Music analyzing software?

Does a software program that can analyze any song I import into it exist, I guess what I mean is IE: What notes or chords or volume are being played etc etc etc...

I know for guitar there's sites that exist that can give you the notes that are played in a song and the same goes for piano and I'm sure many other instruments, so I was just wondering if something similar(but perhaps much more in depth and of higher quality, I guess I mean more features, more information about the song) to this existed for music analyization at a higher level I guess is what I mean.

Also if such a program existed it wouldn't have to be trance specific, I wouldn't mind analyzing classical/pop/rap/metal etc... songs to help me see what works in those genres and why.

please no one respond with "just listen with your ears"; although obviously I understand the point of your argument and it is a very valid argument, I personally think it would be beneficial to me to own such a program if it exists.

Also I would like to apologize for my ignorance, since all I have really done is taken information from the community and have nothing in return to give back to it since I am such a novice at this point in time and have no advice to offer.

Anyways if you have any input on this that would be awesome

Thanks and Kind Regards,
Zlaught

It would be even more beneficial to you if you learned to figure out the chord structures yourself.

Melodyne is something that might help you

Everyone has the most amazing music analysis software right at their disposal. It's not something you can download from a torrent and you can't install it on your computer. It's far more powerful than every piece of music software available, combined. Do you know what that is? Do you?















It's your mind!

Thanks man this is something I will definitely have to look into, it seems very interesting.



Although what I'm looking for is a program that allows you to insert an already made song into it and it will visually show you the song.

I'm fairly certain we're a few years away from that level of consumer-level technology. Melodyne's about the best you're going to get

Couldn't agree more, that's why I intend to do both.

Thanks for the reply, I guess this sums up my question unless someone else maybe knows of such software technology.


Also is there a thread that has a list of all available software programs? Like IE: I haven't even heard of Melodyne until today yet it is something that I think I may want to get; and if there are other such tools out there that I think I may find useful I'd like to know about them.


Much thanks to those with actual responses

Mixed in Key is soooooo much better... imo

its not really that hard to pull out a midi from a track just by listening to it..just takes time

But could you read the notation it spat out once the song was analysed?

What are you even talking about MIK is all about identifying a key of a track, melodyne is FAR more detailed and gives you the chords and timing. How about getting a clue before giving advice.

I seriously doubt there is anything out there that can allow you to disect a complete song for you to visually see all parts indiviually? If that is what you want?

Melodyne can give notes chords and much much more, it works best with less parts playing.

There are audio to midi programs that give you midi notes/chords of a melody from a song, but it depends how clear the track is, i.e. a melody or chord progression during a break down, when the full track is playing everything is converted to midi and it comes out as garbage.

why do you even bother talking to that guy? didnt you see the name?

AudioScore Ultimate.......

Zlaught,

Hello.

This software tool below....it can take into it any mp3 song
file and then it shows you all the notes being played and from
that you would also chords....the Melody....the Lead lines. The
structure and any patterns in the song..

Ofcourse, Trance is just filled with repetative patterns...these
would immeditaetly show up....in the results...

It isn't a free tool....so there is the issue....perhaps...

i don't like recommending s/w that isn't free...that's just
because with enough time....you may be able to find free stuff...
(just an opinion of mine)


http://www.neuratron.com/audioscore.htm

Melodyne i am not sure about. Melodyne has the DNA feature....so it will open an mp3 file but it won't find stuff if the song is in "different sounding" types of musical instruments....

that's my understanding....yeah...

There is also another tool which can look at an mp3 song and it
can "seperate" the different "tracks" that are playing....such as say
"strings chords" and then a melody of a piano......(shows you the components of the different tracks of sound in the mixed song.

You can then "delete" certain tracks of sound like say a piano melody....and put it into just "one" music file for your interest...
"export it"

the tool is called Hit'n'mix and there is a better version due for
release in say a reasonable "update" time frame.

Again, that tool is not free.....Zlaught.

thanks

Vince.

Wat... WAT... WAT...

It helps the intended effect if you hear it in your head as though Doug Henning were saying it to you.

lol creepy

Hi bru here is a link that will show you exactly what to do. Its no software though and it might take a few practice rounds before you get it right. There is 5 videos and everything you need to know is explained in a simple and understandable way.

Hope this helps

I think these analysis tools are useful, but they are no substitute for practicing and transcribing/sequencing.

It's still a bit annoying, but composing is basically getting down what's in your head vs. copying what someone else has already done.

It's like Autotune.

I think pitch correction is a great thing. You have that once in a lifetime performance that's ruined by a sour note. That makes it salvageable, and it still has use as an effect, someone just needs to find a way.

I've been doing the same thing with EQ, using an SSL console style EQ instead of a graphical EQ.

It's a lot harder, but it is teaching me to know more.

Speaking of, what do you guys use for analyzing your mixes graphically?

spectral analysis and whatnot
