For a bespoke model that transcribes sheet music images well, check out our system at Soundslice: https://www.soundslice.com/sheet-music-scanner/ It's not an LLM, it's a custom thing we built. Here's a c

Check out Soundslice for exactly this. It's great audio/video playback (with slowdown, looping, etc.), with an integrated tab and sheet music editor. So you can write down what you've figured out, and it remains synced with t

Soundslice lets you start with a real recording (MP3 or YouTube) and integrates the audio/video playback directly with a tab/notation editor. So as you play the audio (with slowdown, looping, etc.), you can immediately write down

Hey, great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to write that. :) Keep transcribing and playing music!

I'm curious how it works for videos that contain moving tab (as in, the playhead stays in the center while the tab moves behind it). Seems like that sort of tab wouldn't work with this approach...? Kudos from one of the Soundslice

I took Dave’s “Write a compiler” course several years ago, and it was mind-blowing in the absolute best sense of the term. What a great teacher and person. Programmers are worse off for his retirement, but (given his career change) Chicago-

I also make instrumental music, and I have this same problem. What I do is: find a word or phrase that matches the rhythmic phrasing of my main melody. That becomes the working title. An example is how Paul McCartney’s original title for “Y

I'm a very happy Google Closure Compiler user, especially with the "advanced optimizations" flag. It does a level of code elimination and variable renaming at a level that no other JavaScript tool even approaches. Excellent s

I've been working on it full-time since 2012, so it's hard for me to reduce 14 years' worth of work to a single "most difficult technical step." Sorry, I don't mean to be rude or unhelpful, but that's not

I’ve transcribed hundreds of hours of guitar music over 25+ years, using the method described in this article. It was such a slog that I ended up creating tool to help streamline the process: Soundslice ( https://www.soundslice.co

Hi, I make that site! We don't have any "basic effects like normalization/compression," so I think you may be mistaking us for something else? Soundslice is oriented around sheet music that's synced with audio. So w

This contains a lot of advice about good writing in general. Ironically I’d recommend it to humans as well as AIs.

Thanks for sharing this. Your site is great. I've already learned a bunch of stuff, just browsing around the existing submissions. I had a chuckle pondering whether you A/B tested "really freaking cool-looking" versus &q

Interpreting sheet music images is very complex, and I’m not surprised general-purpose LLMs totally fail at it. It’s orders of magnitude harder than text OCR, due to the two-dimensional-ness. For much better results, use a custom trained mo

I've been using the Django ORM for 20 years, and it has yet to get annoying. What's your definition of "quickly" — perhaps 25 years?

Definitely a subtle distinction there. Soundslice supports tab in many formats (MusicXML, Guitar Pro, PowerTab, TuxGuitar, PDF/images of published tab, or tab notated directly in the Soundslice editor) but didn't support ASCII for

Yes, Soundslice has a ton of tab-first users. And in fact the primary reason I founded the site was to scratch my own itch of being able to create tab that's synced with real audio recordings. (I'm a guitarist myself.)

I don't fully understand your comment, but Soundslice has had first-class support for tablature for more than 10 years now. There's an excellent built-in tab editor, plus importers for various formats. It's just the ASCII ta

Just a quick plug: check out Soundslice. It's interactive sheet music with a ton of learning tools built in, including easy navigation, looping, tempo changing and transposition. We've also got a scanning feature that does OCR for

Soundslice ( https://www.soundslice.com/ ) is a fully baked version of this idea. Tabs synced with videos, with a full notation/tab editor and tons of built-in music practice tools.

I'd call this a California thing — or, more broadly, a behavior by people who want to align themselves culturally with Silicon Valley. Work with some Chicagoans (or Midwesterners in general) and you'll get a lot less BS. Obviously
