Avid AudioScore Ultimate

Avid AudioScore Ultimate 8 - Full Version | Professional Audio Transcription & Music Scanning Software

Avid AudioScore Ultimate 8 is the industry's leading audio transcription software and the fully featured upgrade to the AudioScore Lite included with Avid Sibelius Ultimate. Regarded as the ultimate compositional secret weapon within the Sibelius workflow, it can quickly and accurately transform CD tracks, MP3 files, MIDI files, and even your own vocal and instrument performances via microphone into detailed musical notation.

With a completely redesigned audio recognition engine, AudioScore Ultimate 8 offers higher musical precision and detail capture than ever before. It effectively identifies multiple overlapping notes, significantly minimizes interference caused by drum and percussion sounds, and features superior pitch recognition and note separation technology. For composers, arrangers, and music educators who need to convert recording materials into editable scores, this is an indispensable professional tool.

Beyond powerful transcription capabilities, AudioScore Ultimate allows users to view, play back, and edit extremely subtle nuances in a performance, such as slight changes in pitch, volume, and timing. Once transcription is complete, you can send the work directly to Avid Sibelius for layout, or save it as MusicXML, NIFF, and MIDI files for use in other mainstream music programs, realizing a true cross-platform music production workflow.

Core Advantages & Application Scenarios

Ultimate Precision Audio Recognition Engine
AudioScore Ultimate 8 employs a re-architected recognition engine that significantly improves the ability to identify overlapping notes. It effectively filters and minimizes interference from percussion instruments, providing cleaner pitch detection and note separation to ensure the transcribed score remains faithful to the original recording.

Comprehensive Audio Source Support
Whether it is physical CD tracks, digital MP3 files, or real-time instrument and vocal performances, the software handles them with ease. Its intelligent technology can convert up to 16 instruments or notes at a time and layer them onto multiple staves, with each staff supporting up to 4 voices.

Detailed Performance Editing
More than just generating notes, AudioScore Ultimate allows you to deeply inspect and edit the nuances of a performance. You can adjust pitch, volume (velocity), and timing, or even use your chosen MIDI instrument to create a new version of the music, playing back the details of the original music with high realism.

Intuitive Manual Creation Mode
The software offers a unique mode that "serves" you a set of notes, allowing you to quickly split, join, resize, and adjust pitch on a purely performance level. During this process, you don't need to worry about tedious music theory technical details like key signatures, accidentals, dotted notes, or ties, making the creative process smoother.

Seamless Sibelius Workflow Integration
As the best partner for Sibelius, AudioScore Ultimate automatically detects all instrument configurations and creates labeled staves. You can play back selected notes with high-quality audio, save scores as PDFs for printing, or link directly with Sibelius 8 (and higher versions) to achieve a one-stop production from recording to publication-grade sheet music.
