Hi all,
What is the process of listening to music and then writing down all the notes on paper caller?
And also, this is probably almost magic, but is there a computer program that will take a Clarinet solo song with another instrument in the background (in MP3 or some other format) and import it writing out all the notes?
Thanks!

Do you want it to transcribe the other instrument as well?
With a significant amount of signal processing, you might be able to isolate some of the clarinet sound, but likely only if the other instruments are significantly quieter. It would be specific to the particular recording, thus making it currently prohibitively difficult to make a program to do this. Programs that just transcribe a single line without background noise are still quite quirky, though better than they used to be. It would take significantly less effort for you (or someone experienced in such matters) to transcribe it.

There is a program at http://www.akoff.com which comes as close as currently possible to do that.
It grabs chords with very high accuracy - the solo line is much less accurate. Very cool for jazz improv

Thanks for all the info, guys.
No, I don't want to transcribe the background instrument, just the clarinet.
I'm going to check out this program, even if it does a poor job of getting me the notes, it would still help very much.
Thank you David.

If you have it for as a MIDI file, then it's fairly easy to get it all written out.

"Historically" speaking, from personal experience...
In dictation studies, writing while someone played the piece on piano, I almost always wrote it in clarinet key rather than concert. I heard the intervals mostly okay and all that and got it fairly accurately, but I was also somehow 'transposing' it (piano played an 'A', I'd write 'B', etc). Instructor thought that was odd and I guess I did, too. I believe I overcame the problem eventually. At best, tedious process for most of us no matter how you manage it.
Anyway, George, that part of music class was call "Music Dictation". Maybe that's an old term now because I studied music theory in high school in the early '50s. But, "Transcribing" also works just as well for me

"Skill" heck, I'd call it a miracle!
I have a hard enought time making the music go from paper to sound, but going the other way back...

The best way to do this is by creating a working digital clarinet....
