We built that feature at Soundslice. :-) https://www.soundslice.com/sheet-music-scanner/

Check out Soundslice for exactly this. It's great audio/video playback (with slowdown, looping, etc.), with an integrated tab and sheet music editor. So you can write down what you…

Soundslice lets you start with a real recording (MP3 or YouTube) and integrates the audio/video playback directly with a tab/notation editor. So as you play the audio (with slowdow…

Hey, great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to write that. :) Keep transcribing and playing music!

I'm curious how it works for videos that contain moving tab (as in, the playhead stays in the center while the tab moves behind it). Seems like that sort of tab wouldn't work with …

I took Dave’s “Write a compiler” course several years ago, and it was mind-blowing in the absolute best sense of the term. What a great teacher and person. Programmers are worse of…

I also make instrumental music, and I have this same problem. What I do is: find a word or phrase that matches the rhythmic phrasing of my main melody. That becomes the working tit…

I'm a very happy Google Closure Compiler user, especially with the "advanced optimizations" flag. It does a level of code elimination and variable renaming at a level that no other…

Yes, Drumeo embeds the Soundslice player within its product. :)

Great to hear. Thanks very much, and keep playing music!

You're very welcome, and thanks for using it!

I've been working on it full-time since 2012, so it's hard for me to reduce 14 years' worth of work to a single "most difficult technical step." Sorry, I don't mean to be rude or u…

I’ve transcribed hundreds of hours of guitar music over 25+ years, using the method described in this article. It was such a slog that I ended up creating tool to help streamline t…

Hi, I make that site! We don't have any "basic effects like normalization/compression," so I think you may be mistaking us for something else? Soundslice is oriented around sheet m…

This contains a lot of advice about good writing in general. Ironically I’d recommend it to humans as well as AIs.

Thanks for sharing this. Your site is great. I've already learned a bunch of stuff, just browsing around the existing submissions. I had a chuckle pondering whether you A/B tested …

Interpreting sheet music images is very complex, and I’m not surprised general-purpose LLMs totally fail at it. It’s orders of magnitude harder than text OCR, due to the two-dimens…

I've been using the Django ORM for 20 years, and it has yet to get annoying. What's your definition of "quickly" — perhaps 25 years?

Definitely a subtle distinction there. Soundslice supports tab in many formats (MusicXML, Guitar Pro, PowerTab, TuxGuitar, PDF/images of published tab, or tab notated directly in t…

Yes, Soundslice has a ton of tab-first users. And in fact the primary reason I founded the site was to scratch my own itch of being able to create tab that's synced with real audio…

I don't fully understand your comment, but Soundslice has had first-class support for tablature for more than 10 years now. There's an excellent built-in tab editor, plus importers…

Yes, that's a Soundslice feature called "Expand repeats," and you can read about it here: https://www.soundslice.com/help/en/player/advanced/17/expand... That's available for any m…

Just a quick plug: check out Soundslice. It's interactive sheet music with a ton of learning tools built in, including easy navigation, looping, tempo changing and transposition. W…

Try our machine-learning powered sheet music scanning engine at Soundslice: https://www.soundslice.com/sheet-music-scanner/ Definitely doesn't suck.
