I play in a rock band, and people often ask for bass tabs to my parts. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good way of auto generating notes or tabs from isolated bass guitar tracks. I tried some tools, but the results were really bad.(https://rickyhan.com/jekyll/update/2020/05/23/algorithm-for-fretboard-arrangement.html)

You would think since bass guitar plays one note at a time, it would be reasonably easy to transcribe the notes, but I haven't been able to find anything that does the job.

Here is an example of bass stem I'm trying to auto transcribe: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1__20KijfHcg56A-HCtlehL_exur9AL0t/view?usp=sharing

In a recent post related to the Hey app rejection from the Apple Appstore, John Gruber (Daring Fireball) writes:

"To say that “many developers do not want to speak out for fear of falling afoul of Apple” is an understatement. Almost none do. And one thing I’ve learned this week — mostly via private communication, because, again, they fear speaking out publicly — is that there are a lot of them"

and

"I think if Apple measured developer satisfaction scores on the App Store, the results would be jarring."

I would be interested in hearing these stories. Perhaps Apple needs to hear them too.
