Developer’s Description

By Luxand Development

Transcribe WAV and MP3 files into scores.

A friend of mine has perfect pitch. The only instrument he needs to guess chords for a song is his own ear. He can listen to a song and easily pick out the right chords. But, what about the rest of us, who don't have this gift? There are hundreds of new songs produced every month. Sometimes scores for current songs are hard to find. This is where Chord Pickout can help. This program uses its artificial intelligence to guess chords for you. All you have to do is to load a media file (wav or mp3) and click a button. Chord Pickout will transcribe the music and write down the recognized chords.

Gives an idea of the chords...
October 31, 2015
Pros
It will give you an idea of what key it's in but you're going to have fine tune... to really find the match... but it is useful if you're willing to put in some effort.
Cons
Don't expect it to find the chords perfectly...
Summary
Not bad... but not great...
Conversion from WAV, MP3-Mission impossible
visitorCNETJanuary 23, 2013
Pros
Nothing practical
Cons
Has no value
Summary
It seems to me that someone tries to accomplish mission impossible and looking for Easy-Believers to cash on it. Working program of this nature would make them millionaires but given value for mission impossible $40 is a pure greed. It's exactly as the priests do. Cash on God's existence nobody yet saw. They know the priests making money so will they.
MIGHT tell you the key the song is in. Nothing more.

Pros
It does come up with the bass notes of the chords, though even its developers admit it isn't terribly accurate.
Cons
The only chords this application knows are major chords. No minor, dim, aug, sus, 7th, 6th... Nope, as far as Chord Pickout knows, all chords are major.
Summary
If this worked, it would be worth much more than the list price, but since it doesn't, it ain't worth a plug nickel. I don't actually know what a plug nickel is, but if I had one, I wouldn't trade it for Chord Pickout.

Pros
Support finally responded
Cons
Evaluating again
Summary
Had issues with LUXAN (parent company) and their service couldn't get them to respond and send me the key needed to unlock. I've got the key, now let's see.
Good idea, but needs improvement. This is worthless.

Pros
Live playback of song. Clear listing of chords. Simple to use, clean interface. Chord finger chart for beginners.
Cons
Not even a little bit accurate. Won't detect minor, 7, maj7, 9, sus, dim, aug (and etc.) chords. Transpose feature changes chords sporadically. 21-day limited trial (only 60 seconds of song transcribed). Expensive for a program that hardly works.
Summary
This program is tone deaf. Wouldn't give a single correct chord even for songs crystal clear in its tonality. If you're using this program to figure out that "one" chord, forget it. Don't waste your time. This program needs severe refining in its tone detection before it has the audacity to charge $40 for it.
DO NOT BUY! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

Pros
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Cons
EVERYTHING PLEASE DO NOT BUY!
Summary
Upon download you will notice that there is a Trojan attached to the file. After you have installed it, then you find that the program will only transpose the fist 35 seconds of the song. Thinking you would be able to transpose the entire song if you bought it...you go ahead and buy it to find out that the REGISTRATION KEY DOES NOT WORK. And then you will have to go through your credit card company to cancel what is ordered on your card. Also, you can lose some sleeping knowing that some scammer out there has your credit card information.
Malware detected. Beware.

Pros
Trial run seems to work well. grabbed chords from mp3s and allowed automatic transposing.
Cons
Malware got by the initial file scan but was blocked when it tried to launch. Beware.
Summary
Bottom line--unsafe to download.
As above: Doesn't work
archskiSeptember 17, 2009
Pros
A nice idea.
Cons
Comes up with far too many chords which don't match what are in the original song. Seems to have a penchant for Gm chord. Produces chords for passages with only drums and rhythm. Costs 30 dollars.
Summary
Don't buy it.
Do not download! malware detected!

Hi, FYI, Avast Antivirus (an extremely up-to-date and reliable virus scanner) detected this download as malware. <p>Id love to get this program but without a virus.
