Using AI for piano transcriptions

MessageAuthor

This is surely not the obvious forum to be asking this. There are lots of forums for AI, for music and for piano. But I thought I'd give it a try here because I use Reaper. I'm a newbie using DAWs and a very amateur piano player, trying to learn piano without a teacher. I am using Reaper on a Mac. I also use Linux Mint and Windows. Let's say I hear a song with a nice piano part in it. I find it on youtube (I also have youtube music). I paste the youtube link to the song into a youtube-to-mp3 site and it generates an mp3. I download that. I then drag the mp3 into Audacity. This process has to be done in Windows because the latest version of the Windows Audacity allows the OpenVino plugin that does some amazing AI filtering. AFAIK the OpenVINO AI plugin is for windows only, not available in OSX or Linux. In Audacity I run the OpenVINO Music Separation effect and it creates separate tracks of vocals, drums and other instruments in to separate tracks. Now I have a very clear piano track. I export that to file and take that file on to a thumb drive to take it to my mac and can either open it on the Mac in Audacity, or I can bring it into Reaper where I can find a keyboard VSTi that works. It would be nice if there was some app or plug-in that could transcribe that to sheet music. I can see how getting the time signature and actual position of the notes and chords correct would be even harder than identifying the notes. Mostly I want to just see the notes on a staff and I can figure out the timing. Anybody have an ideas that can simplify my work flow so I don't need Windows and the Mac? I guess I could just use the Windows laptop to run Reaper but I like the mac's big screen and it's a little newer than the Windows/Asus laptop. That would avoid the thumbdrive, but I'm wondering what tools are out there for transcription - that might be free. This is not something I'll be doing every day so I don't want to buy a monthly service or an expensive plugin.

For seperating stems you can use free online AI like: Audio to midi conversion - You can use NeuralNote: - Or via de ReaTune method: You can then use the music notation view in the midi editor. Or export the MIDI and use it in an external music notation program

I'm glad that the information was of some use to you. I only work with Windows, so I don't know anything about the vst locations and the like under Linux and Mac. Initially, as I mentioned, you can use the staff /notation view in Reaper's midi editor. I admit, this is not the most refined representation of the notes, but it may be sufficient to gain insight. Otherwise you could try another (free) music notation program. Hopefully you will find a good alternative for your Windows workflow for Mac /Linux...
