Technical Specifications & Acoustic Limitations
Digital audio transcription operates via mathematical frequency tracking and pitch extraction. Clean, monophonic solo recordings with minimal reverberation yield the clearest note boundaries, whereas dense multi-instrument mixes with percussion, distortion, or heavy room ambiance may produce harmonic masking. We recommend reviewing notes in the interactive piano roll or score editor before exporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use WAV instead of MP3 for transcription?↓
WAV files contain uncompressed PCM audio without compression artifacts, giving our pitch detection engine cleaner spectral peaks and sharper transient boundaries.
