    Cheap way to (roughly) isolate the bass in recordings?

    Is there a cheap (or ideally, free) way to isolate bass parts in recordings? All I want for the moment is just to be able to hear bass parts more easily so that I can learn them. The quality of the isolated track doesn't need to be great, so long as the bass can be heard more clearly. Therefore...

    Any freeware to convert tab to bass clef?

    I find it easier to jot down bass line ideas in tab but to add the finishing touches they should be converted to bass clef. Anyone know of any software (freeware) that would allow me to enter tab and have it auto convert to clef? I found a lot of software that goes the other way. Thanks
