Melodyne them. Filter out all the lows first.
Thats what I always use to get the chords, then the actual timing notation takes some time to work out.

Your ears???

This is one of those times when I recall all of those threads in which I've tried to hammer home the point to noobs that music theory is NOT a bunch of rules - it has very practical applications, such understanding chord progressions and intervals, learning to hear them in compositions, and applying them to your own. Trance chord progressions are notoriously simple (not that there's anything wrong with that), so learning a little theory and learning to hear intervals should have you figuring out all those i-III-VI-VII chord progressions in no time. Believe me, it's in your best interest to develop and improve those skills. Then, you won't have to ask others to do the most fundamental work for you, rely on software, etc. and your music will improve as a result.

That's all the preaching I'll do today, I swear. Amen.

the way I figure out chord progressions:
1) find out where the chords change, put a marker or something there...
2) loop just one chord...
3) set up a soft synth with a very prominent sound
4) try to find a note which works with the looped chord (there's only 12 options!!!)
5) go to the next one...

let's say the chord sequence has three chords, you will repeat those steps three times...

you don't necesarilly have to know the chord at once, just try putting some harmonic tones to the three tones you will get at first...then you'll get another three...

does work for me hope you understand


still a bit drunk from the night at the club
