Music Note/ Piano Chord recognizer program?

Q. Are there or is there any sort of music/ computer program that could recognize the music notes and/or chords being played in a song? Is there a program that would recognize the notes and chords being played in any song and display them in piano format? For example: If I were to play an mp3 of a song (Ex: Happiness Is A Warm Gun by The Beatles), the program would analyze it and display what chords and notes are being played (The program would then display the piano chords and notes used. Am9, Am6 etc.)

I basically want to play an mp3 and have the program be able to tell me which notes and chords are being played so that I can play them later on my piano. (I like a lot of music that is a bit underground so there isn't any sheet music or chords available for the song and there isnât a demand for them to be transposed, therefore, Iâd like a program that can do it for me)

I know there are programs like Vanbasco that recognize, display, transpose and convert notes and chords of Midi files, but is there a program that works like that that can recognize a song (any song) in its original composition?

Thanks in advance! Best Wishes!

A. There are currently no programs will isolate and notate music from any other format than MIDI. People who tell you that they can remove vocals from a mp3 or WAV or any other format, are lying - you are left with an incomprehensible mess. I work in digital classical music, and my son - who was taught by me earlier in his career - is now finishing a MM degree in Digital Music, and he manages an electronic music lab for a portion of his employment as a HS music theory and vocal music teacher. If the software of which you speak existed, we would know - and I would be using it daily, since I have a specific professional need for this. Meanwhile, as Switch said, I will have just to use my good ear-training skills and notate what I *hear*. Can you write down the words that people say or sing? Well, good musicians can write down the notation of the music - it is what we are educated to do.

Added - wow - lotsa typos, mainly due to AutoFill. Gotta shut that off!

Original Question

What is this song? Piano chords provided?
Q. http://www.codehook.com/music/samples/PianoChords.wav - I think it's an 80's dance song but I don't know what it is. I've heard it numerous times and I'd probably know what it was if I heard the lyrics but I heard the intro to it today in a Billie Jean mash-up mix (which is what I'm essentially trying to find by asking this question) and can't remember the rest of the song or what it is. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
I don't have the link to the mash up, I'm trying to find out what this song is so that I can find the mash up. The chords I've used on that link aren't exact but close enough for someone who really knows the original tune to realise what it is.
If this helps find the mash up or identify the original song at all...it was played on Kiss FM today (at around 4:15pm) by Jez Welham

A. Can you post the link to the mash up? The code sounds a little off, like there's something missing.

Original Question

Is there a music notation software which automatically notates audio?
Q. Occaisionally, when I want to write a piece of music, I'll mess around on an instrument for long enough before I find something cool. The problem is, I usually don't remember what I played by the time I get something to write it down (I'm also not very good at transcriptions). Is there a software which will hear something which is played, and then notate it (in a sheet music format)? (I have Finale, but there doesn't appear to be a feature for this)

Please don't suggest MIDI. I don't play piano, violin, or guitar.

A. I am not sure - but haven't you asked similar questions before? There is NO hardware or software that will convert WAV to MIDI (and then it is an easy step to notation - although the result is going to need a LOT of cleaning up.) However, there are *pitch to midi* which will handle slow and discrete playing, monophonic - you can play single note-instruments, or sing (no words get notated) one note at a time, with a little separation between them. This is tedious and crude, and will not handle chords, multiple parts, etc. Once you use this, you can then open the resultant file (open MIDI) in Finale, and see what you have - as long as you stuck VERY strictly to the metronome!

What instrument are you using? If it is something like sax or trumpet, etc. this could work - although it is slooooooow. You might be better putting in whatever you can catch as a transcription, right into Finale, and then fooling around with the notation until you get what you want. And taking a good ear-training class would help - as well as some fundamental keyboard lessons; you would not have to learn how to play a Rachmaninoff etude, just *get around* on a keyboard that you plug directly into your computer. Good luck -this gets easier with more experience and more education. You certainly are to be lauded for your sticking to it!
