Avid Sibelius AudioScore Ultimate
Description
The Sibelius AudioScore Ultimate 8 is the full-featured version of theAudioScore Lite audio transcription software included with Sibelius. With it, you can turn recorded audio or a MIDI or live mic performance into transcribed music notation. With version 8, AudioScore's audio recognition engine has been completely re-engineered to provide better music precision and detail. With version 8, you get improved recognition of multiple overlapping notes and minimize interference caused by drum and percussion sounds.
Sibelius AudioScore Ultimate 8 allows you to easily create scores from transcribed notes. AudioScore will automatically detect all instrumentation and create a score with staves labeled for each part. You can play back note selections in high-quality audio or save scores as PDFs for easy printing. With AudioScore Ultimate, you can open a CD track or MP3 file and transcribe it to a score. The software converts up to 16 instruments or notes at a time into multiple staves, with up to four voices per staff.
AudioScore Ultimate enables you to view, play, and edit the most intricate nuances of a performance such as the subtle changes in pitch, volume, and timing. You can also produce new versions of music using MIDI instruments. AudioScore analyzes the original music in detail, and plays it back with tremendous realism. You can simply open one of your favorite songs and enjoy hearing it performed by a brass band or string quartet.
AudioScore recognizes styles ranging from solo and chamber music to jazz and pop. It also recognizes a wide range of music performed by non-percussion instruments, all pitches ranging from F0 to C8, and notes from chords that even the ear cannot distinguish. AudioScore can distinguish easily between triplets, duplets, key signatures, and clefs. At a resolution of 0.01 sec, it can recognize pitch and volume changes.
With AudioScore Ultimate, you can create musical scores by singing or playing into your computer using only a microphone; no prior musical knowledge required. AudioScore Ultimate provides instant graphical feedback about the pitch of your performance over time, so you can see mistakes and make adjustments while performing. You can train to sing and play more accurately in tune and immediately see the improvements on screen. It also features a built-in metronome if you need it.
