Trumpet-only or multi-instrument track? Choose the right option during import

Discover how to get the best transcription based on the type of your audio file.

When uploading a file to TrumpetConvert, you can now choose between two types of audio content:

• A solo trumpet track, containing only the trumpet (recommended)

• A multi-instrument track, which includes a trumpet along with other instruments

If you choose the multi-instrument option, TrumpetConvert will automatically isolate the trumpet part using a high-quality instrument separation system, then transcribe only the trumpet notes into sheet music (PDF, MIDI, MusicXML). This ensures that all other instruments in the mix are ignored, so you get clean and focused trumpet sheet music.

1. 🎺 Solo trumpet track

Select this option if your audio contains only trumpet, with no vocals or other instruments.

This is the ideal choice to obtain a high-quality transcription. Your file will be processed and transformed into sheet music available in PDF, MIDI, and MusicXML formats.

Recommended examples:

• Classical or jazz solo trumpet performances

• Trumpet-only melodies or covers

• Any audio with a clear, isolated trumpet sound

Tip: Avoid using recordings with background noise, poor audio quality, or spoken instructions over the music.

2. 🎼 Multi-instrument track (including trumpet)

Select this option if your audio includes several instruments, but you’re only interested in transcribing the trumpet part.

In this case, TrumpetConvert will isolate and extract only the trumpet notes, ignoring all other instruments in the track. The resulting files will contain the trumpet part only, in PDF, MIDI, and MusicXML formats.

Recommended examples:

• Pop, jazz, or funk songs with trumpet and vocals

• Orchestral or big band arrangements with trumpet

• Multi-instrument recordings that feature trumpet solos or melodies

What should I choose?

Type of track	Select this option
Solo trumpet recording	✅ Solo trumpet
Pop song with trumpet and vocals	✅ Multi-instrument
Jazz trio (trumpet, piano, bass)	✅ Multi-instrument
Trumpet tutorial with spoken instructions	❌ Not recommended
Electronic track with layered instruments	✅ Multi-instrument

How it works

When you upload your audio (MP3, WAV) or paste a YouTube link, you’ll be asked to choose between “Solo Trumpet” or “Multi-instrument with Trumpet”.

Select the option that best matches your track, and we’ll take care of the rest.
