Drop in the video
A phone recording of a show is enough; the picture is never decoded, only its audio track is read.
Live concert to sheet
A concert is not a chord chart until somebody writes it down. Jambox takes the video you filmed, reads the performance — applause and all — and lays the chords and the words out as a page you can take to the next gig.

The performance is read
Chords, key, tempo and words come from that night rather than from the studio version — so an arrangement that changed on tour comes out as it was played.
A key change is marked
When the last chorus steps up, the chord track raises a flag on the bar it happens, and the chart keeps reading correctly after it.
What you get
- The chords and words of that performance
- The key and tempo it was actually played at
- A chart you can print for the next show
Where it stops
The import ceiling is the machine’s memory, not the ticket: five to eleven minutes depending on RAM, so a single song from a show is fine and a three-hour concert is not. Applause can blur a chord at a section break, and a live take that drifts in tempo is read as it drifts.
Questions
Is this different from importing a studio track?
Only in what it has to read: a live take brings applause, an arrangement that changed, and often a key change at the end — all of which the analysis follows rather than smooths away.
Can it take a whole concert?
Not in one import. The duration ceiling is five to eleven minutes by machine, so it is one song at a time.
What if the crowd drowns out a chord?
Double-click the chord and set it. The correction reaches the chart and the PDF.

Edit the chords
Recognition gets most of it, and the rest is a tap: change any chord by hand, and the chart, the sheet and the export all follow.
Edit the lyrics
The words are editable too — fix a line the analysis misheard, and the correction is what the track, the sheet and the PDF carry.

One menu, five ways out: the original stems and your own takes as ZIPs, the whole mix as a WAV, and the chart as an A4 sheet or a grid. All written on your own machine.
