Hi,

I'm looking for a way to transcript Kenichi Mitsuda's "Utada Hikaru Piano Sings" into sheet music, via mp3

I suddenly got the urge of wanting to play this music, and knew that it would be a bit inaccurate if I transcripted it directly from mp3 to sheet.

These are the programs with capabilities that I am looking for, and I am open to other suggestions.

I need a program that can:
- slow down the pace of the mp3
- a feature that will significantly highlight the noise of treble or bass.
- ease the seeking power (eg. being able to repeat from 3:24 to 3:28 multiple times or being able seek to tenths of a second in any given time)

I'm also wondering whether some 'virtual piano's available on the internet in different Java forms are reliable enough to be in tune? I need some reference to the intonation of the notes being played in the mp3, because I do not have perfect hearing.

Please note again, I am open to suggestions on my approach to this - if there is an easier way to do this, I will certainly consider it.

Thanks :)

Don't know about the second and third, but slowing down the mp3 is doable with windows media player, just right click, and it's one of the options there.

Such a program exists, try looking up "Transcribe!" on google.
It costs quite a bit though =P
