Drop in any song and start transcribing in seconds. Isolate the piano from a dense mix, slow it down without the mud, see the chords spelled the way musicians spell them, and get a lead sheet with one keystroke. Then play along — and see exactly which notes you rushed, which accents you missed, and how your groove really sits.
One-time price · 14-day full-featured trial · Built native for Apple Silicon (M1 or newer, macOS 13+) · Everything on-device
Built by a working musician, for working musicians. Every feature answers a real practice pain.
Play along with the record. The app shows every note early, late, or wrong — plus accents, ghost notes, and feel. The greatest players know exactly how they sound; now you do too.
Chords, form, melody, and lyrics — as an editable chart that's honest by design: low-confidence content is visibly ghosted, and every bar is auditable by ear. Never a chart that lies.
No DAW boot ritual, no session files, no importing dance. Open the app, drop the song, start working — even straight from Voice Memos: record a jam session at Smalls on your phone, drop the memo in, and study it as soon as you get home. Your whole repertoire lives in one list.
Vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and everything-else — then split the drums six ways: kick, snare, toms, hi-hats, ride, and crash. All on your Mac, paired with slowdown that stays clear instead of turning to mush.
Hit loop and get a perfect bar — boundaries locked to the recording's real grid, even when the tempo breathes. No more nudging loop points by hand until 2 AM.
The easiest way to collect and organize drum one-shots from songs: select a hit on the isolated drum stem, right-click, chop — it lands named and sorted in your samples folder.
Your music never leaves your Mac. Pay once, use it forever, with free point updates. Works fully offline.
Any audio file. Stems, tempo, key, and structure are analyzed on your Mac.
Isolate parts, loop a bar, slow it down, read the chords — spelled the way musicians actually spell them.
Record yourself over the track and see your timing, accuracy, and feel measured against the record.
Secure checkout & licensing by Polar. Instant license key by email.
A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) running macOS 13 or later. Transcription Pro is built native for Apple Silicon — that's what lets stem separation and analysis run entirely on your machine, with nothing uploaded anywhere.
The app includes a 14-day full-featured trial — open it and everything works, no account, no credit card. When you buy, your license key arrives by email; paste it into the app and you're done. (Public trial download is coming with the wide launch.)
No. Analysis, separation, and playback all happen on your Mac. The app works fully offline; a network connection is only used for optional extras (like checking a chart against web sources) and license activation.
Your license activates on up to 3 Macs. You can deactivate a machine any time to free a slot.
If it's not for you, write within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund you — the 14-day trial means you'll rarely need to.
