free with no in-app purchases! I use on iphone but there is probably an android version. I got it cause l play a Yamaha keyboard but l use it more with my pedal steel.
