Cretin's Bar is an open-source program for music transcription/play-along practice written in qt5/c++. The general idea behind the program comes from the fully-featured, highly professional commercial software Transcribe!. Cretin's Bar wants to be a stripped-down, much less featured version of it, mostly useful for practice.
Cretin's Bar requires cmake, qt5 and SoundTouch. Optional mp3 support is provided by mpg123. On Ubuntu (or any Debian-derived distro, I believe) this boils down to installing
- cmake
- qtbase5-dev
- qtmultimedia5-dev
- libsoundtouch-dev
- libmpg123-dev (optional)
Once all the dependencies are met, the code can be compiled as follows:
$ mkdir build$ cd build$ cmake ..$ make
If the compilation is successful, the cretinsbar executable will be placed in the build/bin folder.
- Support for mp3 and 16-bit WAV files
- Slow down/speed up
- Change pitch
- Add support for flac, ogg, etc.
- Add save/load facilities
- Add exception management
- Add support for more formats
- The wave form widget is based on QCustomPlot
- The SoundUtils class is heavily based on what I have found here
- The FindSoundTouch.cmake file is from the pcsx2 project
- The Findmpg123.cmake file is from the zdoom project
- The Wave class is heavily based on the one developed by trodevel
