How to use Audio to MIDI

  1. Load an isolated voice, bass, or lead playing one note at a time. Choose the pitch range that best fits the source.
  2. Set the shortest note you want to keep, then select Transcribe notes. Compare the original to the synthesized notes and cue suspicious pitches in the list.
  3. Set the export tempo to match your project and download the MIDI. In your DAW, assign a software instrument and review note starts, lengths and pitches.

Frequently asked questions

Can I transcribe chords or an entire song?

The pitch tracker works on a single melodic line. Overlapping notes can confuse it. For a song’s harmony, use Detect BPM, Key & Chords, or separate a lead before attempting transcription.

Why is a quick note missing or split into several notes?

A higher minimum note length filters out brief notes, while slides and vibrato can produce extra note changes. Try a different shortest-note setting and use the original audio to check the result.

Will a MIDI file sound like my recording?

MIDI stores note events and timing. The instrument you assign in your DAW determines the sound. Use the original audio when you need the tone and expression of the performance.
