Minimise interference caused by drum and percussion sounds. And experience superior pitch recognition and note separation.
Work quickly and easily
Easily create scores from transcribed notes. AudioScore will automatically detect all instrumentation and create a score with staves labelled for each part. Play back note selections in high-quality audio. Save scores as PDFs for easy printing. Open MIDI files to automatically create high-quality, printable scores. And work with Sibelius 8.
Transcribe CDs and MP3s
With AudioScore Ultimate, you can open a CD track or an MP3 file and transcribe it into a score. The software uses the most intelligent technology available today to convert up to 16 instruments or notes at a time into multiple staves, with up to four voices per staff. After transcribing your music, you can send it directly to Sibelius or save it as a MusicXML, NIFF or MIDI file for use in most other music software.
View, edit and play back nuanced performances
AudioScore Ultimate enables you to view, play and edit the most intricate nuances of a performance—such as subtle changes in pitch, volume and timing. You can also create new versions of music using MIDI instruments of your choice. AudioScore analyses the original music in great detail and plays it back with exceptional realism.
Create a score manually
AudioScore Ultimate can “serve” you a set of notes that you can quickly split, merge, resize and adjust pitch, purely at a performance level—without worrying about rests and technicalities such as key signature, accidentals, augmentation dots, beaming, ties, etc.
