I just signed up and have only looked at it for about 20 seconds. Seriously impressed with the chords it has found so far. Great job! Can't wait to check out more later.

#12I couldn't get this to work, after selecting a song it appears to work for ~30 seconds and replies with "This song cannot be analyzed because it is not set as public on YouTube." or "This song cannot be analyzed because it is not set as public on SoundCloud."
What songs? I'll check

#13I'm using Firefox and it kept crashing on me on about half the songs I tried.

#14Hello, 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…
Wow, this is an amazing piece of work.
I tried a few songs. It was not clear you could make the screen larger but once I did I just loved the way it counts the beats.
The second song I tried did not work. It stated the song could not be analysed because it was not public, although it was in the search results.
The last song: https://www.youtab.me/search/arctic-monkeys-mar it did not do so well on, but I guess this is where the community comes in.

This is a great web app! I have been searching for something like this for when looking for chords! Really great job!
Re: YouTab: Automatically get chords for music
#16I'm pretty impressed with this - I purposely fed it a song I thought would kill it ("Fuzz Universe" By Paul Gilbert) - It did an impressive job of capturing many of the underlying chords, while ignoring the lead lines over the top. I notice that it is not really great at capturing very fast chord changes, an has some trouble with varying time signatures, but great first effort. It would be pretty cool if you could upload your own MP3 to it, and get a result back - that way you could generate the output off a recording of yourself to distribute to bandmates.
Edit: Later, that song did kill it, as the changes got faster/harder.
Also, it doesn't seem to have a complete set of possible chords - one song to check would be "A hard Day's Night" by the Beatles. It has a difficult and distinct first Chord which might be valuable to test against.

#17Wow. Great work! Dropping lyrics in and then adjusting the timings was easy and fun.
I wasn't aware at first that 'contributing' to a song would be public. This is cool and intuitive, although I'd prefer to contribute anonymously.

Here's the reason for your downvotes:

#20Awesome project,personally I feel there should more options for discovering music, like languages etc. That will also help you in user engagement.
