Tech Help: MP3 ===> MIDI

Postby Frayo » Mon Jul 28, 2003 1:57 am

I was wondering, how does one take an MP3 and convert it to a MIDI? The reason being is that I have a MIDI program that can make sheet music from MIDI files. I am not to concerned about quality only pitch and timing. I can pick out melody by ear, but Im always off. I am also virtually incapable of picking out chords. Some of these songs are not in the best quality and difficult to hear.

To sum this up in one line...
How do you make a MIDI file from an MP3 recording?

Thanks.

Wow, I'm not sure if it's possible, but I suppose there's software out there that can come close. Seems to me that it would be very difficult to translate digital audio to MIDI, since you would have to analyze the frequencies/tones and somehow be able to

Tech Update!

This is odd, There are ordinary people who can record MIDIs from audio with something called a MIDI Sequencer/Sampler.

I know that if you get MIDI data and feed it into a comptuer you can easily record it into a MIDI file-- All my keybo

I don't have much experience at this, but I can tell that as long as you have an MP3, you have a WAV. That's because it's very easy to convert them to WAV with Goldwave or even Winamp (yes, Winamp 2 can turn mp3--->wav!), both freeware. About converting d

Frayo, some replies with my basic understandings:

Is Mp3 to MIDI possible?
Not really to my knowledge. You've got complex waveforms in a Wav or Audio file, not discrete notes that can have MIDI notes applied to.

Does anyone know of a high quality (

Thank you for all your help.

This is also a puzzling question. I got some sotware here (downloaded it from various sites) that claims to have a sequencer that can convert WAV to MIDI. I tried this, and I got some funky results....

Oh, by the way the

One way to learn solos is to get some hardware/software that will slow down the music without changing it's pitch. I used to have such a device for guitar, I'm sure there must be something available for keyboard players.
