Greetings,<p>I happened to get into music (specifically guitar) during the pandemic and have had a blast recording my riffs. However, I leave the music recorded on my iPhone and have a hard time remembering or reconstructing the exact notes/chords I discover.<p>Does anyone know of any chord/notes interpreter on the web or for sale? I’d love to feed in the guitar lines and have a time-dependent output of the notes I had been fooling around with :)<p>Thanks in advance! -Joseph A.
Apple used to have a "Music Memos" app for recording musical memos. It also identified chords and allowed you to add auto-generated bass and/or drums. Sadly it was removed a year or two back and users were told to use garage band instead.<p>For iPhone and Mac, there's Capo which will identify chords and gives a pretty spectrograph for identifying individual notes and tabbing it out.<p><a href="http://supermegaultragroovy.com/products/capo/" rel="nofollow">http://supermegaultragroovy.com/products/capo/</a><p>Another option (windows, mac, linux) is Transcribe!<p><a href="https://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/overview.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/overview.html</a>
this is often called “audio to midi" or "Music Transcription".<p>In term of simplicity, Decoda [0] is supposed to give chords even for full songs. It is not precise though.<p>FYI, the best precision out there on polyphonic guitar audio seems to be with Jam Origin [1]. It aims to feed live guitar to midi synths, so you will have to fiddle around on a DAW with another plugin to analyze your midi as chords.<p>AI solved this recently to a higher accuracy, but there is no user friendly guitar audio in -> chords list out, app yet (to my knowledge)<p>[0] : <a href="https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/93-Music-Theory-Tools/6057-deCoda" rel="nofollow">https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/93-Mus...</a><p>[1] : <a href="https://www.jamorigin.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.jamorigin.com</a>
You should still be able to find the free (on discontinuation) Fender Riffstation Pro software out there. That’s what I’ve been using for a long time now.
