hi all , anyone know the best way way to get midi from audio/wave files ? tried a few programs but no joy . I use reason and logic . thanks
if you wanted to use an audio file as in individual hits from a loop in reason you could sample and slice into nnxt or you could just get recycle ,its so easy 2 use man and it doesn’t cost that much … not sure on the logic front .
aw i have recycle man and do make rex files , it actually has an option to save as midi but its never the right notes .
Do you mean somehow converting audio into midi as in if you have a chord played as audio the midi somehow reproducing the notes played but in midi?
I would be suprised if that is possible. I would just replay it.
aye suppose man , guess i could play them . just tryin to find a lazy way haha
First google search I found

Have no idea if it’s accurate or not
Oh found another one too
Audio to MIDI and MP3 to MIDI Software
Yeah you can with Logic… takes a bit of getting used to with the settings for it.
Not at the Mac now… so heres a rough idea (App to follow Guys! :D)
Import your Audio to the Arrange in Logic.
Open up the Sampler window to see the waveform.
In the file options, hit audio to midi. Boom.
Now… You’ll get a load of options - think it comes up in the dialog box as its converting it. If you move the sensitivity around, you’ll see a load of lines on the bottom of the waveform going on the transients - same as recycle.
Only works or works best with mono. Not sure if it converts to mono automatically or you do it beforehand - ages since I done it. Not sure what the different results might be.
Different options there for Drums / Guitar stummed / guitar plucked etc… so choose something similar in speed style.
The file appears on top of the audio file in the Arrange… Its Blue like the Audio File, not green. I remember it to be annoying to slide the midi off away from the audio, but it does seperate. If you have a midi track under it, it’ll probably slip down.
Works cool enough with drums. I remember throwing in a couple of melody bits, but you need to use a bit of imagination to fill in the blanks that the sensitivity has left out.
Let me know if you have any problems & I’ll check it out, but as I say, its not a feature that I’ve used too much - I’d say with regular use, you’d get the hang of it.
Tell us how you got on with it as well Man
aye that worked . Thanks man come in handy
Sound
you can do this in cubase. just record audio and then transpose to midi.
Nice one ICN…totally forgot about that one in Logic.
Not 100% sure how it works but a friend of mine uses Melodyne to do the same. Says it’s pretty accurate.

Sometimes think that its kinda like cheating on your Wife making Midi’s like that - But what she doesnt know wont hurt!
Nice to have, but I havent used it that much. Surprised Ableton doesnt have it as its basically a groove extraction tool… they have that covered, so you’d think it would be in there.
Never tried Melodyne… Think there’s a little stripped down version that you can get. Must see if theres a demo for the buzz
