Sometimes it happens that you hear a song, it “sinks” into the soul, but then you can’t find it in any way. In such situations, a special program that analyzes and recognizes tracks can help you. Our article will discuss one such utility. It is called Tunatic. With its help, you can find a song without much difficulty. This program is one of the first such utilities.
Tunatic Features
Before you talk about how to use the Tunatic program, you need to consider the features of this utility. Note that it can work on both the Windows operating system and Mac OS. The utility size is small, distributed free of charge. You can work with the software product both through a line input and through a microphone. The sound source in the utility settings is determined. If you plan to use the program without a microphone, then specify Stereo Mix in the settings. Then the utility will correctly recognize the music that will play on the computer.
Principle of operation
So how to use Tunatic and what is its working principle? Everything is quite simple. You need to run the utility and let it “listen” to the song. It is important that the track record is of good quality. Otherwise, the utility will not be able to determine the song and make a "cast". The process of creating the latter takes 15 seconds. After that, the program in its database looks for a match and produces a result.
It is possible to replenish the database with new tracks using the Tunalyzer program. This utility stores a large number of copies of existing tracks.
Program interface
For those who want to understand how to use Tunatic, it will be useful to learn about the utility interface. It is made in the style of minimalism. The interface is an oblong window with a simple design. In the background there is a graphic equalizer that works when processing a track. There is also a line in the interface that displays information. There is also a small context menu with a couple of items.
How to use?
Now let's move on to the most basic question: “How to use Tunatic?” Turn on the program first. Go to settings, select an external broadcast device. A suitable sensitivity and microphone volume are also selected there. Everything, the program is ready to work. You can now include a song for recognition. It will be enough a couple of seconds for the program to determine the track, and also a few more will be required to get the result.
Further, the utility will offer a song search in the Google search engine or in its database. Sometimes it’s worth trying a second time to identify the track, because there are always errors and inaccuracies in the work.
Without microphone
How to use Tunatic without a microphone? Thus, using the product is even easier. So how to do this? You need to go to the "Control Panel". Next, go to the “Sounds and Audio Devices” tab. Then select “Audio,” and then “Record Sound.” Next, you need to select the "Volume", and in it set this volume. Then click on “Record Level”, there select the Stereo Mix item and check the box there. Everything, the preparatory phase is over.
In the process, you need to start scanning each song again. It is desirable that there is no extraneous noise on the recording or you need to select a cleaner fragment. Next, turn on the program, turn on the track. Adjust the sound with the Stereo Mix slider. That's all, and then the program will offer a search in the Google search engine for the text you hear.
