From recording to chord sheet in three steps

  1. Prepare a clear recording

    Use MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG and follow the limits shown in the uploader. Keep the start of the vocals and the end of the song.

  2. Choose Upload audio in the generator

    Select the file, follow the tool prompts and keep the page open while it processes.

  3. Review the result before rehearsal

    Listen for verses, choruses and key changes. Correct your version and organize it in your setlist.

What makes a recording easier to analyze

Avoid background conversation and heavy distortion. On a phone, record close enough for both the instrument and vocals to be clear. Solos, effects and overlapping parts can take more review.

A simple recording with one voice and instrument makes chord checking easier.

Questions about generating chord sheets

Can I use a phone recording?

Yes, in a supported format. Recording quality affects identification, so check passages with noise or quiet vocals.

Is uploading the same as searching for a chord sheet?

Uploading starts an analysis. Searching by name looks for an existing sheet. The generator may reuse catalog information if it identifies the same song.
