Violin-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 ViolinConvert, you can now choose between two types of audio content:

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

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

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

1. 🎻 Solo violin track

Select this option if your audio contains only violin, 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 solo violin performances

• Violin-only covers

• Any audio with clear, isolated violin sound and nothing else

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

2. 🎼 Multi-instrument track (including violin)

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

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

Recommended examples:

• Pop songs with vocals and violin

• Orchestral or band arrangements with violin

• Chamber music or multi-instrument recordings that include a violin

What should I choose?

Type of track	Select this option
Solo violin recording	✅ Solo violin
Pop song with violin and vocals	✅ Multi-instrument
Chamber music (violin, piano, cello)	✅ Multi-instrument
Violin 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 Violin” or “Multi-instrument with Violin”.

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