Works very nicely even with difficult program material (I listen to a lot of weird electronic stuff), but wit would be nice if it had export-to-MIDI or suchlike.

Re: YouTab: Automatically get chords for music
#44Hello, I've been hard at work on a project that I would like to share with you. It's called YouTab and its what I believe is a great way to sync lyrics and chords with music. The smart guys I work with use a nifty algorithm to "listen" to the music and in a lot of cases it does a really good job in getting the chords. But since technology has its limits there's an editor application that lets you fix what is wrong. I…
The algorithm for generating chords does seem to work very well for simple songs, and at least makes a good stab at more complicated songs, for the guitar-driven songs I tried.
In terms of presentation and editing, I believe the guys at http://www.soundslice.com/ have a solution that is much better. I would love to see a synthesis of these two technologies, with YouTab producing a first draft of a sheet for SoundSlice based on any video.

Very cool—thanks for sharing!
One feature that might be nice would be to allow for transposing or denoting that a capo should be used.

oh come on, 90% of what's on the site now is in clear violation of the TOS I quoted. or are you suggesting that, for example, user 'Descending' owns the rights to 'Help' from the Beatles ? how do you explain these rules in regard to this : YouTab also requires that the music videos that you attach to your tablature shall be your own or videos which you are licensed to display; for example, you are not allowed to embe…
OK, so here goes: 1. The site is DMCA compliant 2. Lyrics are provided legally through musixmatch 3. Chords as they are presented on the site are legal. We spent a lot of time and money making sure of that. Yes, the TOS should be updated which I will take care ASAP.
I agree that the site is DMCA compliant, you've covered that. lyrics added by the users for tracks that musixmatch hasn't got the rights to will probably still be a problem. the chords are, I guess, no problem, as you can't copyright a chord progression.
the big problem however is the embedding of material from soundcloud and youtube. while strictly speaking it might be legal, the total experience of your site is severely impacted by the fact that youtube continually removes video's that violate _their_ TOS, leaving orphaned tabs. or, as I myself noticed, blocks embedding of most tracks (at least for me, there's probably some geo-blocking going on).
I really like the interface, I'm very impressed with how well it works for most tracks (and fast too), but by making it dependent on difficult external parties like youtube and soundcloud I don't see it taking off. I've had very similar usability problems with all other projects that attempt similar things.
edit : I'll check back for the updated TOS later. I'm curious what they'll say...

#47Why does it think this video

has anything to do with Glenn Gould?

It tries to figure out the artist by itself and as with all automatic things like this it missed sometimes.

Thanks for the insight. I agree that a 3rd party media provider such as YouTube & SoundCloud has it potential for problems. It's not a perfect solution I agree. I have been toying with re-attaching tabs to different audio sources when a video dies for example. I'm not entirely happy with current results. It should be automatic, which I have a pretty good idea on how to do, but haven't gotten around to implementing yet.

#50This is awesome. The first song I tried worked perfectly. Well done!
