"Transcribe" anyone used this?/Transcribing notes

[Rich44]

Alot of music I want to play is untabbed anywhere on the internet. I'm completely useless at playing by ear, and whilst not tone deaf, I don't think I'll be able to even transcribe mary had a little lamb anytime soon.

I've been looking for software that will at least give a rough indication of what notes are being played, to at least start me off on note recognition. Transcribe sounds good, sounds too advanced for me, but it should be simpler for bass as apposed to guitar chords right?

Failing that, are there any companies/websites that transcribe music for a fee? I'm doubting this with artist royalties etc but surely tabs get created somewhere? ;P

Transcribe is great - I live by it.

Learn to read music and it will be even better.

Which little town is Wales (I'm Welsh)?

I have to echo the previous sentiments. Transcribe is great. My bass teacher uses it and I also purchased it. I'm not as good and as knowledgeable as he is, but I can use it a little bit and it is a great help. He makes it so so much for each song. You'll not regret it.
