Personally, maybe I'm an extremist, but my advice is don't transpose!
That's a crutch! OK, if you need to bang something out really quickly, and
it has to be done, like, now? then OK, do it if you absolutely absolutely
must, but frankly, you're never going to get better if you don't just try.
I, for the longest time cheated and used transpose. Well, that went over
real real freaking well when I was asked to play Oh Holy Night at a
Christmas candlelight service. Oh, never mind the fact that they wanted me
to do it in C Sharp major, then modulate up to D sharp major. Boy was I in
for a rude awakening that night, seeing that they had no keyboard. All they
had was a true baby grand piano. So, I couldn't cheat, even if I wanted to.
And being the church orchestra was playing along with me, it's not like I
could a lowered it to C, modulate to D, no one'll notice unless they have
perfect pitch. It wasn't that easy. I knew I was doomed! I got through
it, but only by the hairs on the back of my scrawny kneck.
From that point forward, I made it a huge priority to never, never never
ever ever ever! use transpose again, if I at all could help it. Now that I
am quite confident in all 12 keys, I feel I could now have gotten through
that performance quite easily, which to me is very very rewarding!
Just a word of encouragement, I know some keys feel real real awquard.
Trust me, oh, baby, don't I know it! But stick with it! Keep practicing,
as though it won't come over night, you will! build the muscel memory. I
promise you!
Chris.

BTW, your other option, although I feel that transposing the keyboard itself
is the best, is to use the Audio Suite Pitch plug-in to change the pitch of
the original audio, record the MIDI, go back to the original audio and
transpose the MIDI notes. The artifacts of the audio transposition will be
fairly poor but good enough for reference. Duplicating the playlist at the
outset is a must, of course.

Hi guys. Is there a way of transposing when playing a midi keyboard in to
protools.
I am a very basic keyboard player. I have an audio track, and i’ve
inserted an instrument track, and i’ve got my keyboard working fine, But i
need to transpose my keyboard up a tone, so i can play along with the
track, is there a way of doing this.
I seem to have found lots of ways of transposing prerecorded things, but
how do you do it going in to p t.
