AI Thread Summary
For identifying musical notes and their registers from .wav files, several software options are available, particularly for Linux users. Audacity is mentioned as a potential tool with pitch and note detection features, although it may require some technical effort to set up effectively. Additionally, various mobile apps and online services can assist with note detection, including popular tuners available on platforms like iOS and Android. While some of these options are free, users are encouraged to explore multiple solutions to find the best fit for their needs.

Hello everybody,
I have .wav musical files that reproduce the sound of certain notes. I am looking for a software that is able to determine the note and its register. Can any of you be able to recommend one, possibly free and for Linux?

Thank you very much!

In addition to what others have mentioned I seem to remember Audacity having several analysis tools and analysis plugins that had pitch/note detection on their "feature list", see for example this thread on the topic. I have never used Audacity for this purpose so I don't know if it has become easier since, but it will likely take some effort to get this approach working for your specific sound files so I wouldn't recommend you try this unless all else fails or you like tinkering with the all the juicy technical filtering details.

Another approach could be to try one of the many online music-to-note services (which I have never tried).
 
Thank you very much!:smile:👍

I came across a Buddy Holly cover by Eva Cassidy only to find out that the Buddy Holly song was already a Paul Anka cover. Anyway, both artists who had covered the song have passed far too early in their lives. That gave me the...

Thread 'Why is the plural for moose not meese?'

The piece came-up from the "Lame Jokes" section of the forum. Someobody carried a step from one of the posts and I became curious and tried a brief web search. A web page gives some justification of sorts why we can use goose(s)-geese(p), but not moose(s)-meese(p). Look for the part of the page headed with "Why isn't "meese" the correct plural?" https://languagetool.org/insights/post/plural-of-moose/
