Frequently asked questions
Answers about SongTranscribe, notes, chords, AFCUT, credits, and how one recording becomes readable music.
SongTranscribe turns a recorded song into readable, editable music — melody, chords, and structure — powered by AFCUT, the shared audio intelligence layer.
A transcription is what SongTranscribe produces: melody lines, chord progressions, and note data mapped to your recording's actual timing — readable as charts, editable as notes, exportable to your DAW.
AFCUT is the audio intelligence layer underneath SongTranscribe and the wider ProduceHits suite. It turns real-world audio into the timing, structure, and stems that SongTranscribe works from.
No. SongTranscribe runs on your ProduceHits account — one login, one shared library, and one credit pool that works across every product in the suite.
Bring audio you own, created, licensed, or have the rights to process. SongTranscribe is built for real-world audio — including lossy MP3s and dense or live-feel material — not just clean demo files.
No. SongTranscribe reads the music that's already in your recording. Nothing is generated from a prompt — every note comes from your source track.
Credits are consumed as you process audio and run workflows. One ProduceHits pool funds everything you do across the suite, so SongTranscribe and every other workflow draw from the same balance.
Yes. A single credit pool works across SongTranscribe and every other ProduceHits product, so credits go wherever your work does.
When a song has already been processed anywhere in the suite, SongTranscribe can reuse the existing stems, timing, and analysis — so working from a track you already processed costs less and starts instantly.
SongTranscribe is part of the ProduceHits lineup rolling out through early access, alongside SongChop and the other suite tools. See the Products page for the current lineup.
More focused audio products are coming to the suite — for loops, stems, transcription, remix prep, choreography, podcasts, marketing, and more. Join early access to get notified.
Yes. Every track you process stays in your library, so the same source becomes more valuable as you reuse it and as the suite grows new products around it.
Only content you own, created, licensed, or otherwise have the rights to process. You're responsible for the rights to the audio you upload and for how you use the output.
No. ProduceHits is a creative tool, not a rights-clearance or license-clearing service. Clearing rights for your material is your responsibility.
No. Processing privately inside your account is different from publicly distributing finished material. Public sharing, storefronts, and marketing pages need rights-aware judgment.
No. ProduceHits does not sell or rent your personal information. Your data is used to operate your account, process your audio, and provide support.
