About this page
AI Transcriber is a beta feature that records your guitar performance in the app, converts the recording to MIDI, and generates standard notation and TAB.
How it works
After you finish recording, the remaining steps run automatically.
- 01
Record your guitar
The app records your performance from the selected input device.
- 02
Convert the recording to MIDI
In the background, AI analyzes pitch and note timing and generates MIDI data.
- 03
Generate notation and TAB
The generated MIDI is saved to the Recorded album, loaded automatically, and displayed as a score.
Before you begin
- In Recording Audio Device under Settings, select the input device connected to your guitar
- Calibrate input latency if necessary
- Record in an environment with minimal non-guitar sound and strong reflections
Steps

Use TAB Editor to adjust string and fret positions or performance markings, then save your changes.
Main recording settings
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Tempo | Sets the tempo of your performance and the generated song. |
| Rhythm Quantize | Aligns detected note timing to a rhythmic grid such as sixteenth notes or triplets. |
| Recording Instrument | Specifies the guitar, bass, or other instrument being recorded. |
| Tuning | Sets the tuning used for the generated TAB. |
| Sensitivity | Adjusts how readily the recording is detected as notes. |
Improving transcription accuracy
- Use a strong guitar signal without clipping the input
- Reduce non-guitar sounds such as conversation, television, or metronome bleed
- Strong noise, multiple instruments, excessive distortion, or reverb may reduce accuracy
- Test a short phrase before recording a longer performance
Important
AI Transcriber is a beta feature. Results vary with the performance and recording environment, so use TAB Editor to make corrections when necessary.
