About Udio
Udio is a generative music model with a focus on long-form output and clean genre rendering. Like Suno, it produces full audio tracks from a text prompt.
Udio tends to produce smoother instrumental beds and tighter mix balance than other consumer generators, which helps source separation. Tempo stability is generally strong; chord progressions are usually diatonic but extended chord voicings are common in jazz and lo-fi prompts.
Output format: wav or mp3 download depending on tier.
About Metal on guitar
Metal extends rock into faster tempos, heavier distortion, and tighter rhythmic precision. Sub-genres range from classic NWOBHM to djent, but most share down-tuned guitars, palm-muted gallop patterns, and a heavy focus on rhythm-section lockstep.
Tempo range
140-200 BPM (with breakdowns 60-100 BPM)
Common tunings
Chord vocabulary
Power chords driving the rhythm, diminished and tritone intervals for tension, occasional clean minor-key passages.
Common techniques
Transcribing Udio metal
Down-tunings shift the entire fretboard, so a transcription that assumes standard tuning will be off by a fixed interval on every note. Detect the tuning first. Fast tremolo passages also stress onset detection; expect denser MIDI output here than the audio actually contains unless the model has tight rhythm gating.
Because Udio produces studio-quality stereo mixes, the source separation step typically isolates the guitar bed cleanly before pitch tracking begins. The metal content above describes the genre's common chord vocabulary and techniques, which our chord recognition and technique annotation models are tuned for.
Three minutes from upload to tab. Optimized for Udio's stereo mix and tempo stability.
Word-level lyric timing. 170+ chord types including the metal extensions. Verse, chorus, and bridge marked.
Beam-search fingering picks shapes your hands can reach. No theoretically-correct but physically-impossible voicings.
How it works
Save your Udio song as audio (mp3 or wav).
Drop the file into the upload box. We separate the guitar from the mix and transcribe.
Tabs, chords, lyrics, and song sections delivered in about 3 minutes. Export to MIDI or PDF on Pro.
Same metal sound, other AI sources
The transcription pipeline accepts audio from any AI music generator. If your metal track came from somewhere other than Udio, start here:
The pipeline detects the tuning automatically before transcribing. Common metal tunings (Drop D, Drop C, Drop B, Standard with extended-range guitars) are all supported. If detection picks the wrong tuning, you can override it from the song view.
Yes. Metal techniques (Palm muting, Tremolo picking, Gallop rhythms, Sweep picking, Tapping, Pinch harmonics) are annotated when the audio signal supports detection. Bend amounts, palm-mute markers, and hammer-on / pull-off links are written into the tab where the model is confident.
Yes. The transcription output is private to your account and is not redistributed. Review Udio's terms of service for any restrictions on downstream use of your generated audio.
Higher-quality stems and cleaner mixes always transcribe better. Udio's standard output is mp3-equivalent quality, which our pipeline handles without issue.
Pro accounts support songs up to 15 minutes. Free accounts are limited to shorter songs; check the upload page for the current free-tier ceiling.
