Developer’s Description

Transcribe polyphonic CDs and MP3s.

AudioScore Ultimate 6 allows you to open a CD track or MP3 file and transcribe it to a score. By using the most intelligent technology available it is possible to convert up to 16 instruments / notes playing at a time into multiple staves, with up to 4 voices per staff. Immediately after transcribing your music, you are able to send it directly to Sibelius or save MusicXML, NIFF and MIDI files for use in most other music programs such as Finale or Cubase. Alternatively, allow AudioScore Ultimate 6 to print out a professional quality score for you.

AudioScore Ultimate 6 even allows the intricate nuances of a performance to be viewed, played and edited, such as the subtle changes in pitch, volume and timing. Alternatively, produce new versions of music using MIDI instruments - you choose which ones. AudioScore analyzes the original music in great detail so is able to play back with great realism - open one of your favorite songs and hear it performed by a brass band or string quartet. What AudioScore recognizes--styles ranging from solo & chamber music to jazz & pop. A wide range of music performed by non-percussion instruments. All pitches ranging from F0 to C8. Notes from chords that even the ear cannot distinguish. Even works with moderate sustain or reverb. Transcribes notes and rests as short as 32nd note. Triplets, duplets, key signatures and clefs. Pitch and volume changes at a resolution of 0.01 seconds. Instrument audio characteristics for chromatic visualization.

Doesn't do what it says it can do
dwmusic01May 13, 2018
Pros
There are no pros I can think of. :(
Cons
Doesn't transcribe to a readable score that is the same as the audio I put in, and believe me, I tried! 'On Top of Old Smokey' came out looking (and sounding) like Charles Ives variations on a theme of Brian Ferneyhough in retrograde inversion.
Summary
A great idea in principle, but nowhere near delivering a readable score, or anything that resembles the music i input into it. In its current form, the software shouldn't even be freeware, and I'm sorry to say, I cannot recommend it. Indeed I have no idea how it managed to make it into the Sibelius gallery of add-ons. Surely the developers themselves must be eyes-wide-open aware they're selling a crock? Back to the drawing board with you!
Sadly it just doesn't do what it says it does

Pros
The idea is great
Cons
It appears to track the notes sung of from mp3 but when you listen back they're all wrong. I recorded a simple tune and made into mp3 to give it best chance to work but hardly picked any of the notes so no use at all. I wanted to buy sebalius 7 and thought the products they sell with must be good quality but they are not. Why would Avid risk their reputation like this small I perhaps missing something.
Summary
I hope they can get their product working better as is a brilliant idea.
The software doesn't work.
louparteApril 9, 2013
Pros
The software does read the audio file & transcribes it to sheet music. It's pretty easy to use. Screen is easy to understand. Good job on the UI.
Cons
But it transcribes the music completely wrong - 100%. As a reviewer above wrote, it's 'absolutely useless' for transcribing audio into notation. It gets it all wrong.
Summary
This software is a sausage grinder for music. It takes your audio file and transcribes it into something utterly different and bad. I downloaded the free trial to see if I wanted to buy it. I loaded an mp3 of mine into it. And I watched the software work. The free trial transcribed twenty-seconds of the music. Then I played back the transcription. A simple Pop song had become something out of Charles Ives or a horror movie.
Get the free trial before you buy

Pros
I really couldn't find any
Cons
I don't think it works at all.
Summary
I do not have the full version of the software. I just downloaded the free trial version and it doesn't seem to work at all. I've only had the trial for a few days, so I don't have a lot of experience with it. I tried to transcribe a very basic song that had one piano, solo vocal and one cello. It only transcribed about 14 seconds of the piece. The parts weren't even close. This is a great idea for software, but it's not there yet. I would definitely recommend downloading the trial to see if you can get it to work before you spend the $250 to buy this.
It really doesn't work as claimed
Amateur-MusoMarch 4, 2012
Pros
Yes it sort of recognizes notes.
Cons
I tried it out on short sections of chamber music. It was hopeless at identifying instruments, inserting spurious piano and guitar lines. It found piano, guitar and trumpet in a string quartet excerpt. It failed completely on a five part acapella segment. Again identifying piano and guitar lines. It crashed a couple of times during my tests and at one point, refused to let me drag the divider between the score and track windows. following restart, it found different notes in the same file it had read before.
Summary
I can't believe that at this level of performance, it could save me any time. Even if I identify each bit of each track it doesn't seem to get the rhythm details. If you wind the sensitivity up you get many spurious notes. If you don't, it misses obvious things. It cannot identify instruments even roughly.
Works if you put some time into it

Pros
Does recognise the notes accurately
Cons
Could be better scoring, but works if you spend a bit of time with it
Summary
This product just does not work
pallincolnMarch 10, 2010
Pros
I would be delighted to hear if anyone gets any sense from this programme. Sibelius themselves suggest it doesn't do what the advert claims.
Cons
I can find nothing good to say about this product.
Summary
Absolutely useless!
SatoriShaktiFebruary 8, 2010
Pros
Hears the notes properly.
Cons
Cannot interpret durations or meter. Is unable to interpret even the simplest of single-note musical lines.
Summary
I'm a professional composer and performer. I first came across this product on the Sibeilus.com site and thought to myself, "16 instruments / notes playing at a time into multiple staves, with up to 4 voices per staff? -- Impossible!" Well, my expectations were far exceeded when I fed the program a very rudimentary piano sonata score in MP3 format. It wasn't even close. The opening line is triplets on quarter notes followed by solid 8ths in a 4/4 meter. What was interpreted was a mesh of tied half notes and broken 16ths / 8ths. I don't know how Neuratron convinced Sibelius to carry this product, but I can't imagine it will be on the market for long, especially with a price tag of $250. Don't waste your time. This is a nice idea, but the truth of the matter is --- there's no shortcut to transcribing scores (yet).
Easy to use and highly versatile

Pros
You can do so many different things just in one product and easily.
Cons
