Chord Pickout software claims to find chords from any MP3 or WAV file
I’ve just read about Chord Pickout PC software that claims to be able to extract chords from an MP3 or WAV audio file of a song, using artificial intelligence.
It comes as an EXE file (so it’s PC only unless you have PC emulation on your Mac):
“All you have to do is to load a media file (wav or mp3) and click a button. Chord Pickout will transcribe the music and write down the recognized chords. The process is fully automated.
The best in Chord Pickout is that it has been designed with the ordinary user in mind, the one who doesn’t have perfect pitch and wants to play popular songs. With a little music knowledge and this program, you can easily figure out any song. Chord Pickout lets you recognize chords, write them down, edit chords and lyrics added and also print them.”
Of course, this music can then be used whether you’re a guitarist, pianist, or other instrumentalist.
Its main features are:
- Supports mp3 and wav files;
- Recognizes and displays the complete view of song chords;
- An easy-to-use interface;
- Ability to edit chords and add lyrics;
- Ability to print chords;
- Allows guitar fingering, makes playing the chords more simple.
I’ve no idea how well the software works, but it has a free 14-day trial. It costs US$39.95.
