While FluteConvert is one of the most accurate tools for automatically transcribing solo flute recordings into sheet music, it doesn’t guarantee perfect results every time. To get the best transcription possible, follow the recommendations below:

1) Transcribe only solo flute recordings

FluteConvert performs best when your audio includes only solo flute. Avoid recordings with vocals, piano, or orchestral backing, as they can interfere with the transcription process.

Examples of recommended content:

🔹 Solo classical or baroque flute performances

🔹 Studio recordings of jazz or modern solo flute

🔹 Etudes and technical exercises recorded cleanly

2) Use high-quality audio files

The better the audio quality, the more accurate the result. Avoid recordings with:

❌ Background noise or crackling

❌ Overlapping instruments or accompaniment

❌ Poor mic quality or compression artifacts

3) Avoid overly complex or virtuosic pieces

Very fast runs, extended techniques (e.g. flutter-tonguing), or dense ornamentation may reduce accuracy. For best results, choose clear, melodic, and moderately paced pieces.

4) Provide musical details before transcribing

If possible, enter some musical context before transcription:

✅ Time signature (e.g., 4/4, 3/4, 6/8)

✅ Tempo (BPM)

This helps FluteConvert organize rhythmic content and improve notation layout.
