bitflipper Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 You know how they put all that useless crap on display in the checkout line at the supermarket? They're hoping you'll make a dumb impulse buy just because you're bored waiting in line. Ooh, a flashlight that's also a keychain! I could use that. And it's only $7.99! Well, today I was using DDMF's Plugin Doctor when it popped up with a notice that an update was available. So I popped over to their site and found myself at their own impulse-buy rack. I saw a product called ChordDetector. Ooh, that could be handy. And it's only $15! The idea is that you play a wav or mp3 and it shows you the chord progression. Sounds reasonable. I mean, Melodyne can do that, right? A potential timesaver at band practice. Problem is, this thing just flat doesn't work. I gave it simpler stuff to analyze, such as an unaffected acoustic guitar file. It made no difference. C | Bbm | E | Bbmaj7 | C#m | Gm just ain't a thing. Not in my universe, anyway. And that was my own composition, so I knew the chord progression was Em | G | D. I feel like I just got home from the supermarket, proud owner of a flashlight that's also a keychain. One that doesn't light up and won't hold keys. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Sorice Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Send me the WAV or MP3. I'll analyze it with Moises and send you the chords - and only charge $7.50 (half price!). Sorry, but no flashlight :^) But seriously folks - I've had good success with Moises (moises.ai). Pretty nifty. No affiliation - I just like it. I'm sure there are others - please chime in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutrageProductions Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 @Sheens; I believe all you posted are for MIDI detection. The OP was referring to audio chord detection, which is much more difficult. I've found that Scaler does a reasonable job on single instruments but chokes on a complex sample. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) @bitflipper I'd be interested in seeing how Studio One's Chord Detection does on your composition. Edited May 9, 2023 by Bapu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it on an original song. While it might need to compare it to X-Trax, the bass was really phasey and muffled sounding, but the drums were nearly spot on, and the vocals were pretty darn good too. I think the chords may be right, I'll need to verify. Edited May 9, 2023 by Bapu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Sorice Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I think Moises is pretty good for what it does at the price point. Would love to hear from others who've found similar/better solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
