Creatune Audio to Sheet Music turns recordings into staff notation, numbered notation and editable MusicXML. The web tool concentrates on a recording’s main melody, chord movement and timed lyric data, rather than attempting a complete orchestral score. Each conversion uses 50 credits and returns a staff PDF, numbered PDF, MusicXML, lyric timing JSON and a ZIP bundle. MP3 and M4A are supported; the FAQ specifies MP3 files from 10 seconds to 10 minutes and up to 10 MB. New signups receive 15 free credits, fewer than the 50 credits required for one conversion. Pricing is listed from $14.90/mo (annual). MusicXML files can be edited in MuseScore, Dorico, Finale and other compatible notation software. Creatune says clear lead parts and steady tempo are the strongest fit, while dense mixes, expressive timing or unusual tuning may require human review. Failed tasks receive a one-time refund of the 50-credit charge and are not automatically resubmitted. The latest 20 task results link to archived files in private storage, and accessing them does not use credits again.
Who it is for
Useful for musicians who want notation and lyric timing from recordings, especially clear lead parts with steady tempo. It may also suit users who want to continue editing MusicXML in compatible notation software.
