That figurative behavior is what brought you Brexit.

Less figurative, it's the continuous Brussels-driven Anschluss of the entire continent.

Nothing to do with Nazism.

Somehow, you manage to miss so many points implied in the posts.

The Russian army, by the way, goose-steps. A bunch of the Arab armies do, too. I suppose I could have used the goose-stepper analogy, instead - but WTF? There's a point being made - and in the fullness of time you may even get it.

When patronising sarcasm constitutes a valid argument you might have a point.

Your use of the pejorative word, jackboots, was to liken the EU to the Nazis.

That is childish and insulting.

W∴ Balboos, GHB19-Jul-18 1:27

It is preoperative - absolute - and as intended.
It is symbolic of authoritarianism - and as intended.

Now, further patronizing (or awaiting labeling as such):
Nazism is a subset of authoritarianism - not the other way around.

The image you should grab on to is merciless outreach to force all into their self-proclaimed 'better' way of life. With all the right-wing groups winning in elections throughout the EU and/or making serious headway (re: Marine Le Penn and Co.), maybe your original view is just more forward looking than mine!

So the Catholic church wears jackboots too then?

They are authoritative, after all.

W∴ Balboos, GHB19-Jul-18 2:05

Interesting you'd pick the Catholic Church.

So many other authoritarian religions to choose from! Although the scope of the Catholic church is huge, the practice (implicitly, damnation of some sort for disobedience) is practiced on the local level by the lot of them.

Well - you're welcome to choose your own symbols.

Deflection!

Jackboots are a symbol of Nazism, you used it as a slur on the EU, which is childish and insulting.

Admit it.

Gratuitous (yet always well deserved) insults to the EU are always in order. What's to admit? It's a "given" !

The last great hope of an tired and failing old continent and it's already crashing and burning.

Such desperation. Why is that?

The EU is a mess, it is scared, always has been, and is heavy handed because of that. But it isnt evil, and is a force for good in the world. As mistaken as it often is, it's intentions are good.

There are issues with having a past, the benefit of the new world is it was a clean slate, no need to drag history around with you, no need to cater to it. A good thing IMO.

But tired and old dont always go hand in hand. There is nothing tired about European music for example. Smile | :)

You may link the two, but the world at large doesn't. E.g. Google "jackboots" and you will not find the word "Nazi" in the results page.
But whatever. Not sure there's any childishness involved, and even if it were intended as an insult, why not? Are we now in a world where we are not allowed to use insults? No-one on this site was being insulted, it seems to be just you who have taken offence for some reason, as a result of concocting some link between the word "jackboots" and "nazi", combined with a personal need to defend the EU.
(Oh, and yes I realise that Google is not a definitive source for everything, but it does tend to give some indication of common usage)

I may be totally wrong, but it seems that there should be a fairly good piece of software that can "listen" to a WAV or MP3 of a song, and transcribe (polyphonically) the various parts into staves of notes for that instrument.

Anyone know of such an application? Anyone aware of one being developed using machine learning?

Thanks in advance.

'Sounds' like a great concept! The problem would be isolating each instrument from a mixed track.

You mean like this:
Flying Colors - Infinite Fire - YouTube[^]

If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Sort of...it looks like it requires video of the instruments as they're played...not helpful for a wav or mp3. Still very cool that they can do that. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Thanks, Ravi. Unfortunately, the app does not allow a trial period that reads WAV or MP3 files without providing a charge card.

Before I handover card info, I need to see it work.

I do appreciate your quick response.

I thought they had a free version that would let you notate by singing?

My intended use is to transcribe (within a reasonable percentage) a polyphonic musical WAV or MP3 file. Monophonic would not let me know how well the software works for what I want.

Thanks

how much music do you need to transcribe? if it's not much, you could hire a professional musician and have it done in no time for very little $.
