FAQ
Clear answers before the first song.
Chord detection apps can be confusing. Here is the practical version: what GigaChords is, what it is not, and how the first product should behave.
How accurate is GigaChords?
Automatic chord detection is difficult, especially with dense mixes, unusual harmony, fast passing chords, or noisy recordings. GigaChords is built around usable timelines, real-song QA, editable charts, and honest improvement instead of pretending every result is final.
Does GigaChords upload my music?
The product direction is local-first where supported by the platform. Some future features may need network access, but private files and recordings should not need to become public uploads.
Which formats are supported?
The current app direction starts with common files such as MP3 and WAV. The website only promises formats once they are verified in the app builds.
What can V1 import?
The V1 public app is focused on local audio files and microphone recordings.
Is GigaChords a tab library?
No. GigaChords is not trying to become a giant tab catalog. It is a chord analysis and practice tool for audio you provide or are allowed to use.
Can I edit wrong chords?
Yes. Editable charts are core to the product because a musician's ear should be able to repair and keep the best version.
Can I transpose for capo or voice?
Yes. Capo and transposition are central workflows, especially for guitarists and singers.
Can I export charts?
Not in the first public V1 scope. Musician-friendly export is planned for a later Pro workflow after the app, rights copy, and QA path are ready.
