Basstab Pro
Separate the bass, generate tablature, and preview it free in your browser — or download the desktop app to loop tricky parts, edit notes, and play along without leaving your practice flow.
Everything a bass player needs
From stem separation to fretboard visualization, Basstab Pro is built around the practical work of learning and editing bass parts.
Powered by the same class of AI model used by pro studios. Isolates the bass track from the full mix with remarkable accuracy, even on complex recordings.
AI pitch detection and custom post-processing track every plucked note, including ghost notes and fast runs, at millisecond resolution.
See your transcription as traditional tablature, free in any browser. In the desktop app, click any note to edit its fret position or string assignment.
Interactive fretboard diagram shows compatible scales and modes for the song's key. The AI auto-sets the key — available in the desktop app, where you explore and play along.
Download a clean PDF of your tab with one click — in the desktop app, or on web once a song is unlocked. Formatted cleanly for standard paper sizes.
Ask questions about the song — technique tips, theory explanations, or practice routines. Available in the desktop app, powered by AI and tuned for musicians.
Tab in three steps
Works in any browser — or use the desktop app for fully local, private analysis. Your cloud library stays in sync either way.
Drop in any MP3 or audio file. Basstab Pro handles the rest, so you do not need to pre-process anything.
Our pipeline separates the bass stem, detects pitch and timing, identifies the key and tempo, and writes the tab — usually within a few minutes, depending on song length and hardware.
In the desktop app, click notes to correct them, browse scales, and play along with the audio. Every song is saved to your library as a free tab preview in any browser — export to PDF from desktop, or from web once unlocked.
Two ways to analyze
The desktop app is the full experience — free, unlimited local analysis plus playback and editing. The web app is a free, permanent, read-only tab preview: no install, no audio. Your library stays in sync either way.
Install on macOS, Windows, or Linux. Local analysis and playback are always free and unlimited — unlock the complete editing toolset for 1 credit ($2) per new song.
- Stem separation, playback, and transcription — free and unlimited, no account needed
- Audio stays on your machine
- Works offline after first-run setup
- Looping, tab editing, and spot re-analysis once unlocked
- Mixer, tuner, scale browser, and AI insights once unlocked
- Once unlocked, sync a song's stems across your desktop devices — zero-knowledge encrypted, so we never see the audio or your passphrase
- Works with copyrighted songs because audio never reaches our servers
- 1 credit ($2) per unlocked song; local re-analysis is free
Add your file and get a tab in your browser — free, permanent, and read-only, with no audio playback or editing. Unlock a song for 1 credit ($2) to download it as a PDF.
- Nothing to install
- Works on any device, any OS
- Free, read-only tab preview kept in your library forever
- Your uploaded file is deleted immediately after analysis — nothing is retained
- Owner-only access, never public
- 1 credit ($2) unlocks PDF download — playback and editing are desktop-only
Don't upload a recording unless you own it or have permission from the copyright holder.
Copyright friendly by design
Your audio is yours. No song you add is ever made public, shared, or stored in a way anyone else can access.
With the desktop app, stem separation runs locally. Original audio and stems never leave your machine — only the resulting tab JSON (fret positions, timing, chord data) is synced to your cloud library.
For an unlocked song, enable cross-device stem sync to pick up playback and editing on another desktop machine. Stems are encrypted on your device with a vault passphrase before being synced — the passphrase never reaches our servers, and we store only encrypted blobs we cannot read.
Basstab Pro generates tablature for personal practice and learning. Generated tabs are not published or shared. The platform is designed to support fair use, not to circumvent copyright law.
$2 per credit. No subscription.
Analysis is always free — unlimited on desktop, permanent on web. One credit unlocks a song for good: the full editing toolset on desktop, or a PDF download on web.
Web never stores or plays audio, so there's nothing to expire — your free tab preview stays in your library forever. Re-analysis of an unlocked desktop song is free.
