Your First Transcription

Learn how to generate your first AI drum beatmap.

Step 1: Upload a Song

  1. Click Upload Song from the home page
  2. Select an audio file (MP3, WAV, or FLAC)
  3. Enter the song title and artist (optional but recommended)

Supported Formats

  • MP3 - Most common, works great

  • FLAC - Lossless compressed

File Size Limits

  • Free tier: 15 MB per file
  • Premium: 50 MB per file

Step 2: Wait for Processing

Our AI pipeline processes your song through several stages:

  1. Audio Analysis - Detecting tempo, time signature
  2. Stem Separation - Isolating the drum track
  3. Transcription - Converting audio to MIDI events
  4. Post-processing - Cleaning up and quantizing

This typically takes 2-5 minutes depending on song length and queue.

Step 3: Review Results

Once complete, you'll see:

  • Accuracy Score - How confident the AI is
  • Detected Tempo - BPM and time signature
  • Instrument Breakdown - Kick, snare, hi-hat, etc.

Tips for Best Results

  1. Use high-quality audio - 320kbps MP3 or lossless
