Audio To Midi Converter, Audio to Midi Converter Options

[vega145]

Hi,

First posting here, so hope you can help.

I'm looking for an audio to midi converter, in order to allow me to transcribe audio recorded drum parts a bit easier. I'm doing it by ear at the moment!

I have Cubase to do the transcription, but I believe that it has to be in a midi format for it to work.

I need to know if anyone has any experience with converting audio to midi, and what software is best for the job (or freeware even!).

I'm a newbie, so go easy!


Thanks,

Vega

ALso for altering the drum sounds you have there are some plug Ins that will allow you to take certain types of audio like drum hits and replace the recorded notes with other sounds that you select.
SoundReplacer is one from Digidesign and I am sure there are others.
These applications that work on the actual audio itself, and require not conversion to MIDI.
You select the Hits your want to replace and the Hits you want to replace them with.
Takes a bit of getting used to but there are some amazing effects you can achieve.

Maybe someone else on this site can name some of the other applications that can do this, I am sure there are a lot of them around and some of them are probably Plug Ins for Cubase. Remember this is repllacing actual audio with audio.
Newbieism is a state of mind, I hardly ever post here or anywhere but i sure can learn a lot of new tricks for an old dog here.
