They instantly give you list of what the chords probably are, then you can figure out where they got it wrong. However, I think these programs can do two things: First they can get you in the ballpark quickly when starting to figure out chords for a tune. I tried it and at first blush I think it works better than with Sonic Visualizer, although I have yet to experiment with them both extensively.īTW, I agree with those who say there is great value in figuring out chords by ear and also these programs are not perfect by any means. FYI, I read on Vamp website that Chordino also works with Audacity. I deleted everything and started all over, exactly as you said to, and it worked.

Now the big question is why very very smart people who can write this software can't make the unzipping process do that, or the boffins writing the main program can't get it to drill down a layer and find it? I couldn't, but then I couldn't even think of the programme idea in the first place so that doesn't count. That way the Sonic Visualiser programme sees them when it goes to the Vamp Plugins folder, where it would miss them if they were still in the folders they were unzipped to. Then open each unzipped folder within the Vamp Plugins folder and drag out the files of type Security Catalog DLL N3 and TGZ so they sit alongside their folders within the Vamp Plugins folder Sonic Visualiser will have made its own folder but you'll need to create a Vamp Plugins folder manually in Program Files and unzip any plugins and nnls-chroma files to there Then you need to unzip them to Program Files. You'll have downloaded the zipped files to "Downloads" or somewhere equivalent. I'll mull it over a bit as it was one of those 'Doh!' "why didn't they stick that bit in neon lights?" moments when I found it. and I've completely forgotten what I did. Last edited by CeeCee_C Sep-02-2012 at 10:56am. I've included a screen shot, but the relevant help item can be accessed from. Right after I sent out this message, I determined that a list of chords and time points within song can be produced using the Data Editor window. There are other (commercial) products out there and I may try them, but since this took zero $ and very little time to get to where I am now, I think it's worth climbing a little higher up the learning curve before trying anything else. I've not yet figured out if there's a way to generate a list of chords in a more concise format, but I'm working on it and will let you know when/if I succeed. The chords are displayed at the top of the frequency spectrum. This software isn't perfect, but I've tried it on a number of songs that had been frustrating me and was pleasantly surprised by the usability of the results. So apparently, an audio file has to be loaded in order for the plug-ins accessed from the "Transform" pull-down menu to be enabled. On a hunch, I loaded an mp3 file, tried again, and it worked. I was initially frustrated that Sonic Visualizer appeared not to recognize the plug-ins. Do not leave them in the folders that were zipped or they may not be recognized.Ģ. Download the plug-ins in their zip-file packaging and move the files to that directory. Create folder C:\Program Files\Vamp Plugins. The primary advantage to using these products is that they are gnu/free software foundation supported, which, as the name implies, means that they are free to non-commercial users (I may be wrong about the exact terms under which use is free).ġ. The primary product is sonic visualiser, used with its (vamp) plug-in chordino and I have come across what I believe is a very useful aid to identifying chords in recorded music.
