ScoreCloud is a concept where both ScoreCloud Studio, ScoreCloud Songwriter and ScoreCloud Express rely on cloud services for analysis and storage. We also think it’s important that everyone uses the latest version of ScoreCloud, so that we can ensure the quality of the musical results.

This is why we have chosen the subscription model! Anyone should be able to use the latest ScoreCloud Studio version for free, but if you use it a lot, upgrading to PLUS could be worth a few bucks. If you are a professional in need of advanced features like MusicXML or local saving, you might want to go PRO.

ScoreCloud Studio is a desktop software for Windows and Mac OSX that creates musical notation from what you play. Just connect your MIDI keyboard and start playing.

ScoreCloud Studio is available for PC and Mac and will work with most modern systems.

Recommended for Mac OS X:

Mac OS X 10.8 or later
Minimum 2 GB RAM

For MIDI input, any MIDI device compatible with your system.

Recommended for Windows

Windows 7 or later
Minimum 2 GB RAM

For MIDI input, any MIDI device compatible with your system.

There are many potential reasons for this, and it might need some investigation.

When this happens it would be really helpful if you could hold the alt and shift-keys (⌥ and ⇧) while clicking on the ScoreCloud icon to start the software, and keep holding the alt and shift-keys until you get a small window with three options:
• Send Logs
• Audio Test
• Debug Mode

Please click on ‘Audio Test’, and let us know what it gave (take a screenshot). Please also click on ‘Send Logs’ after you have run the audio test.

Now send a screen shot of the audio test, and describe your audio issue in as much detail as possible in the contact form above.

Yes, you probably can! In many cases you can use the advanced editing in ScoreCloud Studio to “save” the score, but how you play can also help the analysis to create the score that you want.

Look at the General tips for best possible results from the ScoreCloud analysis, and watch the video to learn more:

ScoreCloud Studio includes the new possibility of creating sheet music from analysed live playing of polyphonic instruments using your computer microphone. However, this feature requires plus or pro subscription, and importing audio files requires a pro subscription.

See https://scorecloud.com/plans-comparison-chart/

Very short answer:
Maybe!

Quite short answer:
With a pro subscription the import audio file feature is also unlocked, however, mainly audio files (wav, aiff, aif, mp3) of single instruments can be analysed into sheet music, for example a recording of a single piano. Even after analysis, such imports might need a couple of actions for them to be usable.

Produced pop songs, recordings with drums or symphony orchestras will not generate a satisfactory analysis.

Analysis of longer recordings is still quite slow (≈1,5 the length of the recording), but we are working hard to improve this!

Compare the features in our Plans Comparison Chart.
Here is an example of how you can use the instrument audio analysis.

NOTE:
To publish copyrighted material on your My ScoreCloud page or anywhere else, you need permission from the owner of the material. ScoreCloud will remove any material not permitted upon its exposure.

Yes, you can, however, depending on the nature of the isolated track the analysis might be good or less good. This is manly related to if the track ”makes musical sense” on it’s own, or if it needs the surrounding music to be understood.

NOTE:
To publish copyrighted material on your My ScoreCloud page or anywhere else, you need permission from the owner of the material. ScoreCloud will remove any material not permitted upon its exposure.

Unfortunately guitar tablature is not available in ScoreCloud yet, but we are hoping to be able to implement it in the future.

Yes, it is possible to write music manually in ScoreCloud by using the Manual input tool!

Watch this video to learn how to use it:

This problem applies to all software that uses performance MIDI input, meaning that even if you have been performing perfectly with regards to timing the system latency may give the analysis improper information.

What you can do to reduce the problem:

• Make sure you don’t have to many RAM consuming programs (e.g. audio or video editing software) open while running ScoreCloud Studio
• Avoid playing very short successive notes
• Try using an external soundcard or to use the sound output if your keyboard has got one
• Try using your keyboard’s built-in sound output if your keyboard has got one

Yes, it can!

If you are using MIDI input ScoreCloud analyzes what you are playing and creates a score with separate voices.

However, you might want to edit ScoreClouds Voice separation. Learn how by watching this video:

Yes! The “Auto Chords” feature under the “Magic Wand” toolbar button can automatically generate chords for your score.

To add chord symbols manually, use the Add Chords button in the toolbar.

To get notated chords, add them by playing with the overdub tool, or by manually writing the notes.

Chord symbols can be converted to notated chords using the  “Convert to voices” feature in the actions menu when a chord symbol is selected.

Watch this video to see Auto Chords in action:

Yes it is! These are the export options in ScoreCloud Studio:

• “Export –> Export Current Snippet” – creates a midi-file of your original recording in the listener, your complete performance including tempo shifts etc. Makes it possible to open in e.g. Garageband.
• “Export –> Save All Snippets” – creates a folder with all your original recordings in the listener (MIDI-files)
• “Export –> Song As MIDI” – creates a MIDI file of the playback version of the notated music, in other word a MIDI-file of what you hear when you press play in the song window, without your performance and tempo changes. Makes it possible to open in e.g. Garageband.
• “Export –> Song As Music XML” – creates a Music XML file of the notated music which makes it possible to open it in another notation software.

To get your score as PDF you need to use the print command. On Mac OSX a “print to PDF” option is built in to the system, but on Windows you need to install a third party software to act as a “PDF printer”, such as PDF Creator, Bullzip PDF Printer or Adobe Acrobat Pro.

You might have come across undiscovered issues, and we would of course like to take a good look at it. Please contact support@scorecloud.com.

If possible, attach any related musical examples.

If you can, please also attach the program log file “ScoreCloud.log”, that is found in”%appdata%/ScoreCloud” on Windows, or “Library -> ScoreCloud” on Mac OSX.

Basic setup

Go to the ScoreCloud Preferences and click the Audio/MIDI tab

• Set Audio input to System Default, or a specific connected microphone/soundcard, “Windows Wasapi Microphone”, or a “built in microphone”.
• Set Audio Output to “System Default”, or any speakers you prefer (make sure the volume is turned up on any external speakers, including screens or projectors with built in speakers)
• Set MIDI Input to ”All” to make ScoreCloud listen to all attached MIDI devices. If you don’t want it to listen to all devices, you can select a specific device.
• Set MIDI Playback to “Audio Output” (unless you have a separate sound card you would rather use).
• Set MIDI Echo to “Same as Playback” (This allows you to decide if you want to hear your playing through the computer, or from a midi keyboard with integrated speakers).

If you are not hearing any sound, go to ScoreCloud Preferences -> Audio/MIDI tab -> Advanced button and try clicking “Restart Audio and MIDI”

If you are still not hearing any sound, try restarting the program.

Problems after setup

If you have tried all steps above and you are getting an error message, check these steps:

If the error message is regarding “sample rate” please read the separate FAQ question about this below.

If the error message is concerns recording with a MIDI instruments:

• Does your MIDI device show up in the list of input or output devices in the Audio/MIDI preferences?
• Is the MIDI device connected properly, does it work in other software?
• Does the MIDI device need specific drivers downloaded and installed? Some older keyboards might.
• Do you get noise when playing back music?

If you problem is not solved, send us a bug report using “Report a bug” on the Help menu (PC) / ScoreCloud menu (mac). In the comment section, describe your problem, including the exact information on any error message.

You can also email support@scorecloud.com and attach a screenshot of any error message and a detailed description of the problem.

You probably get this error either because you have no active playback or recording device, or your system playback and recording sample rate settings do not match. You can solve this quite easily by following these steps:

On Mac OS X

• Open the Audio MIDI Setup utility application (found in Application/Utilities)
• Open the Audio Window, if it is not already open, from the Window menu
• In the device list to the left, select your microphone
• Choose a sample rate for the microphone in the “Format” box to the right (e.g. 44100,0 Hz)
• Now select your output device in the device list
• Choose the same sample rate for this device

Restart ScoreCloud, and you should now see the correct input and output devices in the ScoreCloud Preferences.

Turn off noise reduction. Many computers have automatic “noise reduction” or “signal enhancements”, this is a problem for the ScoreCloud audio analysis. Turn it off by going to your microphone settings, this can improve the results greatly!

Playing or singing clearly and organically generally gives better results. ScoreCloud Studio does not know any songs – it attempts to analyze the musical structure like someone who never heard the song or musical style before. 

ScoreCloud Studio does not know what your foot is tapping! If you play or sing something that really needs accompaniment you will probably get an unexpected score, unless you record with a click-track (available for MIDI-recording, for audio recording this is not available, please use the ’Tap Beat’ feature). Keeping a steady pulse helps. 

Singing with da-de-dum etc. is easier for ScoreCloud to understand than lyrics. You generally get better results from singing if you sing without lyrics since there can be unclear note onsets (the start of a note) in vocal performance with lyrics. Give the starts of notes with hard consonants, for example ”da-de-dum”

Sing or play fast songs a little slower and leave out ornamentation or ‘wailing’. Short notes are generally not so clear in intonation and can be difficult to separate from slides and noise.

Experiment with the placement of the microphone and listen to your sound. You generally get better results if you do not sing, whistle or play very loud close to the microphone or too soft far from the microphone, but it depends also on the background noise and the reverberation in the room.

If you want the a notation be rhythmically simple, try not to cut-off or prolong phrase endings too much; let the beat continue and keep the duration of the notes. Also, a mistake in the middle of a song can give consequences for the remaining song, so it’s faster recording only the verse well, and then recording the chorus in the same way and merging them afterwards. Also, check out the video tutorials Edit Rhythm  and Edit Rhythm 2 – Drag Barlines.

Make a long enough recording! Since ScoreCloud does not know what song you are singing it needs more than just a few notes, measures or phrases to give you a good notation. Try and sing a little longer than just a few seconds.

Be clear and firm when pressing the keys of your piano or midi-keyboard. ScoreCloud analyses velocity (how “hard” you press a key) as well, and this is the same for both audio and midi recording. Since midi keyboards often don’t deliver very detailed information on velocity being clear improves the analysis.

For a demonstration of the tips on the audio input in ScoreCloud Studio, look at the General tips for best possible results from the ScoreCloud audio analysis under ScoreCloud Express!

Check out the video tutorials to learn more about how to change the analysis results.

Note: Make sure that you know the folder location of your saved ScoreCleaner song files (.scld), they will work in ScoreCloud as well!

1. Uninstall ScoreCleaner

• Open Programs and Features by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Programs and Features.
• Select ScoreCleaner in the list, and then click Uninstall.
  If you’re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2. Install ScoreCloud

• Download the installer from https://scorecloud.com/download/
• Open the installer and follow the instructions

3. Launch ScoreCloud and open your song files in the new program!

If you are using ScoreCloud version 4.1 or older on MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion, the automatic updater inside the program will not work. Please go to scorecloud.com/download to download the new version manually. After updating manually, the automiatic updater will start working again.

ScoreCloud Songwriter takes recordings of voice and instruments and turns it into Lead Sheets, with melody, lyrics and chords.

Originally made for singer-songwriters, but we have seen it used by guitarists to get chords from mp3s, teachers making sheets for class, vocalists creating piano sheets for auditions and much more.

You can try ScoreCloud Songwriter for free. First you can run 3 songs for free, and after that you get a 10 day free trial when upgrading to the SONGWRITER plan, that you can cancel anytime, even before the first payment.

Check out our Quick-start Guide to learn the basics of the program!

We also have additional tutorial videos here.

Don’t hesitate to email us if you have any further questions about ScoreCloud Songwriter.

There are many potential reasons for this, and it might need some investigation.

Start by checking that the program has permission to use the microphone. 

• On Windows, go to Start > Settings > Privacy > Microphone 
• On Mac, go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Microphone 

Check for “ScoreCloud”, “ScoreCloud Songwriter” or “Gaudiamus” (our custom audio engine) and make sure they are allowed to use the microphone.

If you still are having problems, start the program and use the “Report bug…” option from the Help menu. This will send a support request including program logs to our support team.

You can also send us an email to support@scorecloud.com and we will help you from there!

ScoreCloud Songwriter was created for acoustic instruments and vocals, but it can also work for larger bands. The program separates vocals from instruments and notates vocal melody and chords. It cannot notate different instruments into separate voices just yet.

Listen to your recording by selecting only the Melody Recording and Accompaniment recording under the Sheet tab.

General tips for getting a good result:

• Use a recording with a single vocalist and a clear accompaniment
• Use an external microphone, even the cheapest ones produce much better results than built-in laptop mics
• If you are importing produced tracks, look for an acoustic cover

Often, results that initially looks strange can be quite easy to fix. Check out our Quick-start Guide to learn basic editing in the program!

Yes! Just click the import buttons in the recording dialog to choose a file from your hard-drive or paste a YouTube link to a song.

You can crop your imports to get a shorter part of the recording, or to cut out any talking or sound effects. Noise in the beginning of a recording can really confuse the program.

ScoreCloud Songwriter cannot produce guitar tabulature (tabs). 

We recommend exporting your automatic sheets from ScoreCloud Songwriter as MusicXML and importing it into your guitar tabs program of choice.

ScoreCloud Songwriter can display guitar fingerboard diagrams, just enable “Guitar Diagrams” in the Sheet tab.

You might have come across undiscovered issues, and we would of course like to take a good look at it. Use the “Report bug…” option from the Help menu. This will send a support request including program logs to our support team.

You can also send us an email to support@scorecloud.com and we will help you from there!

ScoreCloud Express is a mobile app for iPhone. There is also a HD version for iPad.

With ScoreCloud Express you can play, sing or whistle any monophonic melody (no chords, one note at a time) and instantly turn it into music notation. Use the tools for basic editing of your score directly on your phone.

So far the mobile app is only availiable for iPhone and iPad. We have understood that there is a big demand for ScoreCloud Express on other systems and we are very happy for that. We are bringing ScoreCloud to the most requested platforms, but the release dates are not yet official.

Sign up for our mailing list, or follow us on facebook or twitter to get info on upcoming releases!

Yes, ScoreCloud Express HD. This is a HD port of the iPhone app. We are working on a more featured version for iPad, but the release date is not yet official.

This means that the ScoreCloud analysis handles one note at a time. For example melodies and bass lines work, while chords, multiple voices and songs with accompaniment do not.

This also means that you can get unpredictable results from extensive use of sustain pedal, big rooms with lots of reverb (bathrooms, concert halls etc), instruments with a lot of resonance and sustain (e.g. steel guitar, harp, koto, sitar, viola d’amore, hardingfela, nyckelharpa).

Look at the General tips for best possible results from the ScoreCloud audio analysis.

Any instrument works as long as the music is monophonic, meaning one note at a time. For example melodies and bass lines work, while chords, multiple voices and songs with accompaniment do not.

This also means that you can get unpredictable results from extensive use of sustain pedal, big rooms with lots of reverb (bathrooms, concert halls etc), instruments with a lot of resonance and sustain (e.g. steel guitar, harp, koto, sitar, viola d’amore, hardingfela, nyckelharpa).

Also experiment with microphone placement if you have issues with your instrument. Placing it too close to the guitar body or on top of a piano can produce resonance problems.

Yes, you probably can! You can edit the score in the app or in the ScoreCloud Studio desktop program, but the way you sing or play can also help the analysis to create the score that you want.

Look at the General tips for best possible results from the ScoreCloud audio analysis.

Yes, it is possible to do basic editing in the app. You can edit Pitch, Note values, Key- and Time Signature, Pickup, Clef, Timing (move bar lines to reanalyze local timing errors), Tempo and Title.

Further editing, such as toggling your arrangement with new parts, adding chords, articulations and more can be done with ScoreCloud Studio for Mac OSX and Windows. To do this you synchronize the iPhone app to the desktop software via your ScoreCloud account.

The limit is 3 minutes, but we recommend that you try to keep it shorter than that, for best possible result.

On the other hand, since ScoreCloud does not know what song you are singing, it needs more than just a few notes to give you a good notation. You can for example sing your idea twice with a steady pulse.

Look at the General tips for best possible results from the ScoreCloud audio analysis.

Analyses can unfortunately sometimes crash due to:

• Background noise and extra-musical sounds that interfere with your recording
• Problems with the internet connection, which can interrupt the transmission of the sound to the cloud.

Remember that even talking or traffic noise is recorded and analyzed. If you use an iPad, try positioning the microphone closer to the sound.

If you experience this problem even though your internet connection is good, please contact support@scorecloud.com

This should only happen when the recording is actually empty. Please make sure that ScoreCloud has access to your microphone (see below). This option is given when launching ScoreCloud Express for the first time. Also, make sure that the microphone is actually working (rebooting your phone might solve any temporary problems).

• Sing or play one note at a time – ScoreCloud Express does not know any songs – it attempts to analyze the musical structure like someone who never heard the song or musical style before. Singing or playing clearly and organically generally gives better results.
• Sing or play a little longer – To get a better result, sing at least two phrases, 10 seconds or more.
• Keep a steady tempo – ScoreCloud Express does not know what your foot is tapping. If you play or sing something that really needs accompaniment you will probably get an unexpected score. Keeping a steady pulse helps.
• Hum or sing without lyrics – Singing with Da-da etc. is easier for ScoreCloud Express to understand than lyrics. You generally get better results from singing if you sing without lyrics since there can be unclear notes in vocal performance with lyrics.
• Leave out ornaments and wailing – Sing or play fast songs a little slower and leave out ornamentation or ‘wailing’. Short notes are generally not so clear in intonation and can be difficult to separate from slides and noise.
• Try another position – Experiment with the placement of the microphone/device and listen to your sound.
