SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding software to identify musical notes and their registers from .wav files, specifically for Linux users. Recommended tools include various mobile tuner apps such as Pano Tuner and Tone Analyzer, as well as the desktop application Audacity, which offers pitch detection features. Users are advised that while Audacity may require technical effort to set up for this purpose, it remains a viable option. Online music-to-note services are also suggested as an alternative for those seeking simpler solutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of .wav audio file format
  • Familiarity with pitch detection concepts
  • Basic knowledge of using Audacity for audio analysis
  • Experience with mobile applications for music tuning
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use Audacity for pitch and note detection
  • Explore mobile tuner apps like Pano Tuner and Tone Analyzer
  • Investigate online music-to-note conversion services
  • Learn about audio filtering techniques for better note analysis
USEFUL FOR

Musicians, audio engineers, and sound designers looking to analyze musical notes from audio files, particularly those using Linux systems.

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:👍
